The Summer Edit: Colour Spirit

Summer is the season to be bold. Longer days and warmer evenings have a way of making us look at our homes differently, and the Colour Spirit edit is all about leaning into that feeling. Rich greens, warm yellows, decorative patterns and playful chequerboard floors all come together in a collection made for homes with personality.

Some of the ranges featured here are currently included in our summer sale, making now a great time to revisit that project you've been planning. And because colour and pattern aren't just seasonal choices, these tiles will bring joy to your home long after summer has passed.

In this blog, you will see for yourself that colour does not always have to be over the top, unless you want it to be. It can be used in so many different ways, and that's what makes this edit so exciting. Some rooms need one bold shade to bring them to life, while others work best with a clever mix of colour, pattern and texture.

That might mean a bathroom where yellow Ribbon flute tiles sit beside a flower inspired pattern to instantly brighten the room, or a deep green Tanjin feature wall where the rich tone is elevated by handcrafted zellige detailing. Colour can be joyful, relaxed, dramatic, or simply contain a subtle detail that makes a room feel properly thought out. Used well, it does not have to fight with the rest of the room. It can lift white sanitaryware, warm up timber, sit against brass, and can easily turn a small nook into your favourite part of the house.

Pattern is where a room can start to feel a bit more yours. It might be something small, like a splashback that makes a plain kitchen feel brighter, or it might be the tile that becomes the first thing people notice when they walk in.

Colour is only half the story because the shape of the tile can completely change the feel of the room.

Look at Aragon green scallop tile around the bath. It gives off a totally different feel to a plain square tile. Those curved edges give the wall a soft, decorative feature that feels playful and a little bit unexpected. Then you have Arno Oval, which takes things in a completely different direction. The slim profile creates a smart, geometric repeat across the wall with a lovely mid century vibe, and using a bright white grout really makes that shape stand out.

The best thing about this edit is that there is no single right way to use it. You might be drawn to a chequerboard floor, a rich glossy green tile, or just a splash of warm yellow to brighten up a bathroom. You do not need to copy a whole room layout to make it work in your home. It is really just about finding that one tile you love, and then letting the rest of the room fall into place around it naturally.
