The Allure of Handmade

Forget about simple minimalist tiles and clean cut surfaces, it's all about a textured and handcrafted tiles at the moment. Terracotta fits in perfectly with this trend with its matte surface and natural tones. Coordinate with a complementary colour palette and subtle tones for timeless appeal.

The range of Terracotta tiles at Earp Bros are carefully hand-selected from prominent artisan manufacturers in Spain. Our Terracotta products are hand-formed and fired using natural materials and traditional kiln-fire methods which results in a variability of texture, colour, tone, size and shape. These variations are purposeful and create the desirable characteristics of terracotta that are in no way flaws or defects in the material. This includes small chips and undulations in the surface and on the edges of your tiles, all adding to the allure of the handmade. Fired to over one thousand degrees in wood-fire kilns, the end results are striking, exhibiting pleasant tonal variations and surface textures throughout the tile.


Terracotta is making a resurgence in the interior design world today. Terracotta works particularly well with a contemporary design that pays homage to the traditional. This meticulously constructed handmade tile will add a sense of quality and appeal to any creative project.
