bathroom
Olde English Tiles™ has designed thousands of Heritage, Art Deco, Federation and Victorian bathrooms around Australia with as much care and rigour as we do our exteriors and for good reason; they are more than just a place to wash our bodies clean. They symbolize purity, cleanliness, innocence-if you like. The act of bathing is an act of renewal; it lifts our spirits, relaxes and invigorates us. It makes us feel human again.
Our tessellated and mosaic tiles, which are are extremely safe, inherently slip resistant, and perfectly suited to underfloor heating. Because there is a such a vast choice of patterns and colours, they can be adapted to any size or shape of room. When combined with the company's extensive range of plain subway wall tiles and Federation and Victorian wall tiles, you can achieve a look that's casual or formal, rustic or grand, authentic or simply sympathetic. The sky truly is the limit when it comes to the arrangement of these tessellated patterns.

"The owner of this home on Sydney's lower north shore was keen to reinstate the original mosaic pattern including border on the verandah of her gracious turn-of-the century house. Original mosaic verandah Cremorne – Olde English Tiles™
Her unwavering commitment to authenticity continued into the bathroom & en-suite. She opted for 150x150mm vanilla wall tiles with hand-glazed capping, trim and skirting in brown, combined with the Algonquin 25 mosaic pattern in white, charcoal & havane for the floor. She was seeking a timeless, classic look - and she certainly achieved it."

The owners of this two bedroom California Bungalow semi on Sydney's lower north shore wanted to redo the bathroom to bring it more in line with the Art Deco styling of the house's interior. Such houses typically have small bathrooms and small windows which provide poor natural light during the day. By electing to go all white, with just a hint of black in the mosaic floor - a custom version of the Tiffany 25 hexagon, and by positioning the mirror next to the window thereby increasing the amount of light in the room, they have created a bright & airy space. The hero of the room - the custom-made vanity - adds a touch of warmth and an abundance of style

Despite the boldness of the floor pattern - the Newcastle combined with a Norwood border, the overall feeling of this en-suite is one of restrained elegance, achieved by employing a restricted colour palette, the centrally positioned claw-foot bath, and balance - a design principle that never goes out of date.

Following a massive $57.5 million renovation, the Australian Museum has officially reopened to the public. The heritage-listed building is the oldest museum in Australia and the 5th oldest natural history museum in the world.
Closed for 15 months, the museum has undergone a major transformation by firms COX Architecture and Neeson Murcutt + Neille, with improved and expanded exhibition and public spaces (over 3000sqm), including education rooms, museum shop, cafe & amenities (toilets). The dramatic floor tiles in the public toilets were supplied by Olde English Tiles; the pattern is the Killara in white, dark blue & light blue.

This light-filled bathroom harks back to the aesthetically lavish era of the roaring Art Deco years. A delicately ornate mosaic feature floor, coupled with an organic-edge wall tile, ceremoniously marries heritage pizzazz with modern cleanliness, for a fresh, character-filled finish.

When our clients decided that they needed to improve their dated and impractical bathrooms, including main, en-suite & guest WC, the brief was for something essentially modern, functional, low maintenance, but with a classic timelessness. Consequently they chose mosaics for the floors - the Ritz pattern in black and super white, combined with 300 x 100mm matt white wall tiles stack bonded for a more contemporary feel. Timber vanities and brushed gold tapware add warmth, while circular mirrors & basins contrast with the strong diagonal grid of the floor. The result is a fresh, modern, organic feel adding to a functional streamlined look with just the faintest hint of Deco. These bathrooms certainly add style, comfort and value to this family's Hills District home.
