Kitchens: With the popularity of cooking programs on television it’s clear that Australians are rediscovering a passion for food and its preparation. More than ever the kitchen is the heart of the home. Make it look as good as it smells and feels by whipping up a warm and welcoming tessellated floor from OETA that’s as strong, safe and stylish as a certain larger than life food critic.
Dining Rooms: Once you’ve made that perfect meal you want to enjoy it with family and friends in a perfect setting. But accidents can happen; some pasta sauce, red wine, coffee spilled on the floor. It’s not a drama. OETA’s tessellated floors just wipe clean.
Lounge / Family Rooms: Cool in summer and warm in winter, vitrified porcelain tiles by Winckelmans of France, Used to create OETA’s tessellated floors, are the ideal choice for your living room floor:-elegant, with a vast range of patterns and colourways; durable; non-slip and hygienic ( they won’t harbour dust-mites or pollens ).
Hearths: Nothing beats the feel of a warm, cozy fire during the winter months. The Olde English range of hearth tiles combines tessellated patterns, classic vitrified mosaics and vividly coloured plain gloss tiles in two sizes, plus printed and embossed decorative tiles-single or multi coloured. You can even have a design hand-painted to your requirements.

For the renovation of this charming Newport residence, the owner embraced a vibrant coastal/retro vibe throughout their home.
Olde English Tiles supplied the bathroom floors, shower recess walls, and laundry floors with our striking Herringbone Tapestry pattern from the Art Deco Tapestry Collection, showcasing a lively blend of speckled colours 510 and 502, along with Ontario, Bleu Pale, Yellow, and Havana - all colours from our Winckelmans range of vitrifield porcelain tiles.
To complete the look, the downstairs saloon was finished with our hand-glazed brown wall tiles, adding rich warmth and a nostalgic touch to the space. The result is a bright, character-filled home that perfectly blends timeless retro elements with a fresh coastal feel.

Situated in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, this distinctive, character-filled home, built in 1898 & exhibiting stylistic influences of Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau & Queen Anne Revival, was definitely showing its age and in need of a complete renovation - inside & out. Despite its generous proportions and exotic detailing, the entry hall looked shabby and uninviting - the original floor boards were warped and stained by water damage. The owner chose to replace them with a restrained, elegant and hard wearing tessellated floor from Olde English Tiles - the Liverpool pattern in black, white & pale green, combined with a simple strip border. The finished result strikes a perfect balance between the richly detailed facade and the understated sophistication of the interior, allowing the owner to explore her artistic ideas and personal style.

As you drive up the long, winding road flanked by giant trees, an expectation is created of what you will encounter at the end of your journey. Like something from a 19th century romance by one of the Bronte sisters, the grand Tudor style house sits on the crest of a hill overlooking the rolling landscape of Grose Vale in rural NSW. This powerful impression continues once you reach the entrance hall with its dramatic tessellated floor, featuring the Westminster pattern with a Deco border, enhanced by a complementary paint scheme on the walls, making it undoubtedly the highlight of the project.

Descending the stairs of this Victorian terrace house you enter into a space of luxurious patterns and colours that seem at odds with their prosaic location - the kitchen cum breakfast area. Entering the kitchen proper, the ornately turned banister spindles and lush floral wallpaper give way to a more utilitarian aesthetic, where silver grey lacquered cabinets provide a neutral frame for the dramatic tessellated floor - the Liverpool pattern, in charcoal, white & blue. The porcelain tiled floor unifies all the disparate design elements of the space - wallpaper, cabinetry, stone benchtops & splashback, and provides a durable, easy maintenance surface that will stand up to the heaviest traffic for decades.

"This traditional weatherboard worker's cottage in the harbour suburb of Birchgrove has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis both inside and out. The owner chose to gut the original interior and rebuild it to her taste and to make it more responsive to the demands of a modern lifestyle and a young family. She used colours from around the property and incorporated them into the tessellated floor design of the main entrance - the Westminster with Newcastle border. The owner's eye for the telling detail is evident in the light fittings, door furniture, tapware and the pressed metal ceiling. A nice touch in this space is the inclusion of a fireplace featuring the Ribbon Rose decor tile & dusty pink subway tiles. This is an entrance that will continue to impress visitors and take the knocks from boisterous youngsters for many years to come."

This graceful Victorian terrace features the Leeds pattern and Norwood border on the path, verandah and main entrance. Designer Dee Cotter chose a traditional pattern to honour the vintage of the house, (and customized it with her favourite colour - green - as the key element in the colour palette). Using the same pattern and colours throughout, creates a unity to the entire project. The paint colours of the hallway have been determined by those of the floor. Read Q & A here.
