Cottage Garden Blue
Tile of the Year for 2025
We’re excited to announce ‘Cottage Garden Blue’, from the new Décor range, as our Tile of the Year 2025.
Each year we nominate one of our beautiful tiles as the must-have tile for the upcoming year. For 2025, we’ve crowned Cottage Garden Blue because of its vintage-style elegance and on-trend blue and white colour palette.
Inspiration
Cottage Garden Blue draws inspiration from British blooms which have been reimagined into a dainty floral pattern.

“The concept for Cottage Garden came about during a visit to a local walled garden. While exploring, I was overwhelmed by the beauty and natural intricacy of the surrounding floral displays and was inspired to create a tile design that showcased these blooms in all of their splendour.” – Becca Keenan, New Products Designer

Wonderfully original, Cottage Garden Blue spans across an 18-tile set in a brick bond formation creating an unbounded pattern repeat for versatility and design flair. Due to the intricacies, it’s incredibly rare to see a pattern repeat across a brick bond formation and the final result is a true testament to our skilled designers and artisans.
