Hi there Caroline, what advice were you after particularly? Professionals, cost estimates?

I work as a colourist and the easiest method for a upmarket look is to choose an exact colour to match one of the colours in the tile. I would take the tile to a paint shop and get the colourist it match exactly one of the greys in the tile. Make the depth of the colour a light version. All white walls are on the way out. Lappatto tiles usually have some texture as they are semi polished. This is the latest look in tiles as they give a shine without the maintenance of polished porcelain which had been in. They are usually less slippery than satin or polished tiles depending on the brand.

Thanks for this Caroline. I talked to a tiler last week and he argued that you could not clean the tiles without fracturing and spider-webbing the surfaces, so I probably have to find a different way to use them. A pity! Hilary

The closest I have found currently is below.....where the arcs and straight line can be laid in any orientation and line up to make a continous, but random pattern. The difference is that the tiles I am searching for are encaustic not porcelain, the back ground is coloured not white and the “lines” are double lines made up of more than one colour. They are definitely not bespoke.
