There’s a certain charm reserved for terracotta tiles. We can’t help but let our minds wander to those glorious sundrenched terraces on the Med or even a cosy country cottage with well-trodden floors that still look the part years later. The distinctive red colour of these tiles comes from the clay it is made from being high in iron oxide. And if we were to translate the word terracotta into Italian, it means ‘baked earth’. Makes sense, right?
While arguably terracotta tiles never really went out of style, there’s no doubt they’re having quite the resurgence as a kitchen tile idea, and we’re not surprised. They create a warm, comforting look that’s super practical too, especially when laid on the floor in a kitchen.
