A Rainbow of Talavera Tile Colors

September 26, 2014

Talavera Tiles are available in a literal rainbow of colors for your hacienda. Talavera tile is handmade and handcrafted with origins to the 17th century. Spanish explorers arrived in Mexico and introduced a new way of making tiles and pottery. The tiles are reflective of Mexico's culture, using vibrant colors, with nature and animals as inspiration. Each tile is handmade, so no two tiles are exactly alike.

The most popular sizes are 4 inches by 4 inches and 6 inches x 6 inches, and on kitchen or bathroom countertops are framed in with edging tiles along the front and sides. While there are simple colors and designs of Talavera, the bright, vibrant colors and intricate patterns are what Talavera is known and recognized for. Whether you're looking for tiles in blue, green, yellow, or red we are sure to have something in our inventory that you'll love. No Southwestern-style kitchen or bathroom design is complete without Talavera, so get colorful!

Our hand-painted Talavera Tiles are an eye-catching accent in kitchens and baths, decorative ceramic tiles are also perfect for covering the risers on a staircase or the walls of a patio. Be creative with them anywhere in your home and left-over tiles will make excellent coasters and trivets.

The simple and special tile patterns form new geometric designs when combined, for example the corners of each tile creating a new middle piece. Be sure to check the alternate images under each tile to get an impression of this effect. Solid color tiles are great for separating your patterns with blocks and patches of color. Border tiles are ideal around edges like your kitchen counter tops and bathtubs.
