Talavera Tile Stair Risers

January 4, 2018

Depending on their placement in your home, your stairs can be a prominent decorative feature that shouldn't be overlooked. The stair risers present a unique opportunity to decorate your space and give your stairwell a fresh, new look.

If you're feeling stuck on how to decorate your stair rises, don't worry, there are plenty of options. From traditional and timeless to bright and colorful, see a few decorative stair riser ideas. Covering risers with decorative tiles can help bring color, design detail and increased durability to the entire stairway. Tiling the risers on a set of stairs is similar to tiling any other vertical surface; proper layouts, cutting and setting materials are the key to a long-lasting installation; however, a seasoned DIYer can handle the task.

When it comes to decorative stair risers, Talavera Tile is a beautiful and durable option that will add a unique look to your staircase. Mexican tile stair risers are a popular option. These add a unique pop of color and design that can't be beat. Depending on the shape or size of your staircase, you may want to consider contacting a pro for your tile stair riser project.

La Fuente Imports offers a wide selection of handcrafted Talavera tiles that can be delivered right to your door. 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. Solid colors are great for separating your patterns with blocks and patches of color.

Our authentic Talavera tiles are handmade in Mexico and can have both variances in color and imperfections in the finish. This is part of the appeal of Talavera tiles, they are meant to be imperfect and used in a rustic or southwestern setting. The standard sized tiles (4"x4") are kept in plentiful stock and the other sizes are special ordered from Mexico.

Your stair risers can be a fun place to express your unique style. You can make a permanent change or choose a versatile way to decorate your stair risers. Either way, it's sure to stand out!
