Merrily Cooking In Front Of A Ceramic Mural With Herb Names.

Posted under Kitchens Tiles & Uncategorized

This handmade ceramic panel has been installed lately in Durban.

It is made up of metro tiles, 75 x 150mm in size and with custom sizes, so that the artist could harmoniously arrange the herb words inside the border.

Although the herb names or words are a classic we did complete another mural at the same time with the husband’s special chilli recipe instead!

The off-white or bone white colour of the metro tile is the choice of most clients as it blends seamlessly with all interiors.

Posted under Kitchens Tiles & Uncategorized

The client often approach us to create and produce handmade tiles for her new kitchens, and this one is the most original of them all!

house-edna_630px_kitchen_close2.jpg

Each handmade tile were seperately formed and pressed by hand with a porcelain clay body and the mural was made to fit the space above the stove in this awesome kitchen!

The colour is a warm off-white with the design in a deep charcoal for a classic end-result.

The children’s input were noted and the ” Een Vir Almal & Almal Vir Een” was partly due to their suggestions.

This Is A Perfect Example On How To Design A Harmonious Kitchen!

Posted under Kitchens Tiles

By using a variety of design elements, Xperiencemakers created a harmonious interior for this Stellenbosch client.

Our small tiles on the wall, all in cream with the checkerboard arrangement of large tiles on the floor contrast with the raw clay brick at the entrance to the kitchen.

The use of colour, with the cream on the walls, cabinets and stove binding the contrasting green and reds  of the cabinets at either side, creates a lively and all so homely kitchen.

The deeper tones of natural wood creates the necassary depth.

What else can you learn from this image?

Refreshing A Kitchen With Plain Washed-out Gray Hand Pressed Tiles!

Posted under Kitchens Tiles

The client, an artist herself, enquired about patterned tiles to use behind her stove and bash basin as  back-splash tiles.

kitchen_630px.jpg

I consulted with her, at the site, and advised her to opt for a rich plain tile that will compliment some of the paint techniques she uses on several of her paintings hanging in the area. In general her interior and objet d’art have a rich patina of colour and texture and there was no need for a big budget patterned tile.

Be so kind to view before and after pictures on www.handmadetiles.co.za
