Spain has long been renowned for its expertise in home ceramics, and is globally recognised as a powerhouse in its field. If you’ve ever visited this sun-soaked nation then its brilliant and colourful designs and patterns, which can often be seen adorning the buildings of some of its most iconic cities, won’t have gone unnoticed – so it’s little wonder than many design enthusiasts and professionals have been coming here to choose ceramics for their latest projects. 

The origins of Spanish tiles go back thousands of years, when during the Medieval times, they were extensively produced in both southern and coastal eastern Spain. Going as far back as the year 711, they were at this time designed and created for purposes including roof tiles, mosaic art, and other decorative features, and can today still be seen throughout the country’s churches, palaces, and other grand, historic buildings. It was this early foray into the world of artisan tile-making that elevated Spanish culture and décor to whole new heights, and in modern buildings they now have a fundamental role to play when it comes to decorating Spanish homes, spreading through kitchens and bathrooms, and across patios and gardens, too.

There’s no denying that Spain is a melting pot of inspiration for anyone looking to inject a bit of luxury into their home, but if you can’t jump on board a flight any time soon due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, then worry not. Mind Tile has been forging a reputation for itself as the go-to online destination for anyone looking to incorporate Spanish ceramics into their home design, and helps visitors to find the perfect ideas to apply to the projects they have in mind.
