ᐅ Looking for tile recommendations, photo included

Hi,

my wife found a tile she really wants. Unfortunately, it’s only available from an exotic manufacturer (Kerion) and is, well, expensive—100€/m² (about 9.3 USD/ft²) including delivery.

But maybe someone knows a tile with the same or a very similar pattern for a lower price?

I took a quick look at the tile. Now I’m feeling dizzy. 😀

Sorry for the off-topic comment. You must really love your wife. 😉

Good evening,

nice and expensive, indeed. If I’m not mistaken, this supplier reintroduces patterns of old cement tiles? If so, try searching for this term on good old Google; you should also find VIA cement mosaic tiles, among others. Maybe that helps you further.

By the way, best of luck with your new challenge ;-)

VIA are genuine cement tiles. They are not coming into my home—I’m not going to oil tiles! Some things you just don’t have to put up with.
Kerion makes FSZ in a cement tile look.

I just can’t understand why the tile is so expensive. The pattern is really nothing complicated. But it’s probably protected, so there’s no hardware store copy available for 20€/m² (just for the laundry room anyway).

Regarding the challenge:
Yes, there will be a lot happening in the coming weeks, it’s going to be exciting, stay tuned 🙂

Yes, I am familiar with this and similar patterns from Moroccan traders, found here in Hamburg at le Marrakesch... I quickly searched online and found this pattern as well. However, it is even more expensive 😕

How about a combination layout with white and black/anthracite-colored tiles – a checkerboard pattern or the white octagonal tiles with small black squares in between?

No, that’s too old-fashioned and ordinary for me 🙂
Well, exclusive is just expensive..
Or I’ll just use white tiles and a bucket of black paint.
