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?

Geometrical black and white patio tiles with round wooden table and cushioned chair.

no, that's too old-fashioned and ordinary for me 🙂

Unconventional installation makes ordinary tiles look special.
But you really need to approach it with creativity rather than money – anyone can use money 🙂

It’s just for the laundry room

How many square meters (square feet)? The potential savings are limited, right? If you find a tile that is 10 euros (about 11 USD) cheaper per m² (square foot), that would result in a total saving of X euros (dollars) for the entire laundry room compared to the original tile mentioned above. Of course, every euro counts, but...

A Google image search with your photo only leads to one source, apparently. It suggests “kakeldekor Marrakesch.” Quite interesting :-).

10m² (107.6 ft²).
As mentioned, the Kerion above should therefore cost €1000.

You can find simple tiles at the hardware store, black and white, natural edge, about 20x20cm (8x8 inches), which cost €15/m² (1.39 ft²).
I was hoping there might be similar ones available with the decorative pattern.

Potential savings: €850.

Luxurious bathroom with freestanding bathtub, mirror, and geometric tiled floor

These are also cool and could be created with any mosaic tile.

Mosaic tiles with all those grout lines for the laundry room? You can't be serious.
