This style of blue and white patterned tile is characterized by the following:
Aesthetic Style: Vintage/Geometric Pattern. The pattern is designed to connect seamlessly when laid out, creating a striking, repeating star, floral, or geometric motif. It offers an aesthetic inspired by Moroccan, Portuguese (Azulejo), or traditional European encaustic designs.
Colour: High-Contrast Blue and White (or off-white/grey). This contrast makes the pattern pop and gives the space a bright, vibrant feel.
Material: Most modern versions are made of Ceramic or Porcelain for better water resistance, durability, and a lower cost than genuine cement encaustic tiles.
Application: Versatile. Highly suitable for flooring in low-to-high traffic residential areas (kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, living rooms) and as a feature wall or backsplash.
Finish: Typically has a Matte or low-sheen finish, which helps mimic the look of traditional encaustic cement tiles and provides better grip for flooring.
