It’s our last article before DTA’s long Christmas break so to celebrate the end of yet another tiletastic year, here are our top ten tile finds of 2024.
1) Petra Palumbo’s Tartan Tiles
Intensely vibrant and wonderfully dramatic, Petra Palumbo‘s tartan tiles are an exciting addition to our mental tile catalogue. Four colours with matching trim pieces and complementing art pieces make this selection a unique choice for interiors. Read more about them here.
2) Abaco Celeste from Giovanni De Maio x Cristina Celestino
Gorgeously contrasting shades of orange and blue make up this intriguing collection from Giovanni De Maio and Cristina Celestino. Subtly retro, endlessly customisable, and exceptionally lovely, Abaco Celeste is a true highlight of 2024. Read more about it here.

4) Bussoga
With designs full of wit and whimsy, Bussoga brings out the best in tile. Offering patterns as playful as butts and bananas, as spooky as eyes and ghosts, and as unusual as a person being shot from a canon, this company is one to remember. Read all about them here.
5) Lux Pottery
New to the scene and adding a range of wonderful features, Trix Newham of Lux Pottery is filling a void. Creating tiles that double as candle holders, plant pots, soap dishes, and more, these gorgeously colourful tiles do much more than just look lovely. Read more about them here.

Finding colourful collections full of bold pigments and unexpected contrasts is always exciting.
