Tiles can be used throughout a cave and in many different ways.  Clearly the shape of the cave walls will play a very important part, as clearly natural cave walls are not always a suitable place for tiles.  For those more conventionally finished walls tiles can add a splash of colour, and can add to a theme or indeed create on.

 

 

These Mural tiles are very traditional and are used throughout Spain.  They often depict a story and a more often than not, hand painted and custom made.

 

Another example of mural tiles this one depicting a typical Spanish village.

 

This mural would be ideal as a focal pint in a kitchen, and would look nice on a chimney breast.

 

This mural is yet another example of the sort of design that can be found, this one would look very nice on an external wall that leads onto a terrace.

 

This is another very traditional tile pattern and is often seen in kitchens and in fact dinning rooms.  These tiles are normally found tiled to about half way up the wall from the floor making and easily washable surface.

 

This is another example of the traditional Spanish wall tiles.  However there are many wonderful  tiles available in many different colours and designs.

 

I love these tiles as the pattern on the tiles adds relief as they are highly textured with the patterns that have been made on them.

 

It is very common to see complimentary sets of tiles that can be put together to form a striking pattern.  These tiles are the components to make this sort of design.

 

This is the design in full so that you can see how they all go together.

 

This concrete bench shows how Mural tiles and traditional tiles can be put together to form a decorative but very functional garden bench.

   
 

These very rustic tiles can be used not only as flooring but also as wall tiles or patio/terrace tiles.  Very hard wearing and also very striking.

   
 

These are mosaic tiles which have been used in a bathroom with contrasting colours.  These mosaic tiles can be found in many colours and can be used  in block colours or individually to make designs and patterns on walls.  I once saw a mosaic picture of a dolphin created with these sort of tiles on a bathroom wall.

   
 

Glass bricks or blocks, whilst not really tiles, can be used in areas where tiles might have been used.  This example shows how they have been used to form a shower cubicle.

   
 

Glass brick or blocks can be used to create windows into other rooms to allow in additional light into darker areas whilst still retaining privacy.

   
 

Glass bricks and blocks are ideal for helping to give natural light to rooms further into the cave which have very little to no natural light
