Home decor is an ever-evolving world, with new trends constantly popping up — and hand-painted artisan tiles are a timeless choice, always in style. These tiles can add a unique touch to any space, making them an excellent option for anyone looking to spruce up their kitchen, bathroom or outdoor patio.

Below, we take a closer look at this growing trend and why it's capturing the hearts of homeowners and designers alike. And, of course, we'll feature some of Riad Tile's beautiful handmade artisan tiles that will inspire you to incorporate this trend into your home decor. 

History of Hand-Painted Artisan Tiles


Hand-painted artisan tiles have been a part of decorative arts for centuries, with roots in ancient civilizations like Persia, Spain and Portugal. In the Netherlands, Dutch artisans used blue smalt to create the famous blue tiles in Delft. These tiles adorned mosques, palaces and other significant structures, showcasing intricate geometric patterns, floral motifs and calligraphy.
Today, hand-painted artisan tiles are making a comeback in the world of interior design as people look to add personality and character to their homes. They have become a statement piece, often used as a backsplash in kitchens or as a decorative accent in bathrooms.

The Appeal of Hand-Painted Artisan Tiles


Hand-painted tiles have become popular among homeowners and interior designers thanks to their unique designs, exquisite details and vibrant colors. Unlike mass-produced tiles, each hand-painted tile is one-of-a-kind, featuring slight variations in color and design that give them a charming and authentic look.

In addition to their beauty, hand-painted artisan tiles are durable and long-lasting, making them a worthwhile investment for any home renovation project. Whether you prefer bold and colorful patterns or more subdued and delicate motifs, there's a hand-painted artisan tile to match your style.

That's why we're thrilled to announce that Riad Tile offers a wide range of beautiful hand-painted artisan ceramic 6"x6" tiles in various designs and colors.

In the bathroom, hand-painted tiles can create a statement shower wall or as an accent border around the mirror. They can also be used to create a unique and personalized floor design that adds character and texture to the space.

For outdoor spaces, hand-painted tiles can transform a drab patio or pool area into a colorful and inviting oasis. They're perfect for creating an eye-catching accent wall or adding a splash of color to an outdoor fireplace or barbecue area.

If you need more time to decide whether to commit to an entire wall or floor covered in hand-painted ceramic, consider incorporating them in other ways. Add a few tiles to a tabletop or fireplace hearth for a pop of color. Or use them as coasters or trivets on coffee or dining tables.

Just remember to choose a design and color scheme that reflects your style and the overall aesthetic of your home. Consider a warm, earthy-tone pattern if your home is more traditional or rustic. If you prefer a more modern or minimalistic look, choose a design with clean lines and bold colors. With hand-painted tiles, the possibilities are endless. 

Ultimately, the key to incorporating hand-painted tiles into your existing decor is to find the right balance between color, pattern and texture, and to have fun with different combinations until you find the perfect fit.
