Inspiration

View our tessellated pattern of the month ‘Leichhardt’ a stunning classic and traditional tessellated design. This intricate pattern is a complex geometry created from several shapes and sizes such as squares, rectangles, triangles and encaustic decorative tiles. Placed in a grid like formation to illustrate the beauty of this design. In each grid is a decorative tile called ‘Lucerne’ which sets the mood and vibe for this design pattern.

Design Aesthetics

Tessellated tiles, known for their geometric patterns and intricate designs, offer a unique aesthetic appeal in interior and exterior design. Here’s an overview of their design aesthetics and how they can enhance various spaces:

  1. Historical elegance

  • Victorian and Edwardian influence: Tessellated tiles are often associated with ornate floors of Victorian and Edwardian era buildings. Their use can infuse a space with a sense of history and timeless elegance.
  • Art Deco flair: Some tessellated patterns reflect the bold, geometric styles of the Art deco period, adding a touch of retro glamour.

2. Geometric intricacy

  • Complex patterns: Tessellated tiles are known for their complex, repeating patterns. They can range from simple shapes, like squares, and triangles, to more elaborate designs incorporating multiple shapes and sizes. ‘Leichhardt’ pattern design creates a strong visual impact, drawing the eye and adding dynamism to a space.

3. Versatility in design

  • Customisable patterns: the arrangement of tessellated tiles can be customised allowing for unique designs that can fit any space and style.
  • Colour schemes: Tessellated tiles come in various colours from monochromatic schemes to vibrant, multicoloured patterns, offering flexibility in design and the ability to complement different colour palettes.

4. Statement making

  • Focal points: A floor adorned with tessellated tiles can serve as a striking focal point in a room, anchoring the design and dictating the aesthetic.

Application in modern and traditional settings

  • Contemporary spaces: in modern settings, tessellated tiles can add a touch of contrast or a nod to the past, especially when used in minimalist or industrial designs.
  • Traditional interiors: In classic or period-style homes, they reinforce the architectural style and add authenticity to renovations or restorations.

Practical considerations

  • While aesthetically pleasing, it’s important to consider the practicality of tessellated tiles in terms of maintenance, durability and suitability for the intended space (e.g; wet areas. high traffic zones).

Tessellated tiles offer a unique blend of historical charm, geometric intricacy and customisable design, making them a versatile choice for adding character and elegance to both modern and traditional interiors. Their ability to create a statement, either subtly or boldly, allows them to adapt to various design needs and preferences.
