There is a brand new design style currently emerging in the world of interior design. It marks a return of organic finshed products combined with understated Seventies detailing.  
We are seeing the earthy warm tones of terracotta become a great trend, but it's so exciting to see them also being paired with organic stone-effect tiles, either highlighted with Boho style tile Murals, or encaustic style products. A warm atmospheric combination, that is taken to a different level, with the slightest nod to a period often only assocated with pop art and clashing pattern.

One of the key design elements of this style is the resurgence of the once very popular Spanish arch. Seen in so many properties in the UK during the 70s, it was meant to bring just a touch of the archirectural detail found in traditional Mediterranean villas, to our cooler shores. We Brits loved the vibe they brought! Only for them to fall out of favour during the late 1980s when we decided that either minimal contemporary, or full on Victorian detailing was the only way to go!  
It's great now, as with all design cycles, that 70's design is being appreciated by a new younger audience of designers who are keen to introduce it to spaces with mid century touches and natural effect wall and floor finishes.

The Baked Tile Tropical Stone range, offers a charismatic collection of stone effect porcelain. This fabulously organic styled collection, focuses on a plain, relatively small format 20x20cm tile, that emulates the beauty of a simple off-white stone. To add a punch it also has a tropical inspired Mural that can be used on walls or floors, both inside and out!  The tile looks equally inspiring in contemporary or retro style interiors. In this image they have paired it with our Marrakesh brick dark, which introduces an interesting  floor layout design to the space.
Baked Tiles new collections of terracotta tiles are superior to its earlier counterparts - these require no sealing which means that they are easy to clean and are stain resistant. They are produced in different shapes and multiple textures making their options for installation varied and extremely exciting.
The Tropical Stone Mural featured in this bathroom is made up of 36 tiles and measures 120cm x 120cm. Its decorative elements combine to create a flowing tropical haven. Indeed, Tropical Stone has been a firm winner with both interior designers and home owners , so they are very proud to have added this stunning Mural to the collection at Baked.
