Are you thinking about using Spanish floor tiles for your new home or for a DIY project? If you are not sure yet, let me share some reasons to help you decide! The right choice of tiles can change your look from dull and plain to bright, exciting, and artistic.

It starts with color, shape, and size. For example, we offer Spanish floor tile in a wide selection of shapes and sizes, all of which come in 6 different terracotta colors.  

  • Traditional – light and dark terracotta and golden colors
  • Manganese – several shades of brown with terracotta hints
  • Spanish Mission Red – deep terracotta colors with little color change
  • Antique – textured, non-slip tiles in copper and terracotta colors
  • Antique Mission Red – dark terracotta tiles with a textured non-slip surface
  • Unsealed – natural clay tile in pink and salmon colors that is very absorbent

Some of our most popular Spanish tile patterns are:

There is a shape for every design style.  Each of these shapes comes in sizes as small as 4×4-inches to 24×24-inches.  

Warning: Don’t get lost in the options of Spanish floor tile shapes and sizes.  Contact us if you need help finding a pattern that fits your budget! We are here to help!

Bathrooms are the place to “play” with design. Like this Modern Spanish Revival home, these smaller areas let you explore bold patterns, colors, and Spanish designs. Consider pairing Spanish terracotta floor tiles with the beautiful designs of custom cement tiles. The Manganese Saltillo tiles in the Riviera pattern contrast against the Amalia cement tile pattern on the walls while working in harmony to complete your bathroom’s decor style.

Kitchens are another great place to showcase the artisan qualities of Spanish floor tiles, including provenzal options. Picture a kitchen with Traditional Saltillo floor tiles that have warm, earthy colors and a cozy feel. Or maybe you see a modern design with Manganese Saltillo tiles that mix a stylish look with the natural colors of a Cantera stone range hood.

Spanish floor tiles’ rich colors and textures can transform any kitchen into a culinary oasis. Whether you opt for the deep terracotta shades of Spanish Mission Red or the textured surface of Antique Mission Red, your kitchen floor will stand out and grab attention.

And just like with bathrooms, go into play mode with a decorative Spanish tile design for your backsplash! Handmade cement tiles are an iconic choice for kitchen backsplash tile.

Get cozy in this living room with the dark terracotta colors of a 16×16 Spanish Mission Red floor tile. We love how this red tile flooring complements the rich, reddish-brown Cantera stone fireplace surround. (This is hand-carved natural volcanic stone quarried by artisans in Mexico.) The unique blend of colors and decorative textiles brings an exciting sense of style that your friends will envy!

Don’t be scared to take your Spanish pavers to the great outdoors.  A good example is Antique Saltillo flooring. This type of flooring is perfect for outdoor areas. Its textured surface creates a natural-slip floor space.  Plus, maintenance is easy with high-quality Spanish floor tile sealer.
