Finally the Portuguese bathroom at The Ceramic House is finished and in use! It’s the final room inside The Ceramic House that had never been touched since I moved in 6 years ago.
The inspiration came when I went on my first visit to Portugal in 2012 and discovered that the whole country is covered in tiles! (Well the buildings anyway.) So started my fascination with Portugal and the blue and white Portuguese tile collection.
It took 3 (working!) holidays in a row over 3 years to bring back enough tiles from flea markets to tile one wall of the bathroom. The other feature wall consists of 160 press-moulded tiles, which were inspired by the designs of the tiles on the facades of Portuguese buildings. The third wall is simply flat hand made white tiles.
