The best of our Tessellated Tiles
Special Feature

Designer Series

Olde English Tiles recently approached leading Sydney interior designer Dee Cotter to collaborate on the creation of a range of tessellated tile patterns to complement our traditional range. Dee has used our tiles in her spectacular Victorian terrace renovation and knows first hand how to bring an original tessellated pattern to life with contemporary colours.

Heritage Patterns

Our signature range of tessellated tiles are slip, scratch and stain resistant, fire-proof, hard wearing and versatile. Whether you’re renovating a Victorian bathroom or a verandah for a Californian Bungalow, tessellated tiles are the right choice. Scroll products to see 4 colourways.

Heritage Borders

Olde English Tiles™ tessellated borders have been designed and refined to pair perfectly with our tessellated tile patterns. Whilst aesthetically beautifully, tessellated borders serve an important function, too: if laid correctly, they will disguise the irregularity in non-perpendicular walls commonly found in rooms of heritage buildings and create the illusion that the room is perfectly square. 

Heritage Panels

Often used as the central feature to a tesselalted tile floor, our tessellated panels have been designed to complement our patterns. Often used as a feature piece or as decorative elements in a simple floor, our tessellated panels are custom-made right here in our factory in Camperdown, Sydney. 

Contemporary Patterns

No longer are tessellated tiles limited to period projects. This new collection features modern geometric patterns suited for contemporary houses and commercial projects. Click on the pattern to scroll and see all four colourways. Unlike our heritage collection, you'll notice the patterns are less intricate and feature pops of pinks and green. Scroll products to see 4 colourways.

Colour palette

Colour range

Bring your personal vision and style to bear on our huge range of patterns to create a bespoke design that coordinates perfectly with your home’s unique decor. With a palette of over 30 plain and 25 speckled colours there’s nothing you can’t achieve with our mosaic/tessellated range.

Tips from a Designer.

The first, and still the best.

    Quality tessellated tiles require quality installation. It's for this reason that we operate our own installation division, staffed by experienced tilers who specialise exclusively in heritage projects.

  • An Artisan Approach

    For decades we've been hand glazing wall tiles in authentic heritage colours, and fabricating tessellated patterns to your specifications. We can also provide you with bespoke mosaic patterns, plus encaustic tiles.
  • We highly recommend Olde English Tiles. From our initial consultation with Steven and Tony to the laying of the tiles was done professionally and efficiently. We are so pleased with the result. It looks amazing. Thanks Steven. Julie and Derek Julie - Derek Smith
  • Dom from Olde English Tiles was so easy to deal with - from the moment we walked in, to the time our tessellated tiles were laid! Olde English Tiles provide quality product, excellent service and great value for money. Would highly recommend using OET for anyone looking to add old-world charm to their home. Dominique Tomarchio
  • I would highly recommend Olde English Tiles to anyone who wants quality with professionalism, as well a team who go above and beyond to make sure the result is perfect!. Steven and Tony were exceptional, from design to final execution. As our pathway was going to be built new, there were several issues we were unable to understand, Steven and Tony would come to site and liaise with our builder so all levels and entry steps were exactly where they needed to be, in order to create our beautiful feature pathway! We love it! Matt Ferreira
