Looking for artisan tiles Stamford has to offer? Spaces By Design on Scotgate is now a Fired Earth partner showroom.
Fired Earth has curated tiles since 1983. The collection began with terracotta floor tiles from an Oxfordshire farm. It has typically grown one material at a time, rather than chasing every trend, and now runs from limestone and marble through to hand-glazed porcelain and zellige collection.
Format matters as much as material. A vertical layout tends to pull the eye upwards, which helps a room with a low ceiling. A horizontal layout can make a narrow hallway or cloakroom feel wider than it is. Neither trick replaces the tile itself. It’s often the detail that decides whether a scheme reads as considered or accidental.
Fired Earth tiles are generally chosen to sit alongside other materials rather than on their own. A terracotta floor pairs naturally with painted cabinetry or a stone worktop; a patterned wall tile often works best kept to one feature rather than spread across a whole room. If you’re planning a tessellated or patterned layout, it’s worth ordering a few extra tiles to allow for cuts, wastage and any future repairs.
The team at Spaces By Design can talk you through the range in person. They can help match a tile’s material, format and colour to your kitchen, bathroom or wider project.

Artisan describes how a tile is made, not what it costs. At Fired Earth the word is earned by material and craft. That’s easiest to see in the details: terracotta tiles that are still generally hand-glazed today, and small colour variations that come from the hand rather than a machine.
It’s a bit like buying a small piece of craft rather than a factory finish. That variation, sometimes called the beauty of imperfection, is what gives a wall its character years after it goes in.

Yes. The showroom lets you handle samples before you commit so you can see the colour and texture for yourself. It’s open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm, and Saturday, 10am to 1pm. It’s closed on Sundays and bank holidays.
