We are artists/designers first, and run our business and e-Store more in the manner of an Art Studio or Atelier. We specialize in products for restorations and new construction including historically accurate "subway" tile. We sell direct to interior designers, architects, builders and homeowners alike. Due to the nature of our work in which we take on large, complex and often long-term project commitments, orders and inquiries are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. We are often out of the Studio on projects for weeks at a time. We prefer that you contact us via email – info@designsintile.com. While we maintain every effort to respond quickly, sometimes there is a lag time.
Our purpose is to create a unique synthesis of art, ornament and architecture in every installation. We value attention to detail to give you the best installation possible and place constant attention to detail on design, as well as layout, for a completely planned installation.
Specifying and ordering tile for the best possible installation is a time consuming and complicated process. There are many types of installation methods that affect the choice of tile and trim shape. There are many types of trim shapes that might serve the same purpose. We feel it is impossible to run a standard, web based store where you just point and click, place the order, have the tile delivered without human contact due to the nature of the myriad possibilities offered by our historically based product lines.
We have Plain Undecorated Tile & Trim in our Historic White glaze in stock, on hand and ready to be shipped. We are also offering Decorative Tile - Overruns & Clearance featuring items from our Decorative Tile Gallery and other custom projects. Our plain tile and trim, offered in our Historic White glaze, matches old tiles (from 1880's -1930's) that have been sent to us over the years for use in restoration projects. It is a high gloss, translucent glaze that "reads" as creamy white, as you can see the tile body through the glaze. It is a smooth glaze and not a crackled finish.
As we are booked for projects into 2011, we will not be providing quantity estimates (takedowns), custom designs, new commissioned tile art or layout of tile installations until further notice. New items for sale will be posted from time to time in the Designs In Tile store, so check back for our newest offerings.

Plain Tile & Trim is a square-edged, true-sized, 3" x 6"x 5/16" "subway" tile, as well as 6" x 6", 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" and a 4” Hex. The glaze is our most popular color --"Historic White" -- a translucent glaze that was matched to tiles produced during the 1880’s through the 1930’s. It is a high gloss, translucent glaze that "reads" as creamy, off-white, as you can see the tile body through the glaze. It is a smooth glaze and not a crackled finish.
We are currently offering two lots of tile (Lot 1 & Lot 2). You should choose material from only one lot for the best possible installation.
- Lot 1 is indicated in the SKU # as SKU XXX-1 and is first quality material.
- Lot 2 is indicated in the SKU # as SKU XXX-2. The tile is still first quality, but has slight “picture framing” (glaze is slightly thicker around the edges, due to barometric pressure/humidity issues when firing). This material is discounted -20%.
