Tile Vault: Terre Tiles by Exquisite Surfaces

We're always on the lookout for interesting tiles and if they hint of Morocco, so much the better, which is why we immediately liked these tiles we saw at Cottage Living's Idea House. Simple and monochromatic, they're antique without being fussy, modern without being hard and we love their simple colour scheme which lets the design shine through...

While their use on the stair risers might be a little old-fashioned for us, we could definitely see them being used in other situations. Part of the Terre line of tiles by Exquisite Surfaces, known as one of the premier sources for antique and newly quarried French limstone and antique terra cotta, they're based on antique tiles from North Africa. You can see more of their tileshere.

Wow. Those tiles are amazing. I love them on the stairs, actually.

this is beautiful on the stairs

I really like this, it is lovely.

I love this on the stair risers! Old fashioned in only the BEST way.

Great post. Breathtaking tile.

such a great look and i bet you could do this on a budget with some scrapbook paper/ tile images and a polyurethane coat on top.

What a cool idea on the stairs. The tiles beautiful too.

I love that the risers are all different! It's a beautiful idea!

Beautiful. I plan to put tile on my stairs as well.

If you're looking for a recycled tile product, I recommend Stardust Glass Tile out of Portland, Ore. It's a husband and wife team and they make beautiful, eco-friendly tiles by hand. Here's a link:

I used their tiles in my bathroom and it is now the best room in our house!
