Inspiration
The shape of things
At Marlborough, we believe that when it comes to beautiful interiors, it’s all in the detail. Today we are sharing some intriguing shapes to inspire your next project.
Hexagon tiles
Hexagons are certainly having a moment when it comes to interior design, but they’re also a timeless geometric shape.
In our Latitude collection, you’ll discover hexagons in a host of gorgeous blues, greens and greys which coordinate beautifully with wooden flooring. Choose a single shade for a colour block effect, or a mix for a more creative composition.
Don’t feel you have to use hexagons throughout a room - they’re stunning in a small panel or on a feature wall. Thanks to their size, our Latitude hexagon tiles work well with tiles in other shapes - try them alongside bricks to create impact.
Scallop tiles
Scallops have a pretty delicacy about them and create an elegant pattern made up of looping, soft curves. A panel of scallop shapes has a real ‘wow’ factor, lending character and creativity to a space.
Our Soho collection includes scallops in stunning, rich glaze colours, and is made using cobalt and copper oxides - drawing on a history of Victorian tiles - to add layers of depth and interest.
Scallops can be laid with the curve uppermost in the pattern for an art deco effect, or facing downward for a ‘fish scale’ pattern. Alternatively, try a playful and creative Arabesque pattern, like the one shown below.
SoEmerald Scallops; SoAventurine Scallops; Sotuscan Scallops in an unusual Arabesque layout. All from our Soho collection.
