Blue Leather Ceramic Accent Tiles 6×6

This is the undecorated member of the blue leather group: a 6×6 ceramic accent tile with no design recorded against it, just the colour and the finish. Pieces sell individually and cover 0.25 square feet each.

Nothing but colour and texture

Where the other squares in this blue carry a named design, this one carries none, which makes it the piece to use when a wall needs quantity rather than incident. Leather finish gives the face a matte, slightly worked surface. Style is logged as rustic and the body runs 3/8 inch, matching its relatives so a plain field can be broken by a patterned piece without a step. Grout choice does a lot of work behind a colour this deep: a matching line lets the wall close into a single block, while a paler one turns the same tiles into a visible grid.

• The plain option No design recorded, which suits a field rather than a feature.
• Same body 3/8 inch matches the other squares in this blue.

Shower walls

Shower walls is the usage recorded, living room the noted room. Waterproofing goes behind the tile and this finishes over it. Counting is simple at a quarter of a square foot a piece, and ceramic tiles this size cut on a hand cutter for most trimming around a niche or a valve. Buying by the piece means an order can follow a drawn panel exactly, with a few spares held back for breakage or a later repair.

• Quarter foot pieces 0.25 square feet each keeps the arithmetic easy.
• Field or accent Plain faces make this the practical choice for larger areas.

Why we chose it

• Quantity piece An undecorated face is what a larger area usually wants.
• Matte surface Leather finish keeps the blue from reading as lacquer.
• No sealing Glazed ceramic needs no sealer at any point.

Care

A household tile cleaner and a soft cloth are enough. In a shower, wiping down occasionally keeps soap film from settling into the texture of the finish.
