Vintage Floor Tile Ideas

Buried Treasure

When @lucinamr removed the old damaged laminate flooring in their casita (aka little house), they discovered vintage encaustic tiles made in the early 1940s! (Encaustic tile is decorated with colored clays, inlaid and fired.)

Cleaning away paint, glue and other grime was no small task. But they restored the rich colors of this vintage tile flooring to its original glory. Here’s a red cement tile option to recreate a similar look.

Vintage Tile Style

Not all of us are lucky enough to have genuine vintage tile in our home, but you can achieve a vintage style look with the right tile choice. For her entry hall, @no3onthequay used new ceramic tile (Henley by Affinity Tile) with square, rectangular and star shapes to create an encaustic look inspired by vintage Spanish design.
