Heritage Kitchen Tile — Teak and Antique Brass
The splashback takes heat, oil and turmeric daily. Glazed porcelain and epoxy grout are what keep it looking new. Indian craft detailing on a contemporary frame — jaali, cane, inlay and hand-finished brass, used sparingly.

Tile questions
How do I set out tile so it does not end on a sliver?
Start from the most visible corner and centre the field, so the cuts land equally at both ends and are never less than half a tile. Dry-lay the first row before fixing anything.
Should grout match or contrast?
Match it if you want the surface to read as one plane; contrast it if the pattern is the point. In kitchens and bathrooms use epoxy grout either way — it does not stain or harbour mould.
Can large-format tile go on walls?
Yes, with the right adhesive and back-buttering, and mechanical support for anything above about 1.2m in a single piece. It gives you far fewer joints, which is usually the goal.
Are handmade tiles harder to maintain?
The glaze is durable but the uneven surface holds more grease behind a hob. They are a beautiful choice for a splashback and a poor one for a shower floor.
