At Mission Tile West, we are experts in hand painted tile. In fact, handcrafted Mexican tile was our very first product offering when we first opened up in 1984. After that, we grew to offer tile from more than 200 manufacturers, but we never stopped loving hand painted Mexican tile. One of our most popular products is Talavera tile. Using lively Talavera tile all over the inside and outside of your property was an important status symbol in Mexico, and this style of hand painted tile continues to grace many buildings there. You can use this hand-painted tile Santa Monica CA for:
- Shower stalls
- Tub surrounds
- Countertops
- Backsplashes
- Floors
- Walls
- Fireplaces

Benefits of Hand Painted Tile
Like factory tile, hand painted tile Santa Monica CA offers a cool, easy-to-clean, durable surface that will last longer than carpet and wear better than wood. Because this tile is hand painted, it gives a human touch to large expanses of tile and prevents it from looking institutional or cold.
Designing with Hand Painted Tile
The applications for hand painted Talavera tile are nearly endless. You can use single Talavera tiles to create a checkerboard pattern on a wall or floor, or use a group of them to mimic the look of an area rug or a mural. We carry the traditional blue and while Talavera tiles, as well as hand painted tiles featuring other colors like red, green, yellow, and black. Our hand painted tile Santa Monica CA also includes an ample selection of traditional and contemporary motifs.
