Design collaborations

Sims Hilditch

We are delighted to share two very special collections of hand painted tiles, created in collaboration with Sims Hilditch – one of the most influential and trusted interior design studios operating today. The studio shares our passion for British craftsmanship, attention to detail and timeless design.

Design Process

Introducing Ana

The Ana collection was inspired by a trip that Sims Hilditch Founder and Creative Director Emma Sims-Hilditch took with Marlborough Tiles Managing Director Jamie Robb to the Amalfi coast, a region with a rich ceramic heritage.

The tiles are painted in the traditional Majolica technique, whereby each brushstroke is painted by hand onto the raw glaze

The Ana Collection

The Ana collection features a timeless pattern in the Mediterranean style, available in five soft colours that are beautifully suited to the English home. The subtlety of the colours developed for this design means that the tiles can be used on the walls of a bathroom, kitchen, or even in more unusual spots such as around fireplaces and woodburning stoves, on window ledges and garden tables...

SHOP THE COLLECTION

A panel of Ana tiles in Powder Blue adds visual interest above the range cooker in this kitchen at the Sims Hilditch design studio. The patterned tiles are framed by plain tiles from the same collection.

This garden table has been creatively tiled in a chequerboard formation using hand painted Ana tiles in Thyme, with plain tiles from the same collection in a chequerboard arrangement.

Hand painted Ana tiles in Burnt Orange add a touch of romance to the flower room at Emma Sims-Hilditch's Wiltshire home.

The area above this range cooker is brought to life with two panels of hand painted tiles from our Ana collection in Charcoal, bordered with plain tiles from the same collection.

The surface of this washstand has been tiled with hand painted Ana tiles in Amber, inspired by the beauty of Capri, where decorative tiles cover every wall, every doorstep and floor.

The Ana collection features a refined and elegant hand painted design, inspired by the exquisite eighteenth and nineteenth century patterns seen on the tiles in Capri.

Ana is a timeless pattern in the Mediterranean style available in a choice of five soft, more muted colours that are beautifully suited to the English home.

The Emma collection

The Emma collection draws inspiration from delicate vintage floral wallpapers. Each tile is painted by hand, and features our signature crackle glaze – stained by hand for a charming, aged look.

The pattern is painted by hand onto the tile's raw glaze using the classic Majolica technique, and then individually signed by the artist who painted it.

It has been a pleasure to partner with Sims Hilditch. Our shared passion for British craftsmanship, attention to detail and timeless design has resulted in two very special collections."
