New Year, Clean Slate: Cheeky Delft Tiles with a Twist by Petra Palumbo

January 2, 2023

As many of us welcome in 2023 with a January deep clean, we’re smitten by modern twists on delft tiles from Scotland-based Petra Palumbo. In lieu of traditional blue florals and ships on the sea, these modern versions are decidedly more domestic. For example:

the tiles come in crimson, manganese, sepia, and green as well as the tradition 17
