Terracotta Tiles
An ode to the textural details for which Bert & May is known, we simply adore our terracotta because it’s honest. What you see is what you get — real clay that’s local to the workshop, shaped by hand, fired by flame, and individually finished with time and the meticulous care of our artisans. It’s got that warmth you can feel and a softness that creates an instantly inviting space.
No two tiles are identical and each one is special. Tiny imperfections created by the mould, a gentle curve at the edges, a shift in shade — these details tell the story of the maker’s process. It’s no wonder we love it so much.
SALE. Our Once-A-Year Sale is live. Up to 15% off all terracotta tiles.
Why choose terracotta tiles?
Instantly recognisable, terracotta has been used in architecture all over Europe and Asia for thousands of years. Meaning "cooked earth" in Italian, terracotta is made from baked clay and comes in a range of warm, rich browns that vary from red to yellow toned. It is extremely durable and adorns much of the warmer parts of Europe, giving it a strong association with hot, sunny days by the Mediterranean Sea.
Terrcotta tiles are a fantastic choice for homes as the clay is extremely flexible to work with so you can easily customise it to your needs. It is also naturally very strong and can be sealed to make it water-resistant, therefore, perfect for roofs, wall tiles, and floor tiles. Long-lasting and naturally pigmented, terracotta tiles are one of the best options for busy areas of the house as they will keep their integrity and require little maintenance.

How to pair handmade terracotta tiles
At Bert & May, we see terracotta as a core neutral as it’s so easy to live with and genuinely goes with everything. Thanks to its ‘unfinished finish’, it provides the perfect base to build on while its raw texture adds depth and intrigue to neutral interior schemes.
Contrast terracotta with refined marble tiles to get a sharp meeting of tones and textures that makes both materials pop. With its naturally warm undertone, we recommend pairing terracotta tiles with cool-toned patterns such as blue tiles or green tiles that will provide a striking focal point and highlight the beauty in both choices.
Visit our inspiration gallery to see more examples of how to use our stunning terracotta tiles in different spaces and how to pair our signature colours with creativity.
Using terracotta outdoors
From roofs to pathways to patios, terracotta is the classic choice for outdoor tiles and for good reason. Naturally strong and hard-wearing, terracotta is ideal for outside spaces that are exposed to the elements and can be strengthened with a sealant to make it waterproof.
As it is an organic material, terracotta brings a raw quality to outdoor spaces that complements the use of natural textures such as wood, stone, and greenery. Each handcrafted tile is full of individual tones, imperfections, and textures that come together to give a relaxed, artistic touch while not being too loud. Create an inviting space to socialise in your own oasis using terracotta zellige tiles.
