Decor8 Tiles Featured in ELLE Decoration UK
Newport House | Designed by Jono Fleming + Ryan Thomas
We’re in ELLE! ✨
It’s always a thrill to see our tiles in beautiful homes — but seeing them in the pages of ELLE Decoration UK? That's something special. Featured in the April issue, the Newport House bathroom designed by the incredible duo @jono.fleming and @ryanthmas is a true masterclass in colour, shape, and personality — and we’re proud to have played a part.

A Coastal Bathroom with Character
This family bathroom is everything we love: playful yet practical, nostalgic yet modern, and dripping in coastal charm. From the scalloped edges to the vintage-inspired touches, the space oozes relaxed sophistication — anchored by our Clay Ocean Gloss and Clay Chalk Matt tiles.
These 125 x 125mm square tiles, with their handmade aesthetic and high glaze variation, bring richness and rhythm to the walls. The contrast between the soft matte chalk and the glossy ocean hues creates a balance of texture and tonality that feels lived-in, sun-kissed, and quietly luxe.
Featured Products
- ITEM 15221 – Clay Chalk Matt Square Tile (125 x 125 x 11.5mm)
- ITEM 15245 – Clay Ocean Gloss Square Tile (125 x 125 x 11.5mm)
Both tiles are part of our Clay Collection — a range designed to celebrate subtle irregularities, tonal shifts, and that ever-coveted handmade look.
High Variation, High Impact
No two tiles are quite the same — and that’s the point. The Clay Collection embraces a high level of glaze variation, delivering depth, movement, and visual interest that feels organic and one-of-a-kind.
In this space, the Clay Ocean Gloss tile shimmers and shifts depending on the angle of the light, while Clay Chalk Matt offers a grounding softness that pairs beautifully with the retro palette and curved lines of the design.
Retro Meets Riviera
Described by Jono Fleming as part of his "Riviera Revival", the Newport House bathroom channels European coastal energy with a distinctly Australian twist. The result is a retreat that feels warm, welcoming, and totally personal.
“We wanted to create something fresh and fun, while still practical for a young family,” says Jono. “The tiles bring in so much character — the glaze, the texture, the colour. They completely transformed the space.”
As Seen In ELLE
We're chuffed, thrilled, and slightly emotional about this one. Huge thanks to @jono.fleming for trusting us with his vision, and to @elledecorationuk for featuring this dream space. Projects like this are why we do what we do — and we’re so proud to be part of the journey.
