Ceramic Tile Design Ideas — Stair Risers

The Cadiz 4"x 4" Spanish tile is used for decorative for a Shower Bench. To further complement the single row of Cadiz near the top of the shower stall, this shower bench was tiled with the same decorative pieces.The contrasting bench helps to provide a break in the blue shower walls and floor.

Alternating different tiles between patio risers, as shown here with Spanish Valencia and Spanish Cadiz, makes for a beautiful entry way. A single row of decorative tiles as risers for patio steps is a great way to bring design outdoors.  The tiles can coordinate with the color and style of your house or can be a prelude to the decor inside your home.

To create visual interest with each step, the owners of this residence decided upon our Spanish Caceres ceramic tile series.  Installed on the diagonal, it definitely adds a special and much-needed design element. The white Spanish Caceres with various shades of blue looks exceptional set against the larger, terracotta colored tiles.  For the patio risers, Spanish Valencia and Spanish Cadiz were alternated between steps. Our hand-painted Spanish ceramic tile designs include borders, corners, large decorative tiles and accent dots. These versatile collections, with their stunning colors, create a timeless look that blend well with hand-painted Spanish Field Ceramic Tile. Consider...

Spanish Lugo 3 "x 6" Spanish tile is a simple, yet beautiful leaf pattern of the Iberica Lugo creates a timeless look with subtle, Spanish style. To add appeal, the tiles within the border were placed on the diagonal and four 3"x3" Lugo tiles were grouped together to produce diamond accents along the length of the bar.

The Burgos 6"x 6" Spanish tile (double border) is the focal point when paired with lighter willow-green field tiles.   The brushed field tile works well with hand-painted decorative tiles because different color values held in both tiles.This makes a "wainscoting" for a bathroom.  Simplify the design by removing the cornice or rope for a kitchen backsplash.
