Fired Earth

I came to Fired Earth looking for paint samples and bathroom tiles. This shop is expensive! However they have some really beautiful tiles here. I ended up going with some cheap as cheap tiles from a diy store and bought some tiles from Fired Earth to add character and accent. The tiles were about 12 quid each so I can’t imagine how expensive it would be to tile everything from here.
We ordered the tiles and had to wait to have them delivered which was a bit frustrating as we already had someone in working on the bathroom, but I guess that was also our own fault for not giving enough lead time. Also while the staff were lovely and friendly, I felt a little bit condescended to because we weren’t planning on buying all our tiles from there.
However the tiles themselves are amazing, we might have tiled our whole bathroom for the price of a few tiles but those accent tiles really make the room.

Have you ever picked up and flicked through a Fox and Hounds or Country Living magazine in the doctor’s? Ever seen their lovely overly homely homes and wonder how they achieved that with some tins of Dulux from B’n’Q?
Well they didn’t. Fired Earth is the B’n’Q in high society and it is here where those who have a few more coins in their pocket come to get their DIY gear. Everything from pots of paint to ceramic tiling accessories — it’s all here. As mentioned this stuff really is the highest quality, so at least the extra money is paying for an extra something.
A very snazzy place indeed.

Fired Earth, just off the main drag of Whiteladies road and next to the giant purple cocktail bar that is Sasparilla, is rather more sophisticated in it’s décor. Specialising in those glossy tiles that you find in country kitchens behind the Agar, in the loo, or underfoot in the larder, they have a massive range to match most budgets.
They are definitely something quite original, set apart from the usual B&Q or Homebase and you can definitely find something that is just right for your home. They’re also very environmentally conscious, ensuring their products are locally sourced.
