Outdoor living: Fresh, alfresco living inspiration, from the team at Marlborough Tiles
MT Figgins Lane Square - Savernake Collection

There are few things so gloriously invigorating as taking a shower under the open sky, feeling the sunshine and the cool breeze on your skin.

It used to be that alfresco showers were reserved for holidays in warmer climes, but in recent years, at home in England, we have started to embrace outdoor living – expanding the comforts of the home into our exterior spaces. Increasingly, we seek to design these spaces with the same creativity and attention to detail as their indoor counterparts.

Today, we are sharing a set of images from a shoot that encapsulates the concept of outdoor living. We hope these images will be useful to support your editorial for SS 2024.

The images feature a rustic, open-air shower on the banks of the River Kennet, at the edge of Savernake Forest, where Marlborough Tiles was founded, and where our factory has been located for more than 87 years. The perfect spot for a post wild swim shower, followed by a picnic in the elements. 

The shower, rigged with copper fittings, features handmade inky blue-grey square wall tiles in Figgins Lane, from our Savernake collection, finished with silver grey grout.

About Marlborough Tiles

At Marlborough Tiles, we transform humble objects into works of art. Think of wall and floor tiles and you’re likely to imagine functional rectangles in busy areas like bathrooms, kitchens and halls. But for us a tile is where science meets art. Each one represents the sum total of experimentation, learning, technique and passion passed down for generations.


Founded in 1936 by Rosalind Packard and Sylvia Ord, Marlborough Tiles is a third-generation, family-owned English manufacturer of handcrafted wall tiles. 


Nearly 90 years later, we remains true to our founding vision, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design. Producing both glazed and hand painted tiles in our Wiltshire studio, we offers collections that are timeless, versatile, and individually bespoke.  


Marlborough Tiles will celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2026, marking almost a century of dedication to artistry and design excellence.
