Original Style is excited to announce Cottage Garden Blue as their Tile of the Year 2025 

Original Style, Britain’s largest tile manufacturer, is proud to unveil its Tile of the Year 2025: Cottage Garden Blue. Combining whimsical florals and vintage blue tones with their signature glossy glaze, Cottage Garden Blue captures the elegance of British craftsmanship with a timeless, trend-setting flair.

For the past 8 years, Original Style has been selecting one standout design to represent the year’s must-have tile, and for 2025, Cottage Garden Blue was chosen for its balance of classic charm and enduring style. With its delicate floral motifs and soothing shades of blue and white, this tile perfectly blends the past with the present, making it a versatile choice for any home.

"Cottage Garden Blue is a modern homage to classic bone china designs, influenced by English countryside blooms and heritage craftsmanship,” says Becca Keenan, New Products Designer at Original Style.

“Its timeless blue and white palette offers a fresh take on the Chinoiserie trend, making it a captivating design that’s equally modern and classic.”

Made in Britain

Designed and manufactured in Britain, this exquisite tile design was originally hand painted to capture the essence of blooming gardens while boasting the best of tile craftsmanship.

Wonderfully original, Cottage Garden Blue spans across an 18-tile set in a brick bond formation creating an unbounded pattern repeat for versatility and design flair. Due to the intricacies, it’s incredibly rare to see a pattern repeat across a brick bond layout and the final result is a true testament to Original Style’s skilled designers and artisans.

Inspired by a visit to a walled garden, Becca Keenan remarks, “I wanted to create a tile design that would reflect the natural beauty and intricacy of blooming florals. The blue tones are particularly enchanting, evoking a sense of whimsy and nostalgia that’s very much on-trend for 2025.”
