Arc Floor Willow 15 x 15cm - Hand-Stencilled Artisan Tiles in Sophisticated Grey-Green

Experience the perfect marriage of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design with our Arc Floor Willow tiles, where individual hand-stencilling creates organic patterns that bring artisanal soul to modern interiors. Each 15 x 15cm tile is meticulously hand-stencilled, resulting in subtle variations that celebrate the beauty of human craft—no two tiles are identical, yet all harmonise perfectly. The sophisticated willow colourway—a nuanced grey-green that shifts between sage and stone—provides versatile neutrality with natural warmth. The matt finish enhances the handcrafted character while offering practical benefits for floor applications, creating surfaces that feel as beautiful as they look. Part of our acclaimed Arc collection, these tiles transition seamlessly from wall to floor, offering infinite creative possibilities for unique, personalised spaces.

Why Choose Arc Floor Willow Tiles?

The Arc Floor Willow represents a revolution in artisanal tile production, where traditional hand-stencilling techniques meet contemporary durability requirements. Unlike mass-produced tiles with mechanical perfection or expensive handmade tiles with inconsistent quality, Arc tiles achieve the perfect balance—genuine hand-crafted character with reliable performance. Each tile passes through skilled hands where stencils are individually applied, creating organic texture and subtle pattern variations that bring walls and floors to life with authentic human touch.

What distinguishes Arc Floor Willow is the sophisticated willow colourway—a chameleon shade that reads as soft green in natural light, gentle grey in artificial light, and sage in candlelight. This versatility makes it the perfect "new neutral," offering more character than beige while maintaining broader compatibility than pure green or grey. The hand-stencilling process creates dimensional patterns where the willow colour plays at different intensities, producing subtle movement across surfaces that prevents the flatness of solid colour tiles while avoiding the busyness of heavily patterned designs.

The 15 x 15cm format strikes an ideal balance—large enough for efficient coverage yet intimate enough to showcase the hand-stencilled detail. The matt finish provides practical slip resistance for floor applications while maintaining the tactile appeal that makes you want to touch the surface. The carefully formulated body ensures these artisanal tiles meet modern performance standards for light domestic foot traffic, making them suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and feature areas where beauty and functionality must coexist.

Artisan Kitchen Floors

Transform kitchen floors into galleries of craftsmanship where Arc Floor Willow tiles create surfaces that ground culinary spaces with organic sophistication. The willow tone provides the perfect foundation—neutral enough for changing décor yet characterful enough to anchor design schemes. The hand-stencilled patterns add visual interest that disguises daily wear while the matt finish provides practical grip for busy kitchens. Perfect for cottage kitchens where handcrafted tiles enhance rustic charm, modern kitchens seeking organic warmth, or open-plan spaces where floor continuity matters. The 15 x 15cm format creates pleasing rhythms underfoot while the willow colour complements both wood and painted cabinets. Use throughout for cohesive artisan floors, or create defined zones in larger kitchens. Browse our kitchen floor tiles for coordinating options.

Spa-Like Bathroom Sanctuaries

Perfect for shower floors where slip resistance matters, bathroom floors creating cohesive schemes with wall applications, or powder room floors making bold artisan statements. The individual hand-stencilling ensures each bathroom floor is genuinely unique. Use with matching Arc wall tiles for complete coordination, or mix with plain tiles for balanced interest.

Feature Wall Statements

The willow tone provides versatile backdrop for changing displays while the artisan quality adds value perception. The durability handles light commercial traffic while maintaining handcrafted appearance. Use throughout smaller spaces for complete artisan atmosphere, or as accent zones in larger venues. The unique hand-stencilling becomes part of brand story, differentiating from chain competitors.

Transitional Hallways

Unite spaces with Arc Floor Willow tiles creating sophisticated flow between rooms. The versatile willow colour bridges different room palettes while the hand-stencilled pattern adds interest to transitional areas often neglected. Perfect for entrance halls setting artisan tone immediately, corridors connecting living spaces with consistent flooring, or stairway landings requiring durable beauty. The 15 x 15cm format suits narrow spaces without overwhelming while the matt finish ensures safe passage. The organic pattern disguises traffic wear better than plain tiles. Use throughout ground floors for seamless flow, or in specific transition zones maintaining distinct room identities.

Garden Room Connections

Bridge interior and exterior where Arc Floor Willow tiles create natural transitions between home and garden. The willow colour echoes outdoor foliage while maintaining interior sophistication. Perfect for conservatories where tiles must work with both plants and furniture, covered patios extending indoor comfort outside, or boot rooms requiring practical yet beautiful flooring. The matt finish handles outdoor dirt tracked inside while the hand-stencilled pattern disguises marks between cleanings. The grey-green tone harmonises with both architectural materials and natural elements. Use as continuation from interior spaces, or as distinct garden room identity celebrating the indoor-outdoor connection.

  • Pattern Consideration: Blend tiles from multiple boxes

Hand-Stencilled Character

Arc Floor Willow tiles celebrate handcrafted variation—each tile shows subtle differences in pattern intensity and placement. This is intentional, creating organic surfaces impossible with mass production. Before installation, dry-lay tiles from multiple boxes to ensure pleasing distribution of variations. Some tiles may show stronger stencilling, others softer—blend throughout installation for balanced effect. The willow colour may vary slightly between batches due to artisan production. Order all tiles from single batch for consistency, including 10% extra for cuts and future repairs. Embrace variations as proof of authentic handcraft.

Matt Finish Installation

The matt finish requires different handling than glossy tiles. Matt surfaces show adhesive and grout residue more readily—clean as you work. Use high-quality adhesive ensuring full coverage—matt tiles show hollow spots through sound differences. Choose grout colour carefully as matt surfaces make grout lines more prominent. Consider slightly recessed grout lines emphasising handcrafted tile edges. The matt surface provides natural slip resistance but may show water marks initially—these diminish as tiles cure and seal naturally. Some installers apply matt sealers for additional protection in high-use areas.

Cutting & Pattern Matching

The 15 x 15cm format minimises cutting requirements but plan layout carefully. Hand-stencilled patterns mean each cut is unique—position cuts strategically. Use wet saws for cleanest cuts preserving pattern integrity. The willow colour makes cut edges less noticeable than high-contrast patterns. For complex cuts, trace templates ensuring accuracy. Consider pattern flow when cutting—avoid cutting through focal pattern elements. Save offcuts for repairs as hand-stencilled patterns can't be exactly matched with new tiles. Professional cutting recommended for visible edges ensuring pattern continuity.

Floor Application Specifics

While suitable for light domestic traffic, proper installation ensures longevity. Use flexible adhesive accommodating slight floor movement. Ensure absolutely level substrate—variations telegraph through matt finish. Apply appropriate primer for substrate type. Consider uncoupling membranes in kitchens preventing crack transmission. Seal before grouting if installer recommends—matt surfaces can be porous. Use epoxy grout in wet areas for water resistance. Allow proper curing time before traffic. Consider entry mats protecting high-traffic zones. Regular maintenance preserves handcrafted beauty for decades.

Daily Maintenance

Matt finishes require specific care maintaining appearance. Sweep or vacuum regularly preventing grit abrading surface. Damp mop with pH-neutral cleaners—avoid harsh chemicals affecting matt texture. The willow colour hides dust but shows dark marks—clean spills promptly. Don't use wax-based products creating uneven sheen. Steam cleaning works well for deeper cleaning. In bathrooms, ensure good ventilation preventing mineral buildup. The hand-stencilled patterns disguise wear making maintenance forgiving. Many find matt tiles improve with age, developing attractive patina enhancing character.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What makes hand-stencilled tiles special compared to printed tiles?

Hand-stencilling creates authentic character impossible with mechanical printing. Each Arc tile passes through human hands where stencils are individually applied, creating subtle variations in pressure, position, and paint distribution. This produces organic texture where no two tiles are identical—like handwriting versus typing. Printed tiles repeat perfectly; hand-stencilled tiles harmonise while maintaining individuality. The process creates depth where colour pools and fades naturally. You can feel the texture difference—hand-stencilling has physical dimension. It's the difference between craft and manufacture, creating surfaces with soul that improve rather than deteriorate with age.

Can willow colour work with both warm and cool palettes?

Arc Floor Willow's sophisticated grey-green acts as a colour bridge, working with both warm and cool schemes. The grey undertones complement cool palettes—blues, purples, pure greys—while green notes harmonise with warm tones—beiges, browns, terracottas. In warm light, willow emphasises sage green; in cool light, stone grey dominates. This chameleon quality makes willow incredibly versatile. Many designers use willow specifically as a "neutral with character"—more interesting than beige, less committing than pure colour. It's nature's neutral, working with everything as outdoor greens complement all landscapes.

Are these tiles durable enough for kitchen floors?

Arc Floor Willow tiles are specifically rated for light domestic traffic including kitchen floors. The carefully formulated body withstands normal household use—foot traffic, dropped utensils, chair movement with felt pads. However, they're artisan tiles prioritising beauty alongside function. Use mats at high-wear areas like sinks. Lift rather than drag heavy appliances. The matt finish naturally provides slip resistance while the hand-stencilled pattern disguises wear. Many kitchens feature Arc floors for decades, developing attractive patina. Consider your lifestyle—busy family kitchens might position Arc tiles in dining zones with heavy-duty tiles at cooking areas.

How much variation should I expect between tiles?

Hand-stencilling creates intentional variation celebrating craft process. Expect differences in pattern intensity—some tiles show bold stencilling, others softer application. Colour may vary subtly within willow spectrum. Pattern placement shifts slightly tile to tile. Edge definition varies with stencil lift. These variations create organic surfaces distinguishing handcrafted from mass-produced. When installed, variations blend into harmonious whole—like handwoven textiles. We recommend ordering 10% extra to select preferred variation distribution. View samples understanding they represent range, not exact matches. Embrace variation as authentic craft signature.

Can I mix Arc Willow with other Arc colours?

Absolutely! The Arc collection is designed for creative mixing. Combine Willow with other colours creating custom patterns—checkerboards, stripes, random mixes. The consistent 15 x 15cm format ensures seamless integration while hand-stencilling maintains harmony across colours. Popular combinations include Willow with white for subtle contrast, charcoal for sophisticated drama, or blue for coastal themes. Many designers create gradient effects transitioning between colours. The hand-stencilled variation prevents mechanical repetition even in geometric patterns. Order samples of multiple colours to test combinations. It's personalisation through colour while maintaining artisan character.

Do matt tiles show dirt more than glossy tiles?

Matt tiles show different dirt than glossy tiles. Matt surfaces hide water spots, fingerprints, and soap scum better than gloss. However, they can show dust and dark marks more readily. The Arc Willow colour helps—grey-green disguises everyday dirt better than pure white or black. The hand-stencilled pattern further camouflages marks between cleanings. Regular light maintenance keeps matt tiles looking better than occasional deep cleaning. Many prefer matt for practicality—no constant wiping for fingerprints. The key is appropriate cleaning products maintaining matt texture without buildup. Most users find matt tiles more forgiving for real-life living.
