Assyrian Dublin, Denim and Old London on White

Assyrian Dublin, Denim and Old London on White Ceramic Tiles - 151 x 151mm

Drawing inspiration from the ancient civilisation that gave us mathematics, astronomy, and the world's first libraries, our Assyrian tile design brings 3,000 years of artistic heritage into contemporary interiors. This sophisticated pattern features an open, circular motif that creates endless visual flow when laid—elegant, timeless, and surprisingly versatile. Part of our exclusive Odyssey collection, these 151 x 151mm tiles showcase a refined Dublin, Denim and Old London on White colourway that bridges classical and contemporary design. Each tile begins its journey in our Devon studio, where master craftsmen hand-fashion the original patterns before they're captured on premium ceramic, ensuring every piece carries authentic artisanal character.

Why Choose Assyrian Dublin Tiles?

The Assyrian pattern pays tribute to the remarkable artistic achievements of ancient Mesopotamia, where circular motifs symbolised celestial movements, eternal cycles, and divine perfection. Our interpretation captures the sophisticated geometry found in palace reliefs from Nineveh and Babylon, where open circular patterns created visual rhythm across vast palace walls. The specific combination of Dublin blue, denim tones, and Old London grey on pristine white creates a palette that's both historically grounded and thoroughly modern—reminiscent of Delftware traditions while maintaining contemporary appeal.

What distinguishes our Assyrian tiles is the thoughtful colour story. Dublin blue brings depth and sophistication, denim adds casual elegance, while Old London grey provides subtle definition against the white ground. This carefully curated palette works brilliantly in both period properties and modern homes. The open circular pattern creates movement without overwhelming, allowing the eye to travel smoothly across tiled surfaces. At 151 x 151mm, these tiles offer slightly more coverage than standard 15cm formats while maintaining comfortable handling and installation proportions.

The handcrafted origin in our Devon studio ensures no mass-produced uniformity—subtle variations in the hand-fashioned process create tiles with genuine character and soul. This artisanal approach, combined with modern ceramic and porcelain technology, delivers tiles that honour ancient traditions while meeting contemporary performance standards.

Perfect Spaces for Assyrian Dublin Tiles

Traditional & Modern Kitchens

Transform your kitchen with the timeless elegance of Assyrian patterns. The Dublin, Denim and Old London colourway creates sophisticated splashbacks that complement both Shaker-style cabinetry and sleek modern units. The open circular design adds visual interest without competing with other kitchen elements. Use as full splashbacks for dramatic impact, or create defined panels behind range cookers. The blue and grey tones work beautifully with stainless steel appliances, brass hardware, or matt black fixtures. For more inspiration, explore our kitchen splashback tile ideas.

Bathroom Sanctuaries

Create a serene spa-like atmosphere with Assyrian tiles adorning bathroom walls. The circular patterns evoke water ripples and movement, perfect for shower enclosures where the interplay of pattern and water creates dynamic visual effects. The blue palette naturally suits bathroom environments, evoking both sky and sea. Consider floor-to-ceiling installation in shower areas, or use as feature walls behind freestanding baths. The 151 x 151mm format provides good coverage without overwhelming smaller bathrooms. Browse our mosaic tiles collection for coordinating accents.

Hallways & Entrance Vestibules

Make a memorable first impression with Assyrian tiles in entrance areas. The open circular pattern creates visual flow that naturally guides visitors into your home. The Dublin and denim blues paired with Old London grey create a sophisticated yet welcoming palette. Use on floors (porcelain version recommended) to create hardwearing entrance 'rugs', or as wall features in narrow hallways where the pattern adds width perception. Consider combining with our Victorian floor tile patterns for authentic period charm.

Utility Rooms & Boot Rooms

Bring unexpected elegance to hardworking spaces. The durable glazed surface handles the demands of utility areas while the sophisticated pattern elevates these often-overlooked rooms. The blue and grey palette hides everyday marks while maintaining style. Perfect for creating cheerful laundry spaces or smart boot rooms that transition beautifully between garden and home. For heavy-traffic areas, explore our outdoor porcelain tiles.

Dining Rooms & Living Areas

Create stunning feature walls or decorative panels that become talking points. The Assyrian pattern's historical significance provides fascinating dinner conversation, while the refined colourway ensures it never overwhelms. Frame sections as artwork, create chimney breast features, or use as decorative dados. The circular motifs complement both traditional and contemporary furnishings.

Commercial Applications

Perfect for boutique hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces seeking authentic historical character with contemporary appeal.

Installation & Care

Installation Requirements

• Interior Walls: Suitable for all interior wall applications
• Interior Floors: Ceramic for light traffic; porcelain for high-traffic areas
• Wet Areas: Both versions suitable with proper waterproofing
• Professional installation recommended for pattern alignment
• White adhesive essential to maintain colour clarity
• 2-3mm grout joints for optimal pattern flow
• Order 10-15% extra for cuts and pattern matching
• Dry-lay before fixing to ensure pattern placement
• Consider focal points when planning layout

Pattern Layout Considerations

The open circular nature of Assyrian patterns creates natural flow but requires careful planning. Start from the visual centre of your space, ensuring pattern symmetry at edges. The circular motifs should align to create continuous movement. Consider using border tiles to frame installations cleanly. For complex layouts, our team can provide detailed pattern plans.

Easy Maintenance

The glazed surface resists staining and requires minimal maintenance. Daily cleaning with a damp microfibre cloth keeps tiles pristine. For deeper cleaning, use pH-neutral tile cleaners. The sealed surface doesn't require additional sealing. In bathrooms, regular cleaning prevents limescale buildup on the blue and grey decorative elements.

Grout Selection

• White: Traditional choice, brightens overall appearance, authentic to Delft styling
• Light Grey: Softens pattern definition, contemporary feel, coordinates with Old London tones
• Pale Blue: Creates seamless pattern flow, tiles read as unified surface
• Charcoal: Modern dramatic contrast, emphasises geometric structure

Cutting & Handling The 151 x 151mm format handles easily while providing good coverage. Standard tile cutters work for straight cuts; use wet saw for curves around fixtures. The handcrafted nature means slight variations add character. Handle carefully to protect the glazed decorative surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the circular pattern work at edges and corners?

The open circular design is surprisingly forgiving at edges. We recommend using border tiles or plain tiles to frame patterned areas cleanly. Our design team can provide layout drawings showing optimal pattern placement for your specific space. The circular motifs can be cut without losing the overall pattern integrity.

What's the difference between Dublin, Denim, and Old London colours?

Dublin blue is the deepest tone—a rich, sophisticated blue. Denim provides mid-tone blue with slight grey undertones for casual elegance. Old London is a soft grey-blue that adds subtle definition. Together on white, they create depth and movement within each tile while maintaining overall harmony.

Can these tiles work in small spaces?

Absolutely! The open circular pattern actually helps small spaces feel larger by creating visual flow. The key is using the pattern strategically—perhaps on a single feature wall or as a splashback rather than overwhelming the entire space. The blue and white palette naturally creates a sense of spaciousness. Explore our small tiles collection for alternatives.

Do you recommend specific border tiles?

Plain blue or white borders create classic frames. For authentic Victorian style, consider rope or egg-and-dart moulding borders. Simple pencil borders in coordinating blues or greys provide subtle definition. Our team can suggest specific border tiles from our range that complement the Assyrian pattern perfectly.

How do these compare to original Delft tiles?

While inspired by similar aesthetic traditions, our Assyrian tiles offer modern durability with historical charm. The handcrafted process in Devon creates authentic character, while modern ceramic/porcelain bodies ensure superior performance compared to antique tiles. The colourway evokes Delftware while the pattern draws from older Assyrian sources.

Can I use these outdoors?

The porcelain version may suit covered outdoor areas in mild climates—check specific product specifications. For fully exposed areas, we recommend our dedicated outdoor porcelain tiles. The ceramic version is interior-use only.
