Taking the inside out

At Claybrook we have some gorgeous outdoor porcelain tiling ranges, from terrazzo style to concrete effect, with collections that offer both an indoor and outdoor tile offer for those seeking to create a seamless look that stretches out from the interior.

New Shapes and New Shades

Our passion for introducing new ranges is a direct result of our love for designing spaces that feel fresh and decorative.

Psst… picking porcelain?

At Claybrook we have some truly lovely patterns and shapes but none so practical or pretty as those we offer in porcelain; the perfect combination of utility and style.

Paint the town... Coral?

Colour, like art, can be a very subjective business. We are each attracted to shades for myriad reasons. Sometimes a colour can trigger memories from childhood or a lovely vacation, with a corresponding emotional response. Like smell, some hues can take you right back to a moment in time.

Design Stars of the Silver Screen*

Many of us enjoy movies not just for the screenplay but because of the interiors shot as part of the drama. These spaces can form a key part in creating not only the setting but the mood for a film.
