Handmade Spanish Clay Floor Tiles

Today I thought I'd share with you the different floor designs used in our home indoors and out. The floors are handmade Spanish clay tile. The dark large squares outside are handmade volcanic rock (characteristic of the Canary Islands) used for the stairs, around the pool and pathway.

OUTDOOR DESIGNS:

Outside in the garden we have a fantastic workshop, that you can see in this picture, and on the left is our laundry room.

In the bbq area there is a small bath with shower.

INDOOR DESIGNS:

All the rooms have borders…the larger the room… the larger the border and design. Since our large sliding glass windows open the house up completely (sliding into the walls), the result is a harmonious blend of the floors indoors and out.
