4×4 ceramic tile in 33 colors from Nemo Tile
Ever vigilant to identify more resources to update your mid-century bathrooms and kitchens, here is another line of 4″x4″ ceramic tiles, in 33 colors. Nemo Tile is a New York-based company that should be available through decent-sized tile distributors. These tiles also come in 2″x2″ size, good the more *modern* your house gets. There are 3″x6″ subway tiles, too, appropriate for pre-war homes.
These tiles sound like they have a bulkier “artisan” feel, the website says: “Claypads ceramic tiles feature a unique soft cushioned edge and hand sprayed shade variations.” To be sure, I’ve seen mid-century tile that has a more built-up feel — which is especially visible on the bullnose. A lot of the older tile was thicker. I tend to think that there were lots of regional manufacturers – so, lots of variations in thicknesses, not to mention color. Also take a look at the liner tiles that go with this series — there are some beautiful ones. Note: I don’t think this stuff is cheap.
Finally, the color selection has a contemporary — as in 2010 — feel to me. While it might not be right for homeowners doing exact period restorations, it would be great for those looking to bridge the old and the new. I’m love love lovin’ the oranges and rusts, for example. Oh pooh, if only I had eight houses! Link: Nemo Tile Claypads Series.

Thank you! Thank you! We just found out last week that we have to replace the shower pan in our guest bath, which means tearing out the beautiful cinnamon colored tile that complements so well with our pink fixtures. We have been looking all over for a replacement and there are several from Nemo that look promising! Thank you!
I am so sad! I just exchanged about a billion emails with Jenine at Nemo Tile. She said the manufacturer of the Claypads Series has discontinued the whole line! Oh no! I need that Iron Ore color. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I’m sending a sample of our existing tile to BW Tile in CA, but can’t think of anything else.
Would it be possible to obtain one tile since we don’t know if the color would match. We are looking for the cinnamon color. Awaiting your reply, thank you.
Casey – we don’t sell here, we just showcase potential retailers for you to reach out for. goog luck.
