Seconds - Arc Citrus sur Cornish

The slight paint flecks scattered across the tiles add a really nice handcrafted feel to my kitchen wall. Each box of 27 pieces has its own little quirks, which makes the whole installation look more organic. For the price, I'm thrilled with the character these 13x13cm tiles bring.

The chips and paint flecks actually give each tile its own little story, and the citrus tint on the Cornish base is way more vivid in person than I expected from the photos. I’ve already got them up on my kitchen backsplash and the uneven edges just make the whole thing feel handcrafted.

I was a bit worried about buying seconds, but the imperfections give each tile a unique handmade feel that I actually prefer. The smaller 13x13cm size was perfect for a backsplash accent, and having four boxes gave me plenty to work with.
