I had originally looked at Motawi art tiles for our kitchen backsplash, but they are way out of our price range. These tiles were just as beautiful and far more affordable.

As a kitchen designer, I have ordered custom glazed tiles from Clay Squared for a few kitchen projects. My clients have been extremely satisfied with the tile in their kitchens. Josh has given us excellent customer service and we always receive products as scheduled.
