Valverde Triangle

The triangular shape made the layout far easier than I expected, and the glazed finish cleans up nicely even after muddy boots. Definitely gives the entryway that handcrafted feel I was going for.

I was nervous about mixing geometric tiles, but the glazed surface on these makes cleaning a breeze and the finish is just even enough to feel intentional. Laid them in a diamond pattern for the backsplash and the way the light catches the glaze changes throughout the day.

Triangular tiles are always tricky to lay, but this glazed cotto has a reassuring, solid heft that made cutting and spacing easier than I feared. The finish has a nice, even sheen that brightens the hallway without looking slick.
