For our latest lookbook, we have collected 10 apartments in Spain that have been brought to life using decorative tiles, from preserved 20th-century features to speckled contemporary terrazzo grout.
Known for its abundance of colourful tiles, Spain has many period apartments with original details including ornate archways and eclectic tiling.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks featuring statement carpets, pop-up shops and homes with sliding doors.
