blue tiles

Ceramic bathroom pieces

Blue tiles are ceramic or stone pieces glazed or colored blue, used for flooring, walls, or decorative surfaces.

The phrase has no established figurative meaning in English—it simply describes tiles that are blue: The bathroom featured Portuguese blue tiles with intricate patterns.

Blue tiles appear frequently in Mediterranean, Islamic, and Dutch architectural traditions.
