#031 Hand-Painted Tiles

Business overview

Homeowners who want a unique look for their house and appreciate creativity and artistic details frequently add custom, hand-painted tiles to their home décor. These tiles transform any nondescript area into a designer’s delight. Most hand-painted tiles are customized based on the homeowner’s specifications, so their color and design integrate well with the house’s overall look. If you are creative and enjoy working in this medium, you may have your own specific style or offer a number of different designs, depending on the customer’s needs. You may also be asked to reproduce an image or theme on the tile, rather than creating your own design. Or, it may be necessary to present the client with several different possibilities from which they can choose the final tiles. It may be that individual tiles come together to make a larger image. You will want to consult with the client to determine a style that will work best with their home’s décor. The client should approve all colors and designs before you begin production. To determine what to charge for your artwork, check the prices of other established online tile-painting businesses.

Skills needed

In addition to artistic creativity, you should be able to see the larger picture. The tiles will look much different one-by-one as you are painting them than when applied to an area, such as a patio table.

Tips

Stay in touch with trends in home décor in order to provide your customers with the product they are looking for. Carefully check the quality of the tile before you buy in them in bulk from a wholesaler.
