ObjectHouse ScoreDesignCraftUsabilityDurabilityValue
Heath Ceramics Classic Field Tile

Heath Ceramics

The American hand-glazed field tile that designers reach for when color has to look alive — made in San Francisco since Edith Heath started cutting extruded clay in 1967, priced and behaving like the craft product it is.

Mutina Pico

Mutina

Bouroullec’s dotted porcelain that made Mutina a residential default — tactile mineral surface for serious floors and walls when slick digital stone is the wrong answer.

Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion

Farrow & Ball

The chalky, 2%-sheen finish that made Farrow & Ball famous still looks better than almost anything on a quiet wall, but it marks, can't be scrubbed, and touches up badly. Use it where nobody touches the walls, and specify Dead Flat everywhere else.
