Your house, painted as a Delft tile.
The facade of your home, translated into authentic cobalt-blue brushstrokes — on real ceramic. A housewarming gift that doesn't wilt. A keepsake of the family home. A goodbye that lasts.
Free to design — only pay when you're happy.
Your facade, truly painted in — not just printed on top.
Upload one photo of the front facade. Our AI redraws the building in the same cobalt-blue lines as a 17th-century Delft tile — brick by brick, window by window. The address and date are painted into an elegant cartouche at the bottom.

How your house tile looks
Real tiles we've made for other homes — for inspiration. Works on terraced houses, canal homes, farmhouses, and everything in between.
Why a Delft Blue house tile?
Three reasons this gift outweighs yet another bottle of wine or orchid at the housewarming.
A house is more than bricks
The place where the kids grew up, where your parents lived for 40 years, where you got the first key. That house deserves more than a phone snapshot in a camera roll — it deserves a keepsake.
Fits any Dutch interior
Delft Blue sits on a dresser next to oak beams, and just as well in a minimalist loft. Not a style that goes out of fashion — it's been timeless for 400 years.
Real ceramic — not a print on MDF
Fired at 1080°C, just like the Delft tiles in the Rijksmuseum. No poster, no sticker, no picture on plywood. In 50 years it's still hanging there.
How it works — in 4 steps
- Step 01
Upload a photo of the facade
Taken straight on, in daylight, without cars or scaffolding in front. One photo is enough.
- Step 02
Type the address + the date
For example: "Hoofdstraat 12, Utrecht — 25 August 2026". Our AI paints that text into the tile in cobalt blue, in an elegant cartouche.
- Step 03
Choose style and size
Classic Delft Blue or full colour. 15×15 cm or 20×20 cm XL. See your preview live in the editor.
- Step 04
Order — we do the rest
We fire your tile within 24-48 hours and ship fast. Secure payment with iDEAL, Bancontact, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna.
What is Delft Blue, really?
A Delft Blue tile points back to a Dutch earthenware tradition stretching to the 17th century. At its peak (1640-1740), the city of Delft housed dozens of ceramic factories — around 33 at the height — producing tin-glazed earthenware with cobalt-oxide pigments: grey in the pot, vivid cobalt blue once fired at 1080°C.
Our house tiles bring that classic Delftware style into a modern key: your facade photo is translated by our AI into the same cobalt brushstrokes — brick by brick, window by window — then printed on real ceramic. No potter's wheel, but the same Dutch warmth that made the original so beloved.
Two sizes — both real ceramic
For a facade with lots of detail (windows, dormers, ornaments) we recommend 20×20 cm XL. Combine with a wooden tile holder for the dresser, or an invisible hook for the wall.
For which moments?
Housewarming / moving gift.
The perfect gift at a housewarming, or as a surprise for someone who just got the keys. More personal than a plant, and beautiful for years on the mantelpiece.
Saying goodbye to the family home.
When mom and dad move out after 40 years — this stays. Even after the box of Christmas decorations and the old window with the painted feet have been given away.
First home of your own.
For yourself — or for your partner — as a memento of the first home that was truly yours. A tile that 20 years from now still says: this is where it began.
Holiday home or "our place by the sea".
The cabin, the beach house, the cottage in the Lake District, the farmhouse in France. A tile of that one place where summers never end.
Business, café, or shop.
For the boss who ran the café for 25 years, for the shop closing after three generations, for the office where you spent your whole career. A leaving gift that actually means something.

Echt zo mooi!! Het tegeltje overtrof aan alle kanten mijn verwachting. Ik heb het cadeau gegeven en degene die het heeft gekregen was enorm verrast en is er erg blij mee.

Frequently asked questions about the house tile
A photo of the front facade taken straight on, in daylight, without cars, scaffolding, or people in front. The whole facade should be fully in frame, with the camera held level. A phone photo in landscape or square works fine — we accept JPG, PNG, and HEIC up to 25 MB.
Yes. For an apartment block, take a photo that shows the entire building. If you'd rather immortalise just your own floor, a photo of your balcony-with-window taken from across the street also looks beautiful.
Our AI does its best to look past obstacles, but for the cleanest result we recommend a photo without objects in front of the facade. Try the free preview first to see whether you like the outcome.
No. The address field is a suggestion — you can also enter something free-form like "Our home — since 1992", "Grandma and grandpa's house", or "Beach house Cape Cod". Anything that fits in an elegant cartouche works.
Absolutely. A build year ("Built in 1923"), a purchase date ("25 August 2026"), or open phrasing ("Since 1952") all work. Keep it short — up to ~40 characters per line reads best.
Yes. Besides Delft Blue, you can choose a full-colour photo tile. An original facade photo will be printed in razor-sharp detail on real ceramic. Many customers give a Delft Blue tile as a moving gift, then order a full-colour version later.
