DESIGN YOUR OWN TILE IN CANVA OR PHOTOSHOP - EASY, FUN AND PERFECTLY STRAIGHT

A quote, a name, or a cheeky inside joke — everything looks better when printed on real ceramic. And let’s be honest: designing it yourself just hits differently. So, roll up your sleeves (or don’t), open Canva or Photoshop, and create your very own tile design in minutes.


Step 1 – Set up your canvas

Standard tile size: 150 × 150 mm (≈ 6 × 6 inches). Create a new document in Canva or Photoshop at 160 × 160 mm. Leave bleed around the edges to keep your text safely inside.


💡 Pro tip: add a faint guide or border at 150 x 150 mm so you can see where your “safe zone” is.

Step 2 – Pick your vibe

Are you feeling classic Delft blue, minimal black-and-white, or color-pop modern?Start by setting the mood: background color, texture, and style.

Works well:

  • soft beige, off-white, or light gray backgrounds

  • gentle paper or ceramic textures

  • plenty of white space (tiles like to breathe)


Step 3 – Add your text

Now for the fun part: your message!Think:

  • A funny quote (“Soft is the new strong.”)

  • A personal saying (“Who tiles, stays.”)

  • Or something simple like a name + date

Choose a readable font.Good Canva options: Playfair Display, Montserrat, or Raleway — all tile-friendly.Have your own font? Upload it, or send me a sample — I’ll match it perfectly on ceramic.


Step 4 – Export your design

Happy with the result? Download it as:

  • PDF (Print) or

  • PNG 300 dpi with transparent background


Make sure it’s in CMYK mode for true-to-life colors when printed.


Step 5 – Send it in (and I’ll turn it into the real deal)

You can print it yourself, sure — but it really comes alive on actual ceramic. At Babett.Studio, we use a permanent sublimation process:no stickers, no fading, just a razor-sharp print that stays beautiful for years.


Send your file or idea, and I’ll make sure it lands on your doorstep within a few days.
