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.
