Core Collection by Original Style Offers a Classic American Look for the Kitchen and Bath
Why reinvent the wheel? The subway tile is such a well-loved American classic that the distinguished tile designers of Original Style were inspired to base their whole Core Collection around it.

Core is a gorgeous and streamlined offering by Original Style’s renowned English tilemakers that was designed specifically for the American marketplace. The subway – or brick shape – is the heart of the series, coming in three different sized bricks, all with bevel options. Three moldings provide design flexibility. Four colors keep it simple, plus one crackle finish. That’s it! Core is all you need for a timeless look in your bathroom, kitchen, laundry or mudroom.

In design, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.
Original Style went back to basics when creating this series and asked one simple question – what are the key elements to consider when choosing tiles for your bathroom and kitchen? Here’s what they came up with:
- a neutral, coordinating color palette
- a carefully selected number of complementing pieces, including porcelain floor mosaics
- make choosing a pleasure, not a dilemma
- quality with a competitive price structure

Core offers four colors, all appealing neutrals that work well with the coordinating floor mosaics and other materials like natural stone.
