MINNEAPOLIS, May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tile Shop
(NASDAQ:TTS), a specialty retailer of natural stone and man-made
tiles, today announced it has partnered with Laura Ashley, the
British lifestyle company and one of the world's leading brands, to
become the exclusive retailer for the Laura Ashley tile and
splashback collection in the U.S. market.
Bringing modern English design to the kitchen, bathroom,
mudroom, and more, the Laura Ashley line at The Tile Shop is the
newest addition to the ever-expanding Laura Ashley fashion and home
furnishings collections.
The oversized, tempered glass splashbacks, a very British term,
are expertly designed to fit the space between stovetops and
cabinetry in the kitchen as well as behind the sink. The
splashbacks feature statement prints taken directly from the Laura
Ashley archives in a variety of colors, which can be styled as a
design centerpiece or made to blend with existing décor.
Complementary ceramic floor and wall tiles in graphic Laura Ashley
heritage prints offer a multitude of designs that bring the entire
look together with ease.
Imported from Great Britain and
manufactured by UK tile specialist British Ceramic Tile, the Laura
Ashley tiles and splashbacks are now available for order at any of
The Tile Shop's 140 stores and online at tileshop.com.
"We are thrilled to partner with Laura Ashley to offer this
exclusive new collection, which introduces familiar floral patterns
and muted tones synonymous with the Laura Ashley brand to customers
who are seeking simplicity and elegance," said Kevin McDaniel, vice president of merchandising,
The Tile Shop.

changing tastes and preferences. These are the only large-format
glass accents of their kind available on the market
today."
