Classic design never goes out of style. Vintage-style designs have their own following. In fact, classic styles are considered contemporary trends because they are widely adopted by today's generation. To adopt a classic-themed home, there are many ways you can do it. One of them is by using tiled floors that are synonymous with unique vintage patterns and motifs popular in the 1980s. One of the distinctive features of old Indonesian houses is the tiled floors with special motifs. One of them is the tile motif, which has recently gained international attention.

Tiles, known for their unique patterned floors, have a long history. Tile floors were first imported from Portugal and Spain, known as Azulejo. According to Kumparan, the history of one of the old tile companies in Indonesia is related to a tile and concrete floor manufacturer named Tegel & Beton Kunci on the island of Java. The factory was founded by Dutch citizens. This means that at that time, the influence of the Dutch colonial era on the flooring industry was strong.

Meanwhile, cement tiles quickly gained popularity after spreading to Yogyakarta and were produced on December 16, 1929. The factory began supplying tiles to historical buildings like the Yogyakarta Palace.

Unfortunately, the geopolitics of the time also influenced this industry for quite some time. Fortunately, tiles that had once declined in popularity are now back in demand and are still well-known.
