EnglishWhat Is Alicia Tapp Designs and What Does It Offer?
Updated
Alicia Tapp Designs is a custom tile mural studio that transfers images onto tiles to create made-to-order murals for indoor and outdoor use. You can supply your own painting, photograph, or a child's artwork, or choose from hundreds of images in the studio's library. The service is aimed at residential homeowners, design professionals, architects, and artists.
What the service does
The core offer is image transfer onto tile. According to the site, Alicia Tapp Designs can transfer paintings, personal photographs, and vintage labels onto tumbled marble, ceramic, glass, or porcelain tiles. Each mural is custom and made-to-order rather than a stocked product.
Two sourcing paths are available:
- Use the studio's image library — the site states there are hundreds of images to choose from, spanning themes and techniques from Tuscany landscapes to Renaissance and spiritual paintings, and showcasing contemporary and award-winning artists and photographers.
- Supply your own image — a favorite painting, a personal photo, or your child's artwork can be turned into a mural.
Mosaic murals are also offered, hand-cut and made-to-order, with a separate site (Mosaics Your Way) covering the full mosaic range.
Where murals can be installed
The site lists both indoor and outdoor applications, for commercial or residential projects:
- Floors
- Walls
- Countertops
- Pools and spas
- Kitchen backsplash
- Bathroom and shower backsplash
Tile options by location
The material choice depends mainly on whether the mural goes indoors or outdoors.
Indoor tile options
| Tile type | Finish / notes | Sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Tumbled marble | Botticino beige, pitted with cracks and gouges for an old-world European look; matte finish, sealed for durability | 4 x 4, 6 x 6 |
| Durable ceramic | Gloss, satin, or matte; sealed for durability | 4.25 x 4.25, 6 x 6, 8 x 8, 12 x 12 |
| Glass | Image transferred onto the back of the tile; optically clear; for floors, walls, or countertops | 6 x 6 |
The site describes tumbled marble as "the stone of choice" for indoor work.
Outdoor tile options
| Tile type | Finish / notes | Sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain kiln-fired | Fired at 1800°F and guaranteed for a lifetime; usable indoors or outdoors for floors, walls, countertops, pools | 6 x 6, 8 x 8, 12 x 12, 8 x 10 |
| Mosaics | Natural stone or sparkly glass in tiny pieces; indoors or outdoors for floors, walls, countertops, pools | Not specified on the page |
The site also mentions imaged porcelain enameled recycled tile, though the page excerpt cuts off before giving details.
How to decide if it fits your project
Choose this service if you want a one-off mural built around a specific image — your own photo or artwork, or a selected painting — rather than a mass-produced tile design. The material list covers the common wet and high-traffic areas (backsplash, shower, pool), so the main decision is indoor versus outdoor, which determines whether you're choosing among marble, ceramic, and glass or going with kiln-fired porcelain.
If you have an unusual space or an idea you want to talk through, the site invites you to write or call. Installation inspiration from past clients is collected on a separate mural installation page.
Pricing is not stated on the page, so cost and ordering terms would need to come from direct contact with the studio.
