Nestled within a sweeping 45-acre estate in the West Midlands, Hampton Manor is a country house hotel that feels both grand and intimately welcoming. Set in the village of Solihull, just outside Birmingham, the hotel occupies a beautifully restored Grade II-listed manor house with a story as rich as its interiors fully restored with our own stunning Reclaimed Hexagonal Terracotta Tiles.
Hampton Manor is built around the idea that true luxury is experienced through the senses. The hotel’s design embraces natural materials, reclaimed terracotta tiles, rich textures, and a palette that is both warm and restrained. The interior story is one of balance: historic stone and ornate architecture are paired with modern, relaxed furnishings, while decorative details sit alongside open, inviting spaces.
The design intent is clear from the moment guests arrive. The manor’s grand façade gives way to interiors that feel intentionally lived in—soft seating, tactile fabrics, layered lighting and rooms that invite conversation and repose. The spaces are designed to feel welcoming, not staged; comforting, not formal.
This is hospitality that feels real.
The flooring throughout Hampton Manor plays a crucial role in shaping the hotel’s atmosphere. Our KR2 Reclaimed Hex Terracotta Tiles were chosen for their natural warmth, timeless elegance, and ability to age beautifully with time.
Reclaimed terracotta has a unique character—subtle imperfections, variation in tone, and a softness that feels both historic and contemporary. The hexagonal form introduces a quiet geometry that adds structure to the rooms without overpowering the design. In a space that celebrates craftsmanship, the KR2 tiles act as a foundation that supports the entire aesthetic.
Because the tiles are reclaimed, they carry the texture of previous life, lending the floors a sense of authenticity that new materials simply cannot replicate. In hospitality environments—where the look must endure heavy footfall and constant use—reclaimed terracotta offers both durability and a patina that improves with time.
The result is a floor that feels warm underfoot, visually rich, and inherently welcoming—exactly what Hampton Manor embodies.
The choice of hex terracotta flooring also supports the hotel’s broader design narrative. It sits harmoniously alongside the manor’s stonework, leather accents, and warm timber details. It offers a subtle contrast to plush upholstery and soft textiles, balancing the interior’s richness with a grounded simplicity.
In the hotel’s public spaces—where guests gather to dine, drink, and relax—the KR2 tiles help to create a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere. Their tonal variation reflects natural light in a way that feels alive, while their texture adds depth and tactility to the rooms.
The flooring does not demand attention, yet it quietly defines the space. It is an example of how the right material can elevate an environment—without ever feeling showy.
Hampton Manor is a rare example of luxury that feels genuinely lived-in. The design celebrates craftsmanship, heritage, and sensory richness, while remaining warm and unpretentious. The KR2 Reclaimed Hex Terracotta Tiles are an essential part of that story—providing a foundation of warmth, character, and enduring beauty.
