Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 Gloss Handmade-Look Ceramic Subway Tile

Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 (Shaw style 781TS) is a nominal 2.5" x 10" glazed ceramic accent tile, measuring 9.84" x 2.36", with a cloudy handmade-look surface and a glossy finish. Of the two Blooms ceramic sizes, this one is the compact option: its shorter length suits small backsplashes, tight niches and herringbone patterns where a long stick would need too many cuts. The 0.394" body is the thicker of the pair. Moderate (V2) shade variation makes each wall look hand-glazed, and the tile carries a frost resistant rating from Shaw.

Best for: Small kitchen backsplashes, bar and coffee-station walls, shower niches, herringbone feature walls, powder room walls, and exterior wall accents.

Colors

• Ivory Haze 00103: a soft chalky ivory, the most versatile Blooms shade for a classic backsplash that still has some handmade softness.
• Willow Moss 00302: a gentle gray-green that brings an herb-garden feel to a kitchen without competing with the countertop.
• Stormy Sea 00402: a deep denim navy whose clouded glaze gives a herringbone pattern real depth.
• Petal Greige 00503: a warm greige-taupe that bridges cream cabinetry and gray stone counters.
• Harvest Sun 00602: a rusty terracotta-orange with noticeable mottling, the warmest and most rustic color in the range.
• Nightshade 00902: a near-black charcoal that turns a small powder room or bar wall into a moody focal point.

Why Choose Blooms 2.5x10

• Compact 9.84" x 2.36" size fits small walls, niches and herringbone layouts with fewer awkward cuts
• Glossy glaze with a soft, handmade-look cloudy surface
• Moderate (V2) shade variation so the wall never looks printed or flat
• Frost resistant rating from Shaw for exterior wall projects
• Break strength of 250 lbf or more and water absorption of 0.50% or less

Where to Install

Blooms 2.5x10 is an accent tile, which means it belongs on walls only: backsplashes, shower and tub walls, niches, wet bars, fireplace faces and decorative borders. It is not intended for floors of any kind. Shaw rates it frost resistant, so it can also dress an exterior wall, such as a grill surround or an entry accent, when installed over a suitable exterior backer. Its small, light pieces make it a practical choice for DIY backsplash installs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 tile look the same? No. Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 has moderate (V2) shade variation and a cloudy glaze, so tone shifts slightly from piece to piece. Pull tiles from several boxes as you set them to blend the variation evenly.

Is Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 a good shower wall tile? Yes. Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 is a glazed ceramic accent tile whose water absorption is 0.50% or less, which suits shower and tub walls. Keep it off the shower floor, though.

Should I choose Blooms 2.5x10 or Blooms 2x18? Pick Blooms 2.5x10 for smaller walls, herringbone or a classic brick pattern, and choose the longer Blooms 2x18 stick when you want long, sleek horizontal or vertical lines. The two sizes share the same six colors.

Can Blooms 2.5x10 be paired with Blooms porcelain tile? Yes. The Blooms 2.5x10 ceramic colors coordinate with Blooms Deco porcelain, so you can run the patterned porcelain on a bathroom floor and the ceramic sticks on the walls.

How much Blooms 2.5x10 tile should I order? Each box of Shaw Blooms 2.5x10 covers 4.6 sq ft. Measure your wall area, add 10 to 15 percent for cuts and breakage (more for herringbone), and note the 250 sq ft minimum order.
