The Root Arvum-4 13x13 decorative tiles by Vives introduce a delicate botanical influence into the warm, handcrafted world of the Root collection. Each piece combines a rich or softly mineral background with a pale botanical illustration, creating small ceramic accents that can be inserted among the plain bases, glossy finishes and other coordinated elements in the range. They are not necessarily intended to cover an entire wall, but rather to add detail, rhythm and personality to compositions where the main wall covering requires a more precise decorative intervention.

The Root Arvum-4 13x13 decorative tiles by Vives introduce a delicate botanical influence into the warm, handcrafted world of the Root collection. Each piece combines a rich or softly mineral background with a pale botanical illustration, creating small ceramic accents that can be inserted among the plain bases, glossy finishes and other coordinated elements in the range. They are not necessarily intended to cover an entire wall, but rather to add detail, rhythm and personality to compositions where the main wall covering requires a more precise decorative intervention.
The Arvum-4 Pearl, Arvum-4 Green, Arvum-4 Blue, Arvum-4 Brown, Arvum-4 Garnet and Arvum-4 Ocher references all share the same 13x13 cm square format and develop a common botanical theme through different branches, wildflowers and plant silhouettes. Each colour consists of four different designs intended to be used in alternation. This variety avoids the repetition of a single image and creates more natural compositions, as though several plant species had been selected to form a small ceramic herbarium.
The displayed price corresponds to one piece. This makes it possible to calculate and purchase the exact number of decorative tiles required to complement the main Root wall covering without converting the price into square metres. The manufacturer groups four different designs within each colour reference, while this product page is commercially priced per individual unit. This system is particularly practical when the decorative pieces are used selectively in a niche, border, irregular composition or among plain tiles.
Root is a wall tile collection that reinterprets the warmth of terracotta, natural pigments and traditional ceramic glazes through a contemporary design language. Arvum-4 expands this concept with a figurative element inspired by plants. While the base tiles form the main surface, these decorative pieces introduce visual pauses and small focal points without disrupting the overall harmony.
Their role within the project is similar to that of a small artwork integrated into the wall. A single tile can stand out within a monochrome surface. Several pieces distributed in an apparently spontaneous way create a subtle rhythm. The four coordinated designs can also be grouped together to form a more complete botanical panel. The decorative impact therefore depends less on covering a large area and more on selecting the right position for each motif.
This ability to intervene selectively makes Arvum-4 particularly useful in projects seeking an artisanal yet carefully structured appearance. It can complement a complete Root or Artis wall, define a specific area, highlight the inside of a niche or introduce a botanical sequence across a kitchen splashback. The decorative pieces follow the same 13x13 module and remain dimensionally coherent with the coordinated wall tiles.
Each Arvum-4 model consists of four different designs created to be combined in alternation. The illustrations feature various botanical compositions, including fine branches, wildflowers, upright stems and groups of leaves or flower heads. This diversity brings a more natural quality to the wall and prevents the same image from being repeated continuously.
The four motifs can be grouped, separated or distributed among plain tiles. When placed together, they form a small composition reminiscent of a collection of botanical prints. Alternated with the base wall tile, they appear as occasional discoveries within the surface. Arranged in a line, they create an ornamental sequence suitable for a decorative border or visual feature.
Before installation, it is advisable to lay out the pieces and decide how they will be distributed. The composition can follow a regular order or adopt a freer arrangement. Rotating or spacing the motifs changes the overall rhythm, although the illustrations should remain in the orientation that best preserves their botanical character. Advance planning helps avoid unintended concentrations and allows each decorative piece to relate to the nearby architectural features.
Arvum-4 Pearl offers the lightest and most subtle interpretation in the family. The pearlescent or cream background is combined with a discreet botanical design, creating a low-intensity decoration that blends into bright walls without producing excessive contrast. It is suitable for projects that require a figurative motif while preserving a calm atmosphere.
Its palette works particularly well with Root Mellow, Artis Pearl, beige stone, pale timber, cream worktops and off-white furniture. In a bathroom, it can be used around the mirror, inside a niche or as a detail among plain tiles. In a kitchen, it adds a handcrafted note to the splashback without visually reducing the sense of space.
The delicacy of Pearl also makes it possible to use several pieces on the same surface. The four motifs can be distributed with some frequency because the contrast remains controlled. The result recalls a softly engraved or printed drawing over a warm ceramic base.
Arvum-4 Green presents its botanical illustrations against a deep green background. The connection between colour and plant motif is immediate, yet the result avoids becoming literal or excessively rustic. The green has a sophisticated mineral quality that allows it to integrate naturally into contemporary interiors.
This shade works with natural timber, pale stone, brass, woven fibres, cream surfaces and plants. It can reinforce the natural character of a bathroom, add depth to a timber kitchen or create a small decorative panel in a reception area. The pale silhouettes stand out against the background while retaining the refinement of their linework.
Combined with Artis Green or other coordinated Root pieces, Arvum-4 Green can create tonal compositions in which the botanical motif emerges within a wall of similar colour. Against pale bases, it becomes a stronger accent. The choice depends on whether the project calls for continuity or contrast.
Arvum-4 Blue uses a deep blue background that highlights the botanical silhouettes and gives the wall greater visual depth. Blue connects with water, glazed ceramics and traditional pigments, making it particularly suitable for bathrooms, cloakrooms and spaces where a more enveloping atmosphere is required.
Combining it with white, pale timber, marble, grey stone or chrome metal creates balanced interiors. In a bathroom, a few pieces can stand out within an Artis Blue wall. In a kitchen, the blue can accompany white or timber cabinetry, adding colour without requiring the entire wall to be covered with a continuous decorative pattern.
The contrast between the dark background and the pale illustrations gives each motif excellent definition. The four designs can be grouped to form an intense botanical composition or used individually as small collectible pieces distributed across the surface.
Arvum-4 Brown recovers the colour range most directly associated with earth, timber and fired clay. Its brown background introduces depth and warmth, while the pale illustrations provide a refined contrast that prevents the overall appearance from becoming too heavy.
This reference suits interiors dominated by natural materials, timber furniture, beige stone, sand-coloured fabrics and warm metals. It can complement Root Bold or Artis Brown to create a deeper composition, or be combined with Mellow and Pearl so that each decorated tile stands out more clearly.
In bars, restaurants and hotels, Brown introduces a botanical note without abandoning a restrained palette. The plant motif softens the intensity of the background and offers a recognisable detail when viewed closely. From a distance, the tiles appear as small pale accents within a dark surface.
Arvum-4 Garnet develops an expressive garnet or reddish tone. Its colour recalls traditional ceramic pigments, dark wines, iron-rich earth and deep glazes. The botanical illustrations stand out clearly and turn each piece into a focal point within the wall covering.
Garnet can be combined with dark timber, brass, cream stone, off-white and earthy colours. In a kitchen, it adds depth to the splashback. In a bathroom, it creates an elegant contrast with pale sanitaryware. In hospitality interiors, it can reinforce a warm and sophisticated atmosphere.
Its intensity means that it does not need to be used in large quantities to become prominent. A few pieces distributed among a neutral base are enough to introduce colour and rhythm. It can also be coordinated with Artis Garnet and Protos Garnet to create a more complex composition within the same colour family.
Arvum-4 Ocher is inspired by the ochre and yellow shades found in mineral pigments and natural earth. Its warm background adds brightness and a strong handcrafted identity. The pale flowers and branches create a delicate design that blends into the colour while remaining clearly defined.
Ocher combines naturally with timber, woven fibres, beige stone, cream walls and black or brass details. It is suitable for Mediterranean kitchens, warm bathrooms, cafés and commercial spaces where the material palette is intended to convey authenticity and approachability.
Alongside Artis Ocher or Protos Ocher, it can create a monochrome surface with different levels of pattern and gloss. Combined with Root Mellow, each decorative tile appears as a sunlit accent within a lighter base. The colour brings energy while retaining a natural relationship with the earthy tones of the collection.
The decorative tiles on this product page are sold with a price per piece. This information is essential for calculating the order correctly, since the price is not stated per square metre. Customers can determine the number of units required according to the intended composition and add them to the main Root wall covering.
Individual sale supports flexible use. A small number of tiles can be selected for a discreet intervention, or a larger quantity can be used to create a more prominent composition. Not every wall requires the same decorative density: a niche may need four units, while a border or panel will require more.
Each reference consists of four coordinated motifs supplied together according to the manufacturer’s packaging. When planning the order, both the total number of pieces and the distribution of the different designs should be considered. A balanced installation brings out the botanical variety and avoids concentrating one motif within the same area.
The Arvum-4 pieces have been created to complement the Root collection. They can be inserted among the matt Mellow, Chipper and Bold bases or coordinated with the glossy Artis colours. This relationship allows the design to work with different levels of background intensity and contrast.
Against a base close to the colour of the decorative tile, the composition takes on a tonal character. The botanical illustration appears more integrated and the overall surface maintains chromatic continuity. Against a pale base, Blue, Brown, Garnet, Green and Ocher become stronger accents. This second option suits walls where each decorated piece should be perceived as an individual feature.
Several Arvum-4 colours can also be combined, although the selection should follow a clear design intention. Pearl can act as a transition between colours. Green, Blue and Brown create a nature-inspired palette. Garnet and Ocher introduce a warmer temperature. The final choice should relate to the furniture, lighting and other materials used within the space.
The 13x13 format allows these decorative tiles to be used on very specific surfaces. A bathroom niche can be covered with the four pieces from one reference, creating a concentrated botanical composition. On a plain wall, the motifs can form a horizontal or vertical border accompanying a mirror, worktop or architectural feature.
Another possibility is to create a small panel made up of several decorative pieces and framed by plain Root tiles. The panel acts as a graphic artwork integrated into the ceramic surface and can be positioned behind a basin, on a bar front or across a kitchen splashback. The square module preserves order, while the variation in designs introduces a more natural appearance.
In a freer composition, the pieces can be distributed irregularly. The objective is not to form a conventional border, but to introduce motifs that appear and disappear across the surface. This layout reinforces the feeling of a handcrafted collection and avoids an overly predictable repetition.
In kitchens, Arvum-4 enriches a ceramic splashback without covering it entirely with pattern. The pieces are inserted among Root or Artis base tiles and add points of interest around the cooking area, sink or worktop. The botanical illustration softens the geometry of the cabinetry and introduces a handcrafted detail.
Pearl supports bright kitchens. Green works with timber and natural shades. Blue creates depth. Brown connects with dark furniture. Garnet adds a stronger note, while Ocher introduces warmth. Each colour can be selected either to repeat or contrast with the finishes of the cabinetry and worktop.
The possibility of purchasing the tiles per piece makes it easier to adapt the decoration to the actual length of the splashback. There is no need to cover the entire surface with the decorative model. A carefully planned arrangement can achieve a more balanced result with a relatively limited number of pieces.
In bathrooms, cloakrooms and washbasin areas, the Arvum-4 motifs introduce a natural reference that works with timber, stone, water and planting. The four designs within each colour can form a small ceramic herbarium on the mirror wall or inside a niche.
Combining them with plain base tiles allows the decorative intensity to be controlled. Pearl creates a very subtle detail. Green reinforces a botanical atmosphere. Blue adds depth. Brown and Garnet create more enveloping spaces, while Ocher introduces warm light. The colour choice can completely transform the perception of the bathroom.
Lighting also influences the final appearance. Frontal light allows the illustrations to be read clearly. A side-mounted wall light creates subtle changes in intensity across the glaze and highlights the 13x13 modulation. In smaller spaces, this detail can become the principal decorative element without overwhelming the room.
The Root Arvum-4 decorative tiles by Vives also offer many possibilities in hospitality and retail projects. They can be used in washrooms, bars, reception areas, small counters, waiting spaces and feature walls. Their botanical pattern adds identity and conveys a sense of careful design.
A restaurant can use Brown, Garnet or Ocher to create a warm atmosphere. A boutique can choose Pearl to maintain a lighter image. Green reinforces concepts connected with nature, wellbeing or food, while Blue introduces a more dramatic and sophisticated presence.
Because the pieces are sold individually, the decoration can be concentrated in strategic locations. This makes it possible to control the visual impact and reserve the most elaborate wall covering for the areas that genuinely need to attract attention.
The Root Decor 13x13 cotto-effect wall tiles by Vives add a botanical and figurative dimension to a collection defined by colour, material and handcrafted inspiration. Arvum-4 does not replace the Root base tiles, but complements them with pieces capable of transforming a simple surface through carefully positioned interventions.
The six colours make it possible to adapt the decoration to very different projects. Pearl offers delicacy. Green creates a connection with nature. Blue introduces depth. Brown reinforces the earthy character. Garnet adds intense warmth, while Ocher recovers the brightness of mineral pigments. The four motifs included within each reference create a varied and less repetitive composition.
Its compact format, coordination with the Root collection and price established per piece provide considerable freedom for creating niches, borders, panels and customised walls. Each unit can act as a small artistic fragment within the surface, turning the ceramic tile into an active part of the decoration of kitchens, bathrooms, homes, hotels, restaurants and commercial interiors.
