The Portofino Paint Inlay draws inspiration from the intricate beauty of “Azulejos”—polished, glazed ceramic tiles that have adorned Portuguese architecture since the 13th century. Portofino is gushing with gorgeous cobalt blue and white patterns, serving as a testament to its rich artistic history. 

Portofino features detailed vignettes, elegant borders, and classical typography that will infuse each project with a touch of European heritage. Whether you embellish a vintage bread box, or a set of ceramic coasters, or refurbish a cutting board with playful lemons, the pretty details welcome both playful and sophisticated projects.

Don't forget to save those inlay sheets for additional uses!😍

WHAT ARE IOD PAINT INLAYS?

IOD Paint Inlays are ground-breaking, first-in-class, premium art products that are revolutionizing the DIY industry and empowering creative exploration across all skill levels. In short, they are AH-MAZING, if we do say so ourselves. (Three years in the making so we love them like our kids!)

IOD Paint Inlays are the artisanal answer to decor transfers. They’re not a decal; they’re not a synthetic film; they’re not decoupage. 

When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, paint is physically embedded into the surface of your project. After drying, the carrier paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your piece.
