Collection: Wall Tiles

Wall tiles change the backdrop to everyday life, from the surface behind a kitchen worktop to a full-height bathroom wall. Colour, texture, and reflected light each bring something different. Explore ceramic and porcelain designs that give a room character, whether you want a quiet background or a focal point.

Decide what you want to notice first

A tiled wall can hold the room’s attention or support the furniture and materials around it. Start by deciding which role makes sense for the space.

Evolvere Black / Gold offers a stronger focal point through its dark marble effect and gold veining. Across one wall, that movement can establish the room’s character without needing decorative detail on every surface.

Use colour to connect the materials

Look at tile samples beside the paint, cabinetry and fittings you have in mind. The colours don’t need to match, but a connection between them helps the room feel cohesive.

Warm surroundings: brown tones can connect timber, cream paint and warm metals.
Cooler surroundings: blue can pick up tones in grey stone or contrast with warmer wood.

Ariya Brown brings warmth with a reflective finish. Its smaller subway shape breaks the colour into repeated sections, giving the wall detail as well as depth.

Let the layout give the wall direction

The extent of tiling changes its impact. A narrow splashback concentrates colour, while continuing to the ceiling makes the surface part of the room’s architecture.

With an elongated shape such as Blue Ore Subway, a vertical stack draws attention upwards; an offset arrangement creates a different rhythm. Plan the layout around windows, mirrors, and shelving so the cuts and stopping points feel deliberate.

Explore Kitchen Wall Tiles and Bathroom Wall Tiles for room-specific choices, or Hallway Wall Tiles for entrance spaces.

FAQs

Should I choose ceramic or porcelain wall tiles?

Both offer options for walls. Ceramic is a dedicated wall choice, while porcelain includes designs that can also continue onto floors where specified.

Can wall tiles be used outside kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes. Wall tiles can introduce colour or texture in hallways and living areas too. Choose a design and installation system suited to the intended wall.

What size wall tiles should I choose?

Larger formats create fewer joints and broader areas of surface detail. Smaller tiles make shape and repetition more visible. Check how each format fits around corners and fittings.

Should I choose matt or glossy wall tiles?

Matt surfaces create a softer appearance, while glossy finishes catch and reflect light. Compare samples upright to see how they respond to the room’s lighting.

Should grout match or contrast on a tiled wall?

Match it for a calm, continuous wall. Contrast it when the tile shape is the point, such as subway or hexagon layouts.

How should I look at wall tile samples?

Stand them upright where they'll go, rather than flat on a table. Light falls across a wall from the side, which shows finish and texture differently. Neptune Marble White and Iron Ore are worth including.
