1 – Natural Limestone Bathroom Walls (But not really!)
Part of the beauty of tiles is the plethora of different designs and styles there are to choose from. You can pick from wood effect, stone effect, marble effect tiles and so much more! They offer all the aesthetics of natural materials, without the price tag or upkeep associated with the raw material. Introducing this style of tile into your home will introduce a sense of calm and cosiness. They relate your interior to exterior elements, bringing the outside in, and providing tranquil environments for soft gome vibes.
Our Brixton Taupe Grey Pattern tiles come in at a more than affordable £8.80/SQM (correct at the time of publishing). They offer the natural aesthetic of limestone and a quirky striped design while offering the durability, and affordability, of ceramic tiles.
2 – Trending Plaster Wall Effect
We’re sure you’ve all been seeing the trend of plaster walls in our home design, and how to create the same look without actually just having plaster on your walls. Here’s our take on this new and fresh style. Plaster effect tiles may sound niche, but they are perfect for creating a subtle backdrop to a neutral space, oozing sophistication and relaxation. Pair the neutral tones with beiges, whites or greys to enhance that spa-like feel without breaking the bank!
Our Stucco Arabica tiles work great at offering the aesthetic of real plaster walls while providing a durable wall covering. They come in at £8.80/SQM (correct at the time of publishing) and offer a matt “stucco” finish.
3 – Luxuriously Textured Wall Designs
For the addition of texture to your walls, creating a tactile look and feel, introduce a decor wall tile! They offer all the elegance of your favourite tile while welcoming a textured surface design, creating depth and character. They work with a variety of design styles and personalities and can be dressed as dramatically or as minimally as desired. Pair with stripped-back accessories like simple towels or cabinetry, or introduce a bespoke design style with the addition of quirky wallpaper and decor.
We’ve used another of our Stucco range, the Stucco Arabica Lattice tiles, featuring a subtle lattice texture for that level of depth. They come in at £10.36/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), so are more than affordable when it comes to refreshing your kitchen or bathroom wall design.
4 – Simplistic White Tile Elegance
Sometimes less is more, and sometimes you just need a plain white tile to act as the perfect backdrop to the rest of your design. We have the perfect selection of white tiles, all at prices you can afford, that are ideal for just this! Plain white wall tiles are one of the most versatile options you can go for when it comes to wall tile design. They can act as a simple feature wall, not needing much else done to them for the design to stand out, or, alternatively, they can be dressed with bright colours and textures, creating a more characterful and bespoke design! The choices are endless!
Tip: For a more characterful design, try pairing your white tiles with coloured grout, adding depth and texture to your walls!
Our Whitechapel Gloss Metro tiles are one of our most popular designs, as they simply work well across any room of the home within any design style. They come in at a cost-effective £12.95/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), so you can be sure to get the most out of your money.
5 – Affordably Luxurious Marble Effect
To welcome a sense of the classic marble design we all know and love at a fraction of the price, we would always recommend one of our tiles. They come in a variety of styles and colours of marble, offering diversity and creativity. Whether you’re looking for a classic white marble with classy grey veining, or for something a little more lavish and opulent with white marble and gold veining, we have the perfect choice for you, without the hassle and price of sourcing real marble for your walls.
Our Raffinato White Carrara Marble Effect tiles perfectly capture everything to love about marble walls, providing that sleek finish at just £12.95/SQM (price correct at the time of publishing).
6 – Traditional Rustic Tile Elegance
Rustic, bumpy white wall tiles are a fantastic option if you’re looking to add texture and character to your home, without overpowering the space. These tiles bring a handcrafted aesthetic with their uneven surface, creating a unique look that adds depth to your walls. Whether you use them across your kitchen, bathroom or even as a feature wall in the living room, the subtle imperfections of these tiles make them stand out in the best way. Their neutral white tone allows them to blend effortlessly with various styles, from farmhouse chic to modern minimalism, while their rustic texture ensures they’re anything but boring.
Our Veneto White tiles enhance this rustic look and feel elegantly, perfectly capturing that bumpy surface for a textured look and feel. They currently sit at £12,76/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), perfect for a quick and affordable wall refresh!
7 – Forest Green Tile Glamour
Something about that forest green colour makes us all think and feel nature. The loveable shade introduces a sense of calm, something we’re sure everyone seeks after a long hard day. This makes them perfect for rooms like the bathroom, where we all love to take a dip in the bath and soak away our worries. Blue and green tiles are among some of the most popular here at Walls and Floors, known for their fun and quirky nature, and perfect for adding a versatile splash of colour across the walls of any home.
Here, our Lazio Green tiles provide a classy, rustic texture across the walls of a classy, sophisticated bathroom design. Their soothing tones introduce that sought-after sense of tranquillity. They are currently priced at £12.76/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), perfect for an affordable refresh.
8 – Be Bold and Daring with Tiles
Don’t be afraid of immersing your space in true character and quirky design. Patterned tiles come in a wide range of colours, styles and designs, so don’t be afraid to delve into something unique that you would normally gloss over. Bright colours and patterns offer a sense of personality, that you wouldn’t always get with a plain, neutral tile. Choose the wall tile for your space, then choose the colours and accessories you’d like to pair with them, for a seamless and cohesive interior design.
Our Veneto Multicolour Patterned Wall tiles achieve this bold, fun style perfectly. They welcome a leafy floral design design with multiple tones throughout, like greens, white and coral. They are currently £13.56/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), so they are more than reasonable for a tile of this style!
9 – Luxury on a Budget
For a sense of luxury, without breaking the bank, seek options that can be dressed appropriately. Think muted tones that pair well with brushed brass hardware and luxury textures. Welcome marble effect worktops to your kitchen, or a sleek brushed brass shower to your bathroom, perfect for a sense of glamour and expense on a budget. Muted tones are a simple, classic backdrop that offers a plain scheme with a twist of simple colouring.
We love the use of our Flat Kentish Town Grey tiles in this kitchen, with their warm grey tone perfectly complimenting the marble and gold aesthetic of the rest of the space. They are currently £18.36/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), so they are great for a weekend shopping spree purchase!
10 – Go Bold or Go Home!
For an injection of character and pizzaz, seek a wall tile that isn’t the norm in colour, like oranges, pinks, yellows, and maybe even purple! They inject a true sense of individuality and can be dressed to suit your personal style. Sunnier shades are known to reflect a sunny personality, so put your best self forward and welcome something bright and cheery. Consider a bright wall tile with a natural grout for a juxtaposition that just works! Complement your accessories with the colour of your grout, or go large and use a contrasting colour for true uniqueness.
For a taste of the quirkiness, see how we’ve used our Marmalade Pick n’ Mix tiles, paired with navy blue cabinetry for the perfect contrast. These orange wall tiles are currently priced at £22.36/SQM (correct at the time of publishing), so you’re getting all that personality at a small price!
