Feature tiles in the home are often used in an interior design scheme to create a striking focal point in a space. Incorporating a feature tile in your design will allow you to experiment with a range of different colours and patterns to create a unique and stylish look in your home. In this post, we’ve picked out some of our favourite colourful tile options that can be used throughout your home’s interior spaces to create a stylish feature element in your new design scheme!

Colourful Tile Options Inspired by Handmade Creations

Traditionally handmade tiles will show luxurious variations in colour and texture from one tile to the next. When combined, these stunning tiles will create a rich and tactile patchwork effect that will bring any interior design scheme to life! As can be expected of a handcrafted product, these types of tiles can fetch a higher price tag. As such, authentic handmade tiles are often used in restricted applications (such as kitchen splashbacks or bathroom feature walls) in order to ensure projects stay on budget. For projects that require a large amount of tiles, handmade-look tiles will offer the next best solution. These types of tiles are machine made however, they are specifically designed to emulate the look and feel of an authentic handmade tile, offering this luxurious designer look at a different price point. You will find an enormous selection of both handmade and handmade-look tiles available, each offering its own unique range of bright and vivid colour options, elegant textures and stunning patterns!

The playful Phi Phi collection is a handmade-look tile option that offers an irresistibly tactile crackle finish. These lush, glossy tiles are available in an endless selection of stunning colour options perfect for creating dynamic feature walls throughout your home’s interior spaces.

Contemporary Colour Blocking with Tiles

Colour blocking in interior design will add a striking and bold feature in the home that can be used to draw attention to and highlight a particular design feature. Floor or wall tiles can be used in this same fashion, allowing you to explore your creativity with layers of colour, pattern and shape to create a unique look.

Available in a selection of classic square tiles and subway tile options, the Axel collection offers a smooth matte tile finish in a range of bold colours. A contemporary tiling solution, Axel can be used as both a floor or wall tile throughout the home’s interior spaces.

Colourful Tile Options for Traditional Homes

When renovating a heritage home or adding a touch of old world charm to a modern home build, you may want to consider choosing a selection of tiles that are inspired by traditional designs. By introducing more traditional styles in your interior decorating and design scheme, you can ensure the home’s architectural sense of character is well maintained and you home keeps a consistent look throughout. Tile options to keep an eye out for include natural stone tiles, luxurious ceramic feature tiles as well as smooth encaustic tiles. Each of these tile categories will usually include a stunning range of options that are well suited to a more traditional design.

Our Archaic handmade tile collection includes an endless array of stylish traditional patterns to choose from, each boasting a unique sense of character. With style options influenced by traditional Mediterranean design, the Archaic collection can be used throughout your home’s interior spaces to create striking feature walls.

Create a Bold Feature with Large Format Pattern Tiles

Recreate the bold and charismatic look of wallpaper with large format porcelain tiles! Specific collections of porcelain tiles are designed to offer an alternative solution to traditional wallpapers, allowing you to create more unique and dynamic looks throughout the home, including in wet areas where traditional wallpapers are usually avoided. These tile collections come in a large format size that will minimise the appearance of grout lines in your chosen design. These tiles are often much thinner than other porcelain tile options which in turn allows for easier installation of these jumbo-sized tiles. Each tile will show a design or pattern that connects with the next tile in your chosen layout, creating a stunning visual display that will fill your home with pattern and colour.

Available in a wide range of dynamic patterns and colours, our Paper41 Pro collection offers a hard wearing and durable alternative to traditional wallpaper. These ultra-thin porcelain tiles are simple to keep clean and tidy, being resistant to heat, moisture, scratching and staining.

Create Contrast with Natural Stone Colourful Tile Options

Design features in the home can be made up of contrasting colours that combine to form a bold pattern. Natural stone tiles offer an excellent means of experimenting with contrasting elements in an interior design scheme as there are many exciting options available to choose from, each showing a unique colour and pattern in itself. Marble tiles for example, can be sourced in an endless range of naturally occurring colours and patterns as there are so many different varieties of marble available to choose from. From the milky white softness of Carrara marble to the bold, deep black tone of Nero Marquina marble, you will find many different elegant options available to choose from!

Available in a selection of different natural marble options, the Serpentine collection can be mixed and matched to create stunning contrasting patterns in the home.

Including a selection of colourful tiles in your home’s interior design scheme is an excellent way to showcase your own unique creative flair while truly customising your home to suit you.
