Tile Advice for Small & Boring Spaces

Maximising Space with the Right Tiles

Does your compact bathroom feel more like a cupboard? Is your kitchen lacking the grandeur it deserves? Fear not! Our tile experts are here to help. The secret to transforming small, uninspiring spaces lies beneath your feet and on your walls. But not just any tiles will do!​

With the right porcelain tiles, even the tiniest of rooms can exude elegance, light, and depth. A clever selection of floor and wall tiles can trick the eye, creating an illusion of openness and style. Your home deserves a better ambience, and so do you.​

Let’s explore how smart tile choices can elevate your space from cramped to captivating.

The Power of Light and Colour

A small room thrives on light. Pale, neutral tones—white, cream, soft greys, and pastel hues—bounce light around, creating an airy feel. Darker tiles absorb light, making the space feel more enclosed.​

Opt for 600×600 tiles in lighter shades for your bathroom or kitchen to maximise openness. The square shapes and larger-than-average tiles help to create an open feel.

Reflective Surfaces: Let There Be Light!

Would you believe that a well-placed tile could mimic the openness of a grand hall? Polished porcelain tiles do exactly that, reflecting light, dispersing brightness, and making a room feel larger than it is.​

For a touch of opulence, our marble bathroom tiles bring that high-end aesthetic to both kitchens and bathrooms. Whether you’re seeking tiles for kitchen spaces or modern floor tiles for a sleek finish, reflective surfaces are your best friend.​

Create a Striking Centrepiece

A small space doesn’t mean a lack of drama. Direct attention with a bold centrepiece—a marble tile feature wall, a textured statement backsplash, or a patterned tile design.​

A dark marble bathroom tile on one wall, offset by matching tiles in a softer tone, creates contrast and sophistication. This trick shifts focus from the room’s size to its stunning details.​

Accent walls and styles draw attention away from cramped and awkward spaces, creating an open, artistic ambience that is comforting to the eyes and mind.​

Balance Bold Patterns

Can a small space handle pattern? Absolutely, when done right. A geometric floor tile, paired with subtle kitchen wall tiles, injects personality without overwhelming the room.​

Our unique tile collection offers the perfect balance of statement design and refined minimalism, ensuring your space remains stylish and spacious.​

Bring out your inner mosaic artist and use patterned styles or tile layouts to create a fantastic art piece that will enhance the aesthetic of your home.​

The Art of Texture: More Than Just a Pretty Surface

Have you ever run your fingers over a tile and felt its story? Unlike smooth, polished surfaces, textured tiles add dimension and intrigue, making a space feel more dynamic and engaging.​

From carved porcelain tiles to stone effect finishes, texture provides both visual and tactile appeal. Bathroom and kitchen tiles benefit from this extra layer of design, making them standout features in any home.​

Seamless Design: The Grout Trick

Bigger tiles are often recommended for small rooms, but cutting oversized tiles to fit can disrupt the design flow. Instead, opt for 600×600 floor tiles and use matching grout colours for a seamless effect.​

Our premium tile selection includes marble tiles for bathrooms and kitchens, offering both functionality and elegance.​

Vertical Tiles: Elevate Your Space

Laying tiles vertically can make a space feel taller, drawing the eye upward and creating the illusion of higher ceilings. This technique is particularly effective in small bathrooms where you want to maximise the perception of space.
