Creating Statement Walls with Tiles

If you’re looking to create a striking focal point in your home, wall tiles are a great option for this. Often associated with the bathroom and kitchen, they can be styled beyond the ordinary in a variety of ways and spaces such as hallways and living rooms.

Available in marble, mosaic and porcelain styles, wall tiles are both visually appealing and practical for homes. They are highly durable, superior in strength, resistant to water and they are able to withstand high-traffic areas - making them a life-long investment. The colours, patterns and texture of tiles instantly elevate your space adding character and interest. In this guide discover how to choose the right tile material and how to style them in your space.

Why Choose Tiles for A Statement Wall?

There are a variety of reasons why luxury properties opt for wall tiles instead of paint or wallpaper. Not only do they add an opulent touch and high-quality appeal, but they are renowned for their longevity, visual impact and easy maintenance.

1. Durability

If you’re styling wall tiles in your bathroom or kitchen, it’s essential that they are durable. These spaces are high-traffic areas and prone to spills, moisture and condensation which is why selecting a premium tile is important. The durability of tiles add value to your home, and are a life-long investment that will last for years to come. Tiles crafted from natural stone such as marble will withstand the test of time, while tiles such as a porcelain are designed with outstanding qualities, such as anti-stain protection, meeting the highest P and R ratings which gives you peace of mind when styling your wall as the focal point of your space.

2. Maintenance

Wall tiles are extremely easy to clean and maintain. They require a simple water and mild soap solution and a soft microbe fibre cloth to wipe away any dust or dirt. Most tiles are water resistant which means moisture build-up will not affect the appearance of your statement wall over time. Marble tiles do require sealing every six months, however cleaning remains simple.

3. Visual Appeal

Tiles offer a level of visual impact that painted walls simply can’t match. With an extensive choice of colours, materials, and finishes, they allow you to create a statement that reflects your personal style. Whether you opt for bold hues, striking marble veining, or let texture take the lead with the organic beauty of travertine or Palma tiles, there’s a tile to suit every aesthetic. Layout patterns such as herringbone, brickbond, and linear add even more design flexibility, helping you transform plain walls into standout features.

PULL HANDLES

Pull handles are usually bigger in size than cabinets and range from 140mm to 280mm. They create a striking statement, and are easier to grip particularly our designs that are crafted with knurled and fluted detail. They can be installed vertically or horizontally across the top of a cabinet door or drawer.

CUP HANDLES

Cup handles are a popular alternative to the standard straight pull bar. Displaying a curvaceous semi circle shape, the cup handles are an elegant addition to drawers and units. Cup pulls are usually installed to the top third of the cabinet door or on the top rail and centred vertically.

T-BAR HANDLES

The versatile T-bar handles can be placed horizontally or vertically on cabinet doors and drawers in your kitchen. Extremely easy to use and grip, T-bars are significant across luxury properties and family homes.
