Whether home or work areas, interior or exterior, the following tiling suggestions should inspire fresh ideas for your project.
At Tile Clearance Outlet, we offer discount floor tiles in Perth that embrace modern tastes, celebrating classic and current trends.
Inspired by touch
Modern tiling is about more than colour and size. Texture matters, helping build an impression of depth.
When choosing tiles, understated texture can draw the eye without overwhelming the surrounding décor.
Textured tiles in neutral shades assist with enriching plain interiors, without introducing bold colours and patterns.
You could try: Newport Sand for a textured surface finish.
Urban inspiration
Modern concrete look tiles offer a nod to industrial-inspired design, delivering contemporary elegance with an edge.
Today’s take on the concrete aesthetic achieves the style but sidesteps the maintenance that comes with concrete.
In practical terms, concrete look tiles are friendly on the budget, being more affordable than their concrete counterparts.
You could try: The Form Fumo tile, a glazed porcelain tile with a concrete look.
Think big
A tiled area with minimal breaks has a certain beauty. Large tiles equal less grout, delivering subtle glamour with modern appeal.
Large tiles also help create an impression of space, making them suited to smaller rooms in modern homes and apartments.
Bathroom hacks: tiles that make tiny spaces feel huge explains the effectiveness of large tiles in more compact bathrooms.
You could try: A 600x1200mm tile such as the glazed porcelain stone look Chiara Ivory.
A stony aspect
As providers of stone floor tiles in Perth, we know the allure of stone tiling remains constant, a tribute to nature’s subtle definitions.
Now, minus the expense and maintenance, stone look tiles have become the modern go-to alternative, recreating that ambience.
It’s worth noting, stone look tiles do not hold heat the way stone does, a helpful feature during West Australian summers.
You could try: A gently nuanced stone look glazed porcelain tile like Aura White.
Beyond floors
Have a penchant for wall and floor tiles? You’re in luck: modern tiling isn’t big on boundaries. A splash of artistry is always welcome.
Think eye-catching wall features, counters, and bars. Splashbacks made chic. Tiles streaming from living room to alfresco area.
Instead of expected finishes like paint, timber and metal, let yourself imagine the possibility of tiling that surface instead.
You could try: A detailed tile, perhaps the Terra Tek Grigio, suitable for interiors and exteriors.
Playing favourites
Saturating the room in one colour is a bold move that, when done well, makes quite the visual splash.
Traditional colour associations like blue for a room with an ocean view or green for a space overlooking lush gardens are options.
For a sleek take, embrace a feature wall tiled black and a floor covered in primarily black tiles to achieve a striking finish.
You could try: The Allure Black on a wall alongside Rocks Black on the floor.
Nature-inspired neutrals
Tiles in neutral shades are always popular. But for an on-trend take, choose a palette inspired by natural warmth over cooler colours.
A warm neutral will suit most spaces. Tiling influenced by earth and timber tones can complement an array of different décor styles.
Kitchen, dining, and living areas feel welcoming when tiled in a warm neutral inspired by the outside world. Cream and beige are possibilities.
You could try: Astor Taupe tiles for an elegant matt finish.
Be audacious
Prefer tiling that offers more than a polite background? Today’s trends encourage you to play with patterns and finishes.
Modern tiling trends are more open to confident personal artistry. Sometimes, unexpected combos create gorgeous interiors.
With beautiful lines and spatter patterns weaving an organic impression, today’s tiles never feel static. Take a chance, and transform your project.
You could try: A wall feature that includes striking natural stone tile Mosaic Stone – S26.
Matt plus gloss
While gloss tiles have been shining in the spotlight, mixing matt and gloss is a modern take that plays with different surfacing.
If you want to keep it subtle, consider a gloss tile for one area, and a similar matt shade tile on another area in the room.
Using a matt tile for flooring and a gloss tile in a similar shade on a nearby wall is a striking way to blend finishes.
You could try: A gloss kitchen splashback with Retro Lead and the matt Arena Dark Grey for the floor.
Modern mosaics
You could argue there is always room for mosaic tiling in modern homes, whether in the bathroom or as part of a feature wall.
A fun recent trend has been the use of mosaics to create pixelated images in the vein of computer graphics from the eighties and nineties.
While square mosaics are a popular choice, remember mosaic tiles come in other shapes. Explore artistic and eye-catching designs.
You could try: A fun round wall tile like the Porcelain P22 with a gloss finish.
Checkmate and beyond
While traditional chessboard black-and-white floor design remains a go-to design, modern tiling takes the concept in new directions.
Want to personalise the look? Change the colour blend. Decide on small or large tiles. Interpret the pattern as sophisticated or retro kitsch.
A fantastic choice for entryways, hallways, bathrooms, and kitchens, chequered tiling brings dynamic energy and visual flare to a space.
You could try: A cosmopolitan blend like Atlas Cream and Atlas Fumo.
Special mention: Tile layout
Deciding on tiles is a big step, but so is selecting your layout. The pattern of your tiling can alter the tone of your project.
Most popular tile patterns offers insight on ways you can lay your tiles, from stacking to herringbone and basket weave.
