Feature wall inspiration

13 Jul 2023

Mosaics are one of the most popular options when it comes to tiled feature walls. These can range from simple squares to all different geometric designs. All of our mosaic sheets are supplied on a mesh sheet so they can easily be cut down to the required size, making them much easier to lay than most people expect! One of our most popular mosaics at the moment is the Carrara Herringbone, the herringbone formation is incredibly popular at the moment and these small format herringbones look perfect when placed in a shower enclosure alongside our Carrara marble tiles. In some design ideas, the client wants to keep within a subtle colour scheme but they also want to add something unique. This is why we have produced our Carrara marble in a number of different mosaic formats such as the Basketweave and Hexagon mosaics, we believe this enables our customers to create the perfect feature without adding bold colours.

A product that creates the maximum feature wall affect is the Spitface tile, the textured finish of these products not only create a unique look visually but the multi-level service of the tiles add something completely unique and visually appealing. We have a wide range of Spitface tiles available with one of our most popular being the silver travertine splitface. The customer in the photo below wanted to find the perfect tile to give her bathroom something special, this products holds all of the beauty of natural stone and adds a bold and rustic feature to any space it is placed in, making it the perfect choice. Another splitface option available from us is the Crema Marfil, this marble has always been a favourite to our customers so it seemed like the perfect idea to create a product where it could be used in a feature format. We have found that a common location for a feature wall tends to be within TV enclosures, the client in the photo below has used strong spotlighting against the splitface to really showcase everything the tile has to offer, he has said that guests constantly point out the design when they visit which is exactly what everybody looks for when adding a feature wall in their home.

Metro tiles are a popular design idea for bathrooms and splashbacks, these tiles get their name as they were originally commonly seen on the underground train network, it is only in recent years that they made their way into homes around the globe.

These tiles may seem simplistic, but when designing the layout they can laid in different formations to create the perfect feature wall in a shower enclosure. Or even taking a simple metro tile but opting for a bevelled edge can add a modern look to a simple splash back.

Our Terramoda tiles are from the same family as the metro but they offer something a little bit more unique, these tiles are bigger than the soho metro in the size of 75x300 and are available in six different colours. These tiles have a more textured finish creating not only a bold look with their strong colours but mixed with the slightly unlevel surface and the gloss finish they make a fantastic feature wherever they are placed.
