Do Something A Little Different With Metro Tiles

Just add shimmer

For an easy-going feel to your bathroom or kitchen, add some shimmering tiles that add a soft but stylish feel to your bathroom or kitchen. Our Carnival Jade tiles, and our range of Shimmer tiles, which are available in very delicate shades of blue, green, grey, cream and white will do just that. They have a glazed, uneven surface that looks hand-made and which gently reflects the light to give a beautifully soft, shimmery look.

We have so many magical Metro Tiles!

Try an alternative layout

Tiles don’t have to be laid in the standard brick formation, in fact, they look so much more interesting if you lay them in one of a multitude of other designs. Why not position them in a chevron pattern to give them a modern edge that's visually rich, but not enough to overwhelm your space. They can also be stacked or rotated so that they lay vertically for a really interesting take on the classic formation. Don't worry, whichever way you lay them, they will still retain their understated but stylish appearance.

Choose a rich colour

Metro tiles don’t have to be white or cream or another such subtle colour. You can go for rich and bold colours like the Bevelled Brick Red or Haban Burgundy - all of which certainly make a statement, or go for something like the Brick Jade and paint the walls white to make the oceanic blue really stand out.

Make your grout shout!

Although Metro tiles are everywhere these days, it doesn’t mean you can’t give them that bespoke feel with some contrasting grout. When the grout colour diverges strongly with the tile itself, the individual tiles stand out so much more. Customising them like this is an easy way to give plain white tiles a dash of colour and interest, which can be changed on a whim, without the commitment of coloured tiles.

Choose multiple colours

If you’re looking for a truly customised look, without the accompanying price tag, then be a bit creative by choosing two different colours of the same tiles and alternating them. For a colour bonanza choose two from the many different shades of our Brick range, or if you’re feeling really creative, choose three or four and place them randomly in the space! We have a fantastic range of tiles with which you could try out your ideas.

Metro tiles are timeless and versatile, the perfect choice for any style of bathroom and kitchen!
