Marble Effect Tiles

Marble effect tiles are low maintenance too as well as being less porous, making them ideal for use in the bathroom and kitchen. The timeless design appeal of marble is beautifully recreated with highly realistic marble effect tiles, with varying shades, detailing and veining as well as a natural finish.

Choose large wall tiles for minimum grout lines and maximum shine or opt for a contrasting strip to help break up a whole wall of tiles. For the ultimate in high-end design, combine matching wall and floor tiles in the same colour for that touch of hotel chic.

There's no reason why the bathroom shouldn't be a thing of beauty and relaxation. It is a place where we go in the morning when preparing for the day ahead, and it is the place we return to as we try and wind down. So shouldn’t it be a room of indulgence more than any other?

We think so, but what does indulgence mean to you? For some of us, it is classic styling with curves and flourishes, but others are drawn to a more modern and simple interior style. Think you can’t have the best of both? Think again. By combining your tiles cleverly you can have a classic and contemporary space that is pure indulgence.

Choose classic marble flooring such as our Marbella White tile range. These glossy porcelain floor tiles have a realistic marble effect complete with rich blue-grey veining that just screams style when you walk into the room. You can also combine these with the simple white modern metro wall tiles such as our Aruba Cotton White Gloss or our Marylebone White halfway up the wall, to stunning effect. The marble effect floor tiles bring drama and interest to the room, while the metro tiles, with their effortless chic, complement the veining of the marble floor tiles and ensure the key features of the room really make a statement.

Once you have decided on your staple elements in the room, it’s easy to add high-society elegance with the practical styling of contemporary design. Start by using classic fittings – such as double freestanding basins with traditionally styled features, and a centrally-placed roll-top bath with a premium glass splashback on the wall.

For the ultimate in glamour go for a chandelier or even elegant sconces on the walls. Adding a dark moody wall colour, perhaps a grey or a deep blue, can bring out the veining on the floor and add a contemporary feel. Additionally, by using candles around the bathtub and some warm fluffy towels, you will have both a glamorous and relaxing space all in one.
