Wall Tiles


Curate Your Living Space with Wall Tiles

The latest design trends in 2021 for wall tiles follow a philosophy of unity in the home, extending the indoor living spaces outside in a functional way while focusing on natural colours and textures. Being in nature has a calming effect on people that they increasingly crave now that they spend most of their time at home due to COVID-19. The sanctuary of the home has been invaded by work, and people are trying to create balance by curating their homes to best suit their new amalgamated lives.

Design Ideas for Outdoor Wall Tiles

Outdoor wall tiles let you create an outdoor space that is functional and striking where you can recuperate from a long day’s work, recharge during lunch or spend time with friends and family. It is easy to maintain and can be curated into a striking design element of your home.

  • Earthy tones matched with vibrant natural colours like blues and greens follow the trend of wellness design that is gaining traction during the pandemic. They are relaxing and evoke images of sky, sea, forest and mountains. Nature has proven healing effects, so designing your home to elicit feelings of being in nature benefits your health. The colours and textures can be curated to fit any design vision.
  • Creating an eye-catching focal wall with abstract geometric patterns serves as an artsy design element and can liven up a dull area. Timber look tiles arranged in a classic herringbone design is chic and timeless while eliciting feelings of warmth and peace. Unique patterns created with bright, vibrant colours grab your attention and adds modern style to timeless design.
  • Create flow by selecting exterior wall tiles that complement your interior style. A managed colour scheme that flows from the indoors outside creates a feeling of openness and space.

Tips for Choosing Exterior Wall Tiles

Functionality is just as important as style when choosing exterior wall tiles. You want tiles that will stand up to the harsh Australian climate. The tiles used on the patio won’t be the same as the ones used by the swimming pool.

  • Porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles are excellent choices for outdoor spaces because they are durable, weather-resistant, and come in a wide variety of colours and textures. Ceramic tiles are the cheaper choice but can’t handle the elements as well as porcelain tiles.
  • In areas that get a lot of moisture, porcelain tiles are better than ceramic because they are denser and almost waterproof with a water absorption rate of only 0,5%. Ceramic tiles are better suited to covered areas like patios.
