Designer Tiles at MyTyles
Designer tiles come in decorative patterns, textures and surface effects, designed to add detail to the walls and floors. At MyTyles, you can explore geometric, marble-look, 3D and Moroccan tile designs. These tiles can introduce surface variations to the floor and wall layouts with both smooth and textured finish options. There is a range of materials available, including ceramic, vitrified, porcelain, glass, fusion, metal, and shell. Depending on the individual product's suitability, the designer tiles can be used for walls and floors of bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and selected exterior applications.
Applications Of Designer Tiles
Designer tiles can be considered for different wall and floor applications. However, the intended application depends on the surface, the room conditions, and the product's rated application.
- Floors: Selected designer floor tiles can be considered for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, passages, and entrance foyers. Latest tile designs for floor options include marble-look tiles, geometric layouts, and vitrified tile designs in stone and concrete finishes. For wet floors, check the product’s stated application before ordering.
- Walls: Designer wall tiles are used to create pattern, texture, and colour effects on vertical surfaces. Choose geometric, relief and stone-inspired designs to add to bathroom feature walls, kitchen backsplashes and accent panels in living rooms, depending on the suitability of the product.
- Bathrooms: Bathroom applications are special and need special consideration of product suitability. However, bathroom wet areas need an appropriate waterproofing system. For wet floors, slope and drainage also need to be planned separately from the tile.
- Kitchens: The tile designs for kitchen applications include designer backsplash tile options in geometric, Moroccan, subway, and relief formats. For kitchen floors, the slip resistance information and product suitability should be confirmed before ordering.
- Outdoors: Modern exterior wall tile options are available for building facades, boundary walls, and covered outdoor surfaces. For open outdoor applications with direct rain and sun exposure, confirm the outdoor suitability.
Designer Tile Designs
The tile designs at MyTyles span several distinct design directions across the available catalogue. Here are the brief descriptions for each.
- Geometric wall tiles are shaped in a repeated pattern, including hexagonal, interlocking, and more. They form graphic surfaces on walls that are structured.
- Marble-look tiles reproduce the veining, tonal variation, and visual characteristics of natural marbles in a ceramic or vitrified tile body.
- 3D wall tiles have raised, recessed or three-dimensional designs made in the form of tiles. The texture generates a 3D effect and creates shadows that shift depending on the light direction.
- Moroccan tile designs have many patterns involved, including geometrical patterns and interlocking patterns, using a broad colour palette.
- Border tile design options are used to frame larger tile layouts, define zones within a floor, or create decorative transitions between different tile surfaces. Available in several widths and pattern formats.
- Patterned backsplash tile options cover geometric, floral, and abstract designs used on kitchen and bathroom wall sections.
Available Materials in Designer Tiles
Designer tiles have various material options, including ceramic, glass, porcelain, metal, vitrified, fusion and shell. The material is one of the factors that affects how the tile will be used. Therefore, specifications for individual products must be checked before use.
- Porcelain: Porcelain tiles have a dense, compact tile body. Depending on the different wall and floor applications, the product suitability must be checked.
- Vitrified: The very high-temperature treatment gives vitrified tiles a dense tile body and low porosity. They can be considered for interior surfaces, but the product suitability for the intended application must be checked before purchase.
- Ceramic: Ceramic tiles have a clay-based tile body. It is shaped and fired at high temperatures. The water absorption, density and application can vary for each product.
Available Finishes and Colours in Designer Tiles
Designer tiles are made in a variety of finishes and colours. These factors affect how the tile looks and feels after installation.
Designer Tile Finishes
The designer tile finishes are available in matt, rustic, sugar, metallic, glossy, high-gloss, and satin. Here is a brief description for each.
- Carving Tiles: Carved tiles have surface detailing that gives depth and dimension to the tile design.
- Sugar: This finish is very fine, like sugar. It provides variation to the colour tones and character to the designs on the tiles.
- Metallic: Metallic-finished tiles provide a bit of shimmer on the surface of the tile. They add a decorative feel to the installed area.
- Glossy: The glossy tile surface is smooth to touch; it gives strong reflection when light falls on it.
- Matt: Matt tiles are not as shiny. The surface texture varies from smooth to textured. They add softness to the tile design.
Disclaimer: For floor applications, check the individual product's stated suitability and any available slip-resistance information. A matt or textured appearance alone does not confirm slip resistance.
Designer Tile Colours
Designer tiles at MyTyles are available in a wide range of colours. These include neutral tones, warm tones, and cool tones. There are multicolour patterned options in Moroccan and geometric designs.
- Neutral tones such as white, cream, beige, and grey designer tiles are soft and can be used with a range of colours, furnishings and interior directions.
- Warm tones such as brown, terracotta, and sand-toned designer tiles can be used with a neutral or warm colour palette. Their warm-coloured outdoor tiles complement the natural surroundings.
- Bold and dark tones such as black, deep blue, and dark green decorative tiles can be considered for the feature walls, accent floor sections, and contemporary interior settings.

How To Choose Designer Tiles
Choosing designer tiles involves a balance of visual characteristics and practical aspects. Before you make your final purchase, you have to think about technical aspects such as tile material, tile finish, application rating, and layout requirements.
Selection factor | What to Consider |
|---|---|
| Surface & Application | Identify whether the tile is intended for a floor or wall. Different areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, exterior walls, etc. may have different requirements. For floors, check specified slip-resistance information. |
| Finish | Consider the appearance and intended use of the finish. For bathrooms and wet floors, check application and slip resistance specifications rather than selecting by finish alone. |
| Material | Tile materials differ in tile-body composition, density, water absorption, and other technical characteristics. Compare the material characteristics with the intended application and confirm the individual product’s suitability. |
| Layout & Quantity | The layout must be planned by paying attention to the tile size, alignment of the pattern, cuts at room edges, and feature or border pieces. |
