  • Warm Neutrals and Earthy Tones: Warm neutrals, such as sandy beige, soft gray, and pale taupe, are a welcome complement to classic and modern interiors. Consider clay tiles in earthy shades, such as Olive Green 4x4 Glossy Square Ceramic Tile, for a grounding, timeless feel.
  • Soft Whites and Light Shades: Brighten things up with soft whites and light-colored clay tile backsplash or flooring. Designs like Alabaster White 24x48 Lappato Porcelain Large Format Tile create a beautiful, airy atmosphere suitable for inviting kitchens, serene bathrooms, and modern living rooms.
  • Rich Colors and Multicolor Designs: For visual punch, lean to colored tiles. Vibrant, saturated hues, such as fuchsia pink, emerald green, scarlet red, and honey orange, add captivating color to backsplashes, accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and floors.

Choose the Right Size and Shape

Size and shape can also influence the perception of the room. Find geometric tiles in a variety of sizes to bring your dreamy ideas to life, from intricate mosaics to expansive large formats.

Small Formats and Mosaics

For an eye-catching statement, browse our small-format tiles, available in various shapes and sizes. Find picket tiles in 2x10 and 3x19 inches, subway tiles in 2x8, 2x16, 3x6, 3x12, 4x12, and 4x16 inches, and hexagon tiles in 8x9 and 10x11 inches. Ceramic and porcelain mosaic tiles are fixed to 12x12 mesh sheets for easier installation and are available in basketweave, leaf, penny, square, herringbone, and hexagon.

Bigger clay floor tiles, such as White 24x48 Matte Porcelain Large Tile, create an almost monolithic look, great for continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Select a Finish for Your Space

Apollo Tile’s clay tile collection comes in different finishes, including glossy, matte, honed, textured, and Lappato, all of which can alter how the room feels and looks.

Matte and Low-Sheen Surfaces

Matte porcelain tile is for those who love a tactile, understated aesthetic. These non-reflective wall and floor adornments diffuse light instead of reflecting it, and complement a lot of our wood, concrete, and stone looks. Even better, a matte finish provides better grip underfoot, making it a safer choice for wet areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and patios.

Glossy and Reflective Finishes

A shiny, mirror-like glaze is applied to ceramic and porcelain, giving surfaces a reflective quality that makes the rooms they adorn brighter and more spacious. Glossy clay tiles enhance color and bring a luxurious touch to kitchen backsplashes and bathroom walls. They are super easy to clean and keep pristine.

Textured and Decorative Surfaces

Clay floor tiles mimic the appearance of other materials, such as terrazzo, terracotta, hardwood, linen, and natural stones like slate, marble, and onyx. These designs are meticulously crafted with advanced inkjet printing, making luxury and high performance possible without an eye-watering price tag.

Where to Use Clay Tiles

Clay look tile applications are varied, suitable for walls and floors, indoor and outdoor, and residential and commercial spaces.

Kitchen Backsplashes

Clay tile backsplash introduces a fresh look that combines visual appeal with everyday practicality. From eye-catching patterns with plenty of decorative panache to glossy finishes that brighten, you’re sure to find the right style for your distinct taste. Our offerings are moisture-resistant, splashproof, and easy to clean and maintain.

Bathroom and Shower Walls

Clay tiles adapt to bathrooms of all styles, offering soothing colors and tactile textures for a relaxing, spa-like retreat. They can go on vanity backsplashes, bathtub surrounds, and shower walls and floors, providing a durable, water-resistant, easy-to-clean surface.

Floors and High-Traffic Spaces

Beyond walls and backsplashes, our collection provides a robust solution for high-traffic areas.

Estimate How Many Tiles You Need

Every tiling project starts with the correct measurements. Measure the length and width of the installation area, then multiply to get the total square footage. Use our online tile calculator to estimate how much material you’ll need.

Plan for Extra Material

Give yourself a little breathing room by ordering about 10-15% more tiles than you expect to use. These extras account for cuts and installation waste, ensuring you don’t run out mid-project. Keep spares for future repairs.

What Can Affect the Final Cost?

The total project cost depends on more than the price of materials. Besides tile, adhesive, and grout, factors such as surface preparation, design complexity, and local labor rates influence your budget. Compare different tile options and get installation quotes from several contractors to find the perfect fit for your project.
