If you’re after a luxury feature that’s stylish and easy to live, then you’ll love the different options we have on offer:

1.  Natural Marble Tiles

Eastern Black, Carrara, and Thassos marble tile in this exquisite collection bring opulence to private residences and commercial settings. Using oversized cuts, the natural veining pattern seen on options like White Gray 12x24 Polished Field Calacatta Gold Marble Tile and White 12x24 Polished Field Bianco Carrara Marble Tile flows more seamlessly across floors and walls, creating well-appointed entryways, living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.

2.  Ceramic Subway Tiles

Glazed ceramic subway wall tiles are a cornerstone of contemporary design, valued for their unparalleled versatility. The simple rectangular shape creates a structured look that works well in modern kitchens and bathrooms. Whether installed in classic brick pattern or updated layouts like vertical straight stack or herringbone, these contemporary tiles can stretch out narrow walls, making a space seem larger than it really is. Their reflective glossy finish further enhances this effect by enveloping the room with a bright, radiant glow.

3.  Terrazzo-Look Tiles

Terrazzo-look tiles emulate poured cement-based terrazzo flooring through a contemporary lens. Their large-format design allows the signature speckled pattern to spread evenly across surfaces, resulting in a more refined and intentional appearance. For fabulous feature floors, consider Charcoal Gray 24x24 Matte Square Porcelain Large Format Tile.

4.  Stone-Look Tiles

Beautifully understated and quietly luxurious, stone-look ceramic and porcelain contemporary tile captures the organic texture and tonal variation of natural stone. In large formats, these wall and flooring adornments are a dream to use in traditional, modern, rustic, industrial, and Japandi-inspired settings, giving the room they inhabit an architectural, grounded feel. Their matte finish is irresistibly smooth, just the type of surface that’s easy to live with and one your guests will definitely notice.

5.  Marble-Look Tiles

Made from porcelain with precise, rectified edges, marble look tile is a beautiful yet practical choice: high-end, hardwearing, and easy to care for. These contemporary floor tiles enhance the sense of continuity and openness, while imparting a polished look that aligns with today’s lifestyle. Unlike authentic marble, no sealing is needed to keep your surfaces spick and span!

6.  Wood-Look Tiles

When it comes to authentic, natural living, nothing beats hardwood tile. Available in porcelain, marble, and ceramic, these contemporary tiles mimic the appearance of genuine timber, everything from its light and dark shades, grain patterns, and life-like knots. They’ll give your home a dose of monumental style, whether your taste leans towards minimalist, eclectic, or somewhere in between.

7.  Linen-Look Tiles

Contemporary floor tiles don’t come more lavish than Beige 24x48 Textured Porcelain Large Format Tile and Black 24x48 Textured Porcelain Large Format Tile. Richly textured and highly durable, these linen-look porcelain tiles set the foundation for a sublime space. They are the type of flooring that always gets the right kind of compliments, whether installed in the living room, kitchen, or bathroom, hotel, café, or wellness center.

Common Applications for Contemporary Wall & Floor Tiles

Characterized by sober designs, large sizes, and elegant colors, our contemporary tiles find their place throughout residential and commercial spaces. As kitchen tile, they add decorative panache to the backsplash or floor, while providing a resilient and splashproof surface.

In the bathroom, contemporary tile that looks like marble, hardwood, and terrazzo makes its mark on the vanity backsplash, floor, tub surround, or shower walls. The large dimensions create visual continuity, simplify maintenance, and, most importantly, add character without cluttering the room. Matte and textured contemporary bathroom tile options are favored for their slip-resistant properties and ability to withstand moisture and humidity.

For living rooms and open-plan areas, large-format stone look or wood look tile infuses warmth and natural splendor while maintaining a robust surface capable of withstanding bustling footsteps. Additionally, our contemporary tiles are frequently used as a fireplace or accent wall tile. Textured finishes and oversized formats add a layer of depth and interest without straying from a clean, suave design language.

Maintenance Tips for Contemporary Kitchen & Bathroom Tiles

Proper upkeep helps contemporary tile retain its appearance and performance. Ceramic, porcelain, and marble respond well to consistent, gentle cleaning. Sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent dirt and grit from scratching the tile surface. When wiping walls or mopping floors, use a mild detergent to avoid residue buildup.

Grout lines may require occasional scrubbing with a soft brush and a non-acidic cleaner to maintain their appearance. Note that marble is a porous stone and requires periodic sealing to protect against water absorption. The same care applies to cement-based grout lines.
