Achieve the Luxury Look for Less with Tiles

We all want to make our homes feel more luxurious. However, there is a misconception that you need a big budget to make this possible. At Tileshack, we believe you can make your home feel high-end without breaking the bank. When used correctly, tiles are a simple, effective, and cost-effective way to add opulence to your home. Whether you are renovating the bathroom, kitchen, hallway or living room, our guide will show you how to achieve the luxury look for less.

Create the illusion of space

Small, cramped spaces are usually not associated with luxury. However, certain tiles can make your room feel bigger and more grand.

Whether you’re updating a compact kitchen, a small bathroom or an ensuite, use large format tiles that are square or rectangle-shaped in a uniform grid pattern. This will create the illusion of more space, as it will elongate the floor and produce fewer distracting grout lines. You should also opt for light-coloured, gloss tiles as these will reflect the light to make the room feel bigger, brighter, and airy.

Focus on a specific area

Achieve the luxury look on a budget by identifying one key area of the room for tiling; this is less expensive than tiling the whole room. Focusing on the little details is also a high-end look.

For example, tiling your kitchen backsplash with some opulent-looking tiles is a quicker and more affordable way to transform your kitchen. Creating a feature wall in your bathroom will have the same effect. Highlight natural focal points such as your vanity area, bath, or shower enclosure with an accent tile to enhance your décor. Or if a room has awkward corners or alcoves, accentuate them with tiles.

Statement floor tiles are another effective way to achieve a luxurious look without tiling the whole room. Choose a tile with a premium finish that complements your existing décor. Not sure what tile to choose? Read on to discover the lushest tiles in our collection.

Choose the right tile

A Tileshack, we offer a wide range of luxurious, affordable tiles. Which one you choose will depend on your taste and design requirements.

Marble tiles

Most often found in high-end spaces, marble is the go-to material if you are looking for luxury. However, natural marble comes with a hefty price tag. We stock a wide range of elegant marble effect tiles in different shapes and sizes. These tiles capture the veining and colours of real marble, so you won’t be able to tell it’s not the real thing! Made from porcelain, ceramic or glass, these tiles are durable and more suitable for high-traffic areas than real marble. They are resistant to wear and tear and are less likely to pick up stains.

You can use our marble tiles for walls and floors in any room, although we recommend porcelain for floor tiles. Choose light-coloured marble to make a room feel bigger, brighter, and warmer. Light marble also works wonderfully with wood tones, so pair it with a wood effect tile if you have the budget. For modern opulence, use a darker coloured marble tile.

Another advantage of marble is its versatility. Accessories can be used to dress up marble in many ways. Whether you want a glamorous look or sleek & modern vibes, head over to our sister site Bathshack to shop for bathroom accessories such as taps and lighting.

Wood effect tiles

Wood effect tiles allow you to incorporate the authentic appearance of luxury hardwood floors for a fraction of the price. These tiles also look great as a luxurious feature wall or accent tile, especially when contrasted with a lighter colour such as white marble. Create a rustic backsplash, tile the wall around your fireplace, or enhance your shower enclosure. Wood effect tiles are highly durable and require less maintenance than natural wood. They are scratch-resistant, easy to clean and won't warp from heat or moisture.

Stone effect tiles

Stone exudes luxury as it adds depth and organic texture to a space. It is perfect for creating the feel of a high-end spa in your bathroom! Our stone effect tiles look just like natural stone, but without the cost and upkeep of the real thing. These tiles can be used for both walls and floors. Choose between traditional square and rectangle tiles, or use a mosaic for a feature wall or backsplash. If you want to maintain an organic theme throughout the room, pair with a wood effect tile.

Gloss tiles

With a clean, smooth finish, gloss tiles add instant glamour to a kitchen or bathroom. As they reflect the light, you can use them in a small room to create the illusion of more space.

Pattern tiles

Pattern tiles are perfect for affordable & luxurious flooring. There are many beautiful styles to choose from, so you can opt for a bold accent tile or a more subtle, traditional design. We love these Marrakech tiles as they bring Moroccan luxury to a room. Or, if you are looking for period-style elegance, we recommend these Hydraulic Rose tiles.

Black tiles

One interior trend that’s been becoming more and more popular is the black tile. The idea of black tiles may sound dark and gloomy, but the opposite is true! Depending on what kind of black tiles you use and how you lay them, you can achieve a striking look that’s very modern and opulent. For a luxurious look in your bathroom, tile your shower enclosure with black metro tiles and white grout, then contrast with a white marble tile. Finish with brass fixtures from Bathshack for added glamour.
