Go for gold with tiles

If you want to add an instant luxury look to your home, then gold is the perfect choice, as this rich vibrant tone is associated with opulence and will bring classic glamour to any space. Whether you decide to use gold tiles as a statement feature or prefer a more minimal look by simply adding a pop of colour alongside contrasting décor, gold is very versatile.

From deep golden tones and lighter colour palettes, to gloss or matt finishes, there are lots of options when it comes to adding a little gilt to your home. You can go as glitz and glamour as you like, for example, by creating statement walls with solid gold tiling or adding in a gloss or sheen effect. Alternatively, you can use gold more sparsely, through patterned tiles or gold veining to achieve a more understated look.

Whether you want it as the focal tone of your tiles or would like to thread a little glamour throughout the design more discreetly, there are all sorts of ways to go for gold ...

Glossy gold mosaics

With a gloss finish and suitable for both interior and exterior walls, the Delta Gold Mosaic Sheet is a designer tile that will create a real statement. Eye-catching in its design and colour palette, the porcelain material is highly durable so, while the overall effect is one of elegant beauty, this is a tile that will stand the test of time.

Gold tiles like the Delta Gold Mosaic Sheet pictured above can add instant warmth and glamour to your home.

Arranged in a chevron tile-inspired format, the distinctive V-shape design, which incorporates occasional contrasting darker gold and white tiles, creates a pleasing symmetry which is striking both in pattern and tone. The golden hues add depth to the space as well as warm undertones and will complement a range of décor, making it a versatile choice for your home. Meanwhile, the gloss finish conveys a very luxury look.

Ideal for creating a beautiful feature wall, the overall effect is one of classic style – there is a suggestion of opulence here, but this is achieved in a tasteful way with the paler gold of the main tiles and those alternating contrast tones in between.

If the block gold colour palette of the Delta Gold Mosaic isn’t quite to your taste, however, then consider the Adaggio Calcatta Gold Bevel Metro Tile in White Ceramic, which uses gold in a more subtle way. Ideal if you want to add a hint of luxury to your room without going all-out gold, it has a popular metro tile style which can be laid in a variety of ways, depending on your particular preference.

With a white gloss ceramic background, the Adaggio Calcatta design has a pale gold marble effect running across the tiles, which gives them a graceful appearance. There is a spa-like vibe to this look, which is calming and adds a feeling of luxury. The neutral colour palette is also one which can be easily paired with a wide range of other shades, while the gold is pale and sparse enough that it won’t overpower contrasting colours.

Penny-shaped tiles

Following a similar aesthetic but with a very different shape, the Penny Calacatta Gold Matt Non-slip Mosaic Sheet consists of small circular white glass tiles with gold veining.

Great for wet areas, the high-quality glass material adds strength to the tiles while the mosaic layout creates a distinctive and very eye-catching appearance. The matt finish also adds a softness to the design and there is once again a calming and relaxing vibe to these tiles with the natural colour palette.

Penny-shaped tiles like the Calacatta Gold Matt style above have a distinctive look, with this design more minimal with golden veining.

Again, this is a good choice if you want to introduce a subtle hint of gold into a room but don’t want to use it as the feature colour. Alternatively, you may have gold as a central tone elsewhere in furniture or accessories, in which case, these tiles will complement this décor perfectly.

In contrast to the minimal gold veining of the Calacatta tiles, the Penny Stoneglass Gold Mosaic Sheet has an all-gold colour palette in that same striking penny-shaped design. With contrasting dark and light gold tones, the overarching effect is one of luxury style and timeless elegance which will look great as a feature piece on a wall or flowing across the floor.

Again, the rich golden tones will add warmth and depth to the room, while the high-quality glass finish gives these tiles durability, as well as an attractive but subtle sheen. This is a tile that will instantly elevate your room, marrying classic style with a very contemporary design.

The Penny Stoneglass Gold Mosaic Sheet will bring timeless elegance to your home with its warm honey-gold tones.

As you can see, if you want to add a timeless elegance to your home, then gold tiles are an inspired choice, as they won’t easily date and are incredibly versatile in terms of complementing existing décor. From rich warming honey tones to paler golden hues, you can add a gilded look to your home in many ways, so why not give gold a go and see first-hand how it can transform your space …?
