12 Tiles of Christmas
Over the 12 Days of Christmas, Tileshack gave to me…one tile from each category!
Ever wondered what kind of tiles we stock here at Tileshack? Here is a breakdown of 12 types of tile we offer including our top pick from each – one for every day of Christmas.
1st Day of Christmas…Metro Tiles
Metro tiles are a timeless classic, which makes them one of the most popular tile choices. They are very versatile, as they work in traditional and modern bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories, and wet rooms.
Our top pick is the Metro Verde Bottle Green Biselado. It brings some festive-inspired colour to your space, so when the tree comes down in January, you’ll still have some greenery to enjoy. It also adds retro glamour to your bathroom or provides a striking backsplash for your kitchen.
2nd Day of Christmas…Mosaics
Mosaic tiles are a classic design trend that’s stood the test of time. Whether you're looking for a traditional or modern look, our Mosaics are a great way to enhance your bathroom or kitchen. Use them to highlight certain areas of the room.
This Christmas, we really love the Hex XL Denim Copper Mosaic Sheet. Light blue, grey and copper hues delicately sweep across the tiling to create a stunning organic look, giving your space the designer makeover it deserves.
3rd Day of Christmas…Pattern
Looking to spruce up your kitchen, bathroom, or fireplace? Look no further than a pattern tile. These tiles will give any room a lift, making them perfect for a feature wall or statement floor.
Stars are not just for a Christmas tree. Taking inspiration from classic Mediterranean tiles, the Star Blue Pattern Tile will make a statement in any home. They are suitable for walls and floors, so you can use them any way you wish!
4th Day of Christmas…Wood Effect
Want the look of luxury hardwood without the price tag and upkeep? Wood effect tiles are the perfect solution. These tiles replicate natural wood but are more durable, resistant to moisture, lower maintenance and more affordable.
Warm wood tones will also make your home feel cosy and more inviting this festive season. So if you like cosy log cabin vibes at Christmas, keep it going all year round with a wood effect tile. Our top pick is the Nebraska Marron Wood Effect Tile.
5th Day of Christmas…Marble
Marble effect tiles are timeless and opulent. If you are looking for luxury, they are a perfect choice! Marble also reflects the light, creating a warm glow and making the room look bigger and cleaner. They can be used anywhere in the home such as your entryway, kitchen, or bathroom and are a fantastic way to add layers of texture to an all-white room.
Create cosy vibes in your home this festive season with the Lancelot Gold Decor Matt Tile. The tile is the height of modern luxury. The delicate white marble effect is incredibly elegant, while the textured surface adds visual interest and depth to a room.
6th Day of Christmas…Rectified Tiles
Rectified tiles are cut to near-exact measurements with a near-perfect straight edge. This means they can be laid closer together, resulting in a minimal grout joint. It makes your floor or wall look like one large, tiled area for a seamless finish. It also makes it easier to keep your floor clean, which is ideal if you are hosting lots of visitors or cooking this Christmas.
The Diesel Oxide Matt Porcelain Tile is a real Christmas cracker! It features an interesting mix of dark blue, copper, grey, and black stone grains to create a statement look, with a satin finish that amplifies its organic quality.
7th Day of Christmas…Large Format Tiles
Large format wall tiles will make any room look sleek and sophisticated. They create fewer grout lines so they are quicker to install and make a small room appear bigger. They are also much easier to keep clean than smaller tiles, which is ideal for this busy time of year.
Add the River Grey Tile to your Christmas stocking. The soft grey colour is highly versatile, so they fit into any design scheme and work well with a range of colours. They are also very durable and hardwearing – perfect for withstanding the Christmas chaos!
8th Day of Christmas…Hex Tile
Treat yourself to a home makeover this Christmas with an eye-catching hex tile! With their unusual shape, they add some unique character to any room. For this reason, they have become a go-to choice in recent years.
Bold, beautiful and stylish, the Palm Striped Blue Hexagon Tile will rejuvenate your home. Its geometric striped design is timeless, so it fits perfectly into contemporary or traditional settings. The blue finish also brings refreshing colour without being overpowering.
9th Day of Christmas…Kitchen Floor Tiles
If you’re tiling the kitchen floor before the holidays, go for a dark tile. Not only will they modernise your kitchen, but they can also hide dirt, dust, water spots, and hair. This is ideal during the busy festive season when you may not have as much time to wash the floor.
Our top pick is the Esagono Nero. This is one of our bestselling tiles, and it’s not hard to see why. It is a bold hex tile that will stand out in a contemporary kitchen and has an easy-to-clean, quick-wipe surface. It is also constructed from durable, glazed porcelain - perfect for keeping a floor as good as new!
10th Day of Christmas…Stone
If you fancy a spa getaway this festive season, add some stone to your bathroom! It may come as a surprise, but stone also has a warming effect on a room to help you feel relaxed and cosy this winter. Natural stone is expensive and requires a lot of maintenance, but our stone effect tiles are much more cost-effective and hardwearing.
The delicate detailing on our Tadan Bone Decor Tile creates the illusion of authentic natural stone. The grooved textures and cream finish will create depth in both bright and shadowy areas, and their versatile quality means they work with almost any colour scheme.
11th Day of Christmas…Ceramic
You can't go wrong with a ceramic tile. It is one of the more affordable flooring materials, which is great for tight budgets this time of year.
The Blanco Mate White Matt Tile is one of our most affordable ceramic tiles. They don’t compromise on style, as they are very elegant and can be styled in many ways. For example, you can lay them vertically or horizontally and use dark grout for a contemporary look.
12th Day of Christmas…Porcelain
Porcelain tiles are dense, very durable, and scratch resistant. They are also less porous than other kinds of tile, which prevents them from becoming stained and mouldy.
The Caracalla Silver Tile will add a touch of luxury to any bathroom. Its soft grey colour and organic texture create a feeling of tranquillity for a relaxing bath over Christmas. It has been manufactured from high-grade porcelain, so it’s very hardwearing and durable.
