Autumn Tile Inspiration

If you’re updating your bathroom tiling this autumn and are looking for inspiration in terms of styles, trends and colours, then we’re here to offer our expert guidance on the season’s top looks. Whether you’re refreshing a large bathroom, renovating a cloakroom or fitting out a bathroom for your new home, read to the end of the blog to find out more …

Vibrant, warming tile tones

Throughout 2024 the top tile trends have centred on a mixture of nature-inspired looks – think greens and rich earthy tones – as well as calming tones which evoke a relaxing spa-like space. For instance, pastels have been popular, along with neutrals. Stone-effect has also continued to be a trending style, such as marble-effect and natural stone, while vibrant cheery colours and patterns have also been popular.

So, when it comes to choosing tiles to turn your bathroom into an autumnal haven, there’s plenty to inspire in terms of style and tone. With this season associated with rich, vibrant colours, however, it’s always good to add warmth to interiors as the weather turns chillier, incorporating rich colours and textures into your décor.

If you like the idea of warming colour palettes, then a tile like the Marrakech Hexagon Tile combines a variety of rich tones which will add warmth and vibrancy to your interior. The hexagonal shape also adds visual interest while the different patterns across the tiles creates a textured look.

With a modern matt finish, these wall and floor tiles are easy to wipe clean and are an inspired choice for refreshing your bathroom or elsewhere in the home this autumn.

Another hexagonal tile with an interesting pattern and warming tone is the Hibiscus Oxide Matt Hexagon Tile, which features the Hibiscus flower and incorporates earthy tones like brown and green with orange and yellow. Again, this tile is suitable for use on both walls and floors, the pattern adding depth and visual interest while the colour palette is rich and warming.

For a different look but still delivering on the warming vibes and incorporating a nature-inspired aesthetic, the Nebraska Marron Wood-effect Tile is a great choice. This large-format floor tile has authentic graining detail and a rectangular shape which gives the appearance of timber slabs. The modern matt finish also adds to the authenticity of these tiles while the rich colour adds depth and will complement a variety of décor.

Natural Stone-effect tiling

Another popular look for the autumn is that of the tranquil spa style, so if you want to introduce some calming vibes to your bathroom then this might be the trend for you. Pastels and natural stone-effect tiling are good choices here, with marble-effect tiles giving you the luxury look of real marble but with the more cost-effective benefit of tiling.

For example, the Brasilia Emerald Polished rectified Porcelain Tile is a beautiful emerald-green tile with gold veining detail running through it to give that opulent marble aesthetic. This large-format gloss tile will add instant luxury to your bathroom – and, unlike white marble, the rich green and gold tones will bring in warmth and nature-inspired tones to make the space more welcoming. It’s also rectified, giving a more seamless look when laid and adding to that cohesive design.

If you prefer a more neutral spa-like look, however, then the Marmori Carrara Luster Poreclain Rectified Tile has a white background with subtle grey veining detail running across the tiles. This large-format wall and floor tile has a modern matt finish and is scratch and stain-resistant, being made from hard-wearing porcelain, which is ideal for humid environments. It also has rectified edges for that seamless aesthetic and will help to make your interior feel more spacious with its large size and light colour palette, while also giving that luxury marble look.

Another marble tile, which is similar in terms of colour palette but differs in shape is the Dortmund Carrara Herringbone Porcelain Tile which has a distinctive herringbone design. This smaller rectangular tile has a plank shape with a marble deign which has an eye-catching look when laid. Great for feature walls or for using across walls and floors, the Dortmund Carrara Herringbone Tile is very versatile and is made from robust porcelain, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Again, this tile has a modern matt finish and will work well alongside a range of décor, so it will add timeless elegance to your interior and last for years to come.

Pastel-perfect tiles

Adding tranquility to your bathroom with pastel tiles is another option this autumn – a great choice if you prefer to introduce a little more colour to your space.

The Palm Striped Hexagon Décor range of tiles features various pastel tones, including pink, green, yellow, marine-blue and grey. With a quirky hexagonal shape and that pale base tone, they also feature five white stripes which originate from a single point and then fan out across the tiles. You can subsequently lay the tiles in various formations, aligning the stripes in one direction or creating a starburst design by pointing them outwards, as pictured in the Palm Striped Hexagon Décor Pink Porcelain Tiles below.

Made from high-quality porcelain, these tiles are scratch and stain-resistant and are therefore very hard-wearing.

The pale colour palette will subsequently bring those calming vibes while the interesting shape adds character and style, making them another inspired choice for your home.
