Nail The Trend: Copper Tiles

Copper is very on-trend in the world of interiors right now, and for good reason. Who doesn’t love features that are bright, shiny, and sparkling? Copper finish tiles are a fantastic way to incorporate this metal accent into interior design. Our guide will show you how to use copper tiles effectively in any room of the home while suggesting colours that work best with this stunning metallic shade!

Why choose copper tiles?

Few materials can equal the depth and appeal of a stylish copper tile. Their rich, warm glow and decorative appearance will make any room feel cosy, welcoming, and opulent. They are the perfect high-end feature tile for any room in the home, be it the kitchen, bathroom, or entranceway. They are also timeless and surprisingly versatile as they work beautifully in a range of design schemes.

All our copper tiles are made from premium-grade materials which makes them durable, hardwearing, and easy to clean. No matter what copper tile you choose from our range, you can be confident that you are choosing the finest in quality!

What colours work with copper tiles?

Copper tiles are very flexible, so they work well in many colour palettes. Here are some of our favourite colour combinations to help inspire you.

1. Other copper accents

Pairing a copper tile with other copper accents will help enhance the aesthetic effect of your tiles and tie the room together. If you are tiling your kitchen, coordinate your tiles with a copper sink and tap. In the bathroom, a copper-plated bath or piece of furniture work wonderfully with a copper tile.

2. White/ neutral tones

If your colour scheme is looking a little plain and boring, copper can make it edgy and glam! Copper tiles will add warmth to an all-white or neutral room. Mixing matt white and copper tile together also creates something entirely contemporary out of two traditional colours.

3. Black tiles

Make your bathroom look and feel like a high-end spa by pairing black and copper tiles. You could use a black metro or mosaic tile in your shower enclosure or wet room, then use a copper tile around your vanity. Alternatively, complement a copper wall tile with a rectified black floor tile.

4. Wood tones

The reddish-golden hue of copper makes it an ideal partner with wood tones. We have an extensive range of brown wood effect tiles which look just like natural wood, without the cost and upkeep of the real thing. Why not pair a wood effect floor with a copper feature tile or backsplash?

Once you’ve chosen your colour palette, read on to discover the different ways a copper tile can be incorporated into your home.

A rustic backsplash

Copper is quickly becoming a popular tile choice for kitchen backsplashes, as the right copper tile will create a rustic farmhouse feel. For a traditional kitchen, pair your copper backsplash with a wood effect floor. Or for a modern look, go for a black tiled floor.

Our Devon Metallic Bronze Subway Tile is the perfect choice for a backsplash. These shimmering tiles have a dark, shadowy bronze finish. Due to their uneven surface, the light reflects off them in unique ways, so they look different from every angle. It means you will find a new detail to love every time you enter the kitchen! The irregular edges and uneven colour also give them a handcrafted appearance, creating that rustic effect.

A feature wall

An eye-catching copper tile will add instant glamour to any room in the home! We recommend using a mosaic tile with different shades of copper for that wow-factor finish.

With a contemporary design and bold colours, the Delta Copper Mosaic Sheet will make your feature wall the centrepiece of the room – it is even suitable for external walls! The chevron pattern, gloss finish and mix of copper shades give it a striking designer look. We advise pairing it with a plain tile to make it stand out and prevent overpowering the room. You could also coordinate it with other accents such as a copper or black tap.

The perfect home-spa

Have you always dreamed of having a home spa? Copper tiles can help you achieve this aesthetic without a complete bathroom renovation! Their warm shimmer and glow will make your bathroom feel more luxurious and set the right mood for unwinding after a long day. If you have a bath, you can tile the surrounding area with a copper tile to create that spa-like feel. It will also accentuate your bath, making it the standout feature of your bathroom.

The Ena Bronze Feature Wall Tile has an uneven surface which adds visual interest, opulence and dimension to your bathroom (pictured). It is perfect for both bright and dark bathrooms, as its warm metallic finish reflects light and creates shadows beautifully. They also accurately imitate real bronze, so you can achieve an extravagant look in your bathroom without the price tag of the real thing. Pair these wall tiles with large format floor tiles to create the ultimate contrast, or combine it with the Even Bronze Wall Tile to add further dimension.

Tile the whole room!

Looking to do something daring with copper tiles? Why not tile the entire wall with a large copper mosaic?

The Hex XL Denim Copper Mosaic Sheet will create a lavish look in any room of the home. It also features light blues and greys, which create a stunning organic look. Pair this tile with a wood floor, regal blues, or other copper accents.

For a brighter look, go for the Hex Habana Copper Mosaic Sheet. This tile features copper accents mixed with marble and white, creating Mediterranean villa vibes that make any room feel airy and spacious.

We have a wide range of copper tiles in a choice of designs, offering you flexibility when it comes to styling any room. From metro to mosaics, incorporating a copper tile into your design scheme will take it to the next level.
