Organic tile tone inspiration

Whether you like warm, rich tones or prefer something more muted, the ongoing trend for organic décor means there are lots of great tile choices when it comes to this theme.

So, whether you’re planning a renovation or simply want to revamp your existing tiles, we’re here to give you some inspiration for organic tile looks you won’t want to miss out on. Read the full blog below to see what our top picks are …

The organic look encompasses natural tones, while you can add texture and interest with tile patterns and shapes.

Key features of the organic style

Inspired by the natural world, the organic look is all about earthy browns, greens, soft greys and other nature-inspired tones, so you can get creative as to how you interpret this trend. Meanwhile, although it is a trend, the beauty of the organic aesthetic is that it’s also quite timeless, so most tiles which meet this spec won’t look dated in a few years’ time. They also tend to go well with a wide range of décor, so this is a look which gives you plenty of options when it comes to mixing and matching your bathroom-ware.

You can further add a contemporary edge by opting for modern matt or soft satin finishes, as well as visually interesting tile shapes and patterns.

Embracing the softer side of nature

Combining both a contemporary style with the more gentle tones associated with the organic look, the Piano Grey Mosaic Sheet is a designer mosaic tile with a thin, rectangular shape reminiscent of piano keys – hence the name. With a smooth gloss finish and soft light grey colour with subtle speckling detail, these tiles will add instant elegance to your bathroom and a sleek, modern aesthetic.

The grey tone will also complement a range of décor, so these are a versatile choice, while you can lay them vertically or horizontally, depending on which look you prefer. You could also lay them both ways within the same room if you wanted to add further visual interest and depth.

Another take on the organic tile trend, but with a gentle hint of colour, is the Mijas Celeste Pattern Tile in Blue. With a pale blue background and grid aesthetic, it also features a delicate white petal design which emerges from each corner of the white lined squares. This adds visual interest and depth to the tiles, while the blue and white tones evoke the outdoors with imagery of the sea and sky.

The Mijas Celeste Pattern Tile comes in a modern matt finish which gives it a contemporary look and it can be used on both walls and floors, so is a versatile option for your bathroom. Perfect if you want to create a relaxed, calming vibe – as blue is known for being a soothing colour – the Mijas Celeste Pattern Tile will bring the organic tile trend into your space in a softer, more subtle way. The blue and white colour palette will also complement a range of décor so is a good all-round choice.

Organic curves

Looking at the organic tile trend from another perspective, aside from the colour palette, this aesthetic also extends to the type of patterning and shape of the tiles. For example, the Tadan Bone Decor Rectified Tile is an inspired choice as it features a minimalist cream background with a wave pattern spread across the surface of these rectangular tiles.

As a large-format, rectified tile with more precise edges the Tadan can be laid closely together to minimise the appearance of grout lines, creating a more seamless look. Reminiscent of the organic shapes found in nature, the undulating waves of this pattern create a flowing effect which draws the eye across the tiles. This adds visual interest as well as depth and texture so, although this tile may at first appear to quite minimalist in style, it actually has a lot going on, with a modern matt finish adding to the natural look.

Delivering an elegant aesthetic and with a colour palette that will easily align with any other décor in your bathroom, the Tadan Bone Décor Rectified Tile is a great choice if you want a contemporary, organic style for your interior.

A tile which embraces the organic aesthetic through its shape, meanwhile, is the Atlantis Blue Mosaic Sheet, which has a fish-scale or scallop effect look. This designer wall tile has a smooth gloss finish and can be laid with the curved part of the tile either facing downwards or upwards, depending on which you prefer.

The interlocking style of these tiles results in a layered appearance which gives a textured aesthetic and will add character to your bathroom, along with that eye-catching blue colour.

Vibrant vibes to make your bathroom 'pop'

If the bolder look is your preferred style, however, then the Gemstone Emerald White Body Tile is a metro-style tile with a rich mossy-green tone which will bring some vibrancy to your bathroom. With the distinctive rectangular metro or subway-style shape, these tiles have a gloss finish so have a subtle sheen, while the deep emerald tone adds depth and is visually very eye-catching.

With green continuing to be a trending tone in 2024, these tiles perfectly combine two top trends and will breathe new life into your bathroom. They’re also non-rectified, so have a more natural aesthetic in this regard, without the precision of very straight edges.

With a busier pattern and mixing multiple earthy shades, the Hibiscus Oxide Matt Hexagon Tile has a nature-inspired aesthetic with its honeycomb shape, while the colour palette combines organic amber, honey and brown tones. The pattern, meanwhile, features the hibiscus flower and leaf design, which creates visual interest and adds depth to these tiles.

As a larger hexagonal tile, the Hibiscus is ideal if you want to create a statement in your bathroom and can be used on both walls and floor. Ideal for creating a feature area, you can also tile the full floor, as pictured, for a dramatic effect, while you can easily match your bathroom-ware and surrounding décor to these nature-inspired tones.

With a modern matt finish, the Hibiscus Oxide Tile will add instant character to your interior and is a tile which will certainly bring the wow factor to any space.
