Tiles for tiny spaces
Tiles for tiny spaces
Do you have a small space in your home you’re looking to add a little life to? It could be a kitchen cubby, a reading nook, utility closet, archway, or porch, a small spot can make a big impact so here are some tile shapes and styles to inspire you to get creative.
Penny Mosaics
Mini bubbles of joy, penny mosaics’ tiny shape and versatile format is perfect for compact places. Rows of small circles add subtle intrigue that can be elevated with colourful grout and customised with patterns made from switched-out shades. Our classic white Penny Round White tiles in gloss and matt offer understated elegance, perfect for gracing interiors with both modern and traditional styling. Making the most of the natural beauty of organic textures, our various Penny Round mosaic tiles in Basalt, Carrara Marble, Ming Green, Blush, and more are designed for delicate detail.
Classic Squares
A bold colour in a classic shape can go a long way in a tiny space. Our Urban Atelier collection offers a huge range of 48 shades in a simple 100 by 100mm format, matching a variety of interior styles and colour schemes. Select vibrant sunshine shades of Salmao, Ambar, or Tangerina, create a checkerboard in contrasting Safira and Marfim, produce an ombre of greens with Menta, Bosque, Verde Garaffa, and Verde Nero, or choose stripes by alternating Encarnado and Celeste.
Matchstick Mosaics
Perfect for rounding curves and playing with perspective, matchstick mosaics are the dream tile for a tiny space. Stack them horizontally to emphasise width, lay them vertically to add visual height, and allow their thin shape to glide effortlessly over curving shapes or interior arches. Our massive range of matchstick mosaics includes the timeless Bolzano Glass Sticks Arabescato, the unique natural stone tones of our Colosseum collection, the unusual concave textures of London, the terrazzo-effect Riviera, and the simple neutrals of Helsinki and Supotto.
Baby Hex
Tiny hexagons on mosaic sheets offers a penny mosaic look with a few extra angles. Our Honeycomb collection features two super small hexagon mosaics in matt and gloss white as well as a larger format with a gloss white and matt option in both white and black. Laid together the white and black create a striking feature whilst a soft, gentle look is achieved in white.
Herringbone
Matchstick mosaics with extra angular finesse, herringbone mosaics offer another design dimension to exploit in a small space. This pointed pattern can be achieved with layout, such as in our Carrara Herringbone or Pietra Lavica Herringbone, or with chevrons like those featured in our Basalt Slim tiles with both styles creating a sense of movement and direction for a mini statement.
