When it comes to designing a home that stands the test of time, few materials can match the elegance and versatility of Italian tiles. Known across the globe for their craftsmanship, durability, and stunning designs, Italian tiles bring a touch of sophistication to any space. Whether you’re giving your kitchen, bathroom, or living area a makeover, here’s how to use these tiles to craft a timeless look that never goes out of fashion.
Timeless design begins with a foundation that won’t date. Italian tiles in neutral shades—like crisp whites, soft beiges, warm greys, or deep blacks—create a versatile backdrop for any room. For instance, a glossy white porcelain tile can brighten up a bathroom, while a matte grey floor tile lends subtle elegance to a kitchen. At Total Look Tiles, our Italian porcelain collections, such as the White Glossy Porcelain Tiles, offer classic finishes that work beautifully with both modern and traditional décor.
Pro Tip: Go for large-format tiles, like our Large Format Grey Porcelain, to reduce grout lines, giving your space a seamless, polished look that feels both current and enduring.
Italian tiles aren’t just about colour—they’re brilliant at texture too. To achieve a timeless style, opt for tiles with understated, natural textures like marble veining, stone effects, or gentle wood-grain patterns. These add depth and character without overpowering the room. A marble-look Italian tile laid in a herringbone pattern, such as our Marble Effect Mosaic Tiles, can turn a hallway into a grand entrance that’s both luxurious and ageless.
Check out our Mosaic Tile Range for a bit of artistry—ideal for feature walls or backsplashes that catch the eye without clashing with your overall design.
Patterns can lift a space, but simplicity is key to staying timeless. Classic layouts like subway, herringbone, or basketweave have been loved for generations and still shine in British homes today. Italian tiles, with their precise cuts and top-notch quality, make these patterns stand out. Imagine a subway tile backsplash in your kitchen using our Creamy Beige Porcelain Tiles—it’s a look that’s as fresh now as it was decades ago.
For floors, a checkerboard design with our Black and White Italian Tiles offers a bold yet timeless statement, perfect for everything from cosy cottages to sleek city flats.
Timeless doesn’t mean dull—it means clever. Italian tiles are famed for their durability, making them spot-on for busy areas like entrance halls or family kitchens. Choose slip-resistant options, like our Outdoor Porcelain Tiles, for patios or bathrooms to blend practicality with beauty. Our collections at Total Look Tiles are built to handle daily wear while keeping their charm for years, ensuring your investment lasts.
What makes Italian tiles special is the heritage behind them. Crafted with centuries-old know-how and modern tech, these tiles bring authenticity to your home. Let them take centre stage by keeping furniture simple—think minimalist pieces or soft, neutral rugs. A bathroom fitted with our Italian Wall Tiles, paired with a sleek vanity and warm lighting, becomes a haven that feels both posh and timeless.
Kitchen: Create a classic backsplash with our Glossy White Subway Tiles, paired with wooden cabinets for a warm, welcoming feel.
Bathroom: Use large-format grey porcelain tiles, like our Grey Porcelain Flooring, for a spa-like floor, accented with a mosaic feature wall.
Living Space: Lay down wood-effect Italian tiles, such as our Wood Effect Porcelain, for a cosy yet stylish alternative to hardwood flooring.
Beyond their beauty, Italian tiles offer unbeatable quality and versatility. At Total Look Tiles, we’re proud to be specialist importers of these cracking products, sourced straight from Italy’s top makers. Whether you’re a homeowner dreaming of a forever space or a designer hunting for inspiration, our range has something for every vision.
