Patterned tiles are suitable for:

  • Kitchens and dining areas
  • Bathrooms and wet rooms
  • Hallways and entrances

✅ What styles are trending in patterned tiles?

✅ What grout is best for patterned floor tiles?

Choose a colour that complements or contrasts with the pattern. Mould-resistant, flexible grout is ideal for high-traffic or wet areas. Narrow joints help preserve the design’s impact.

✅ Do I need tile trims for patterned tiles?

Yes—trims protect exposed edges and give a clean finish, especially around thresholds or transitions. Choose neutral or metallic trims to frame your patterned layout.

✅ How do I clean and maintain patterned tiles?

Patterned tiles are easy to maintain. Sweep regularly and clean with a pH-neutral tile cleaner to preserve colours and prevent grime buildup. Avoid abrasive tools that may dull the surface.
