Living Room Wall Tile Ideas

Are you looking for inspiration for living room wall tile ideas? In this article, we cover various applications, including different design styles, how to create a tile accent wall for a living room and what to remember when designing tiled wall surfaces for small spaces.

When it comes to aesthetics, porcelain living room tiles offer several options for effects and colours. They can be used for both modern and more traditional interiors, creating a feeling of luxury thanks to their smooth, streamlined surfaces.

Together with exceptional durability, porcelain tiles are also easy to clean, making it easy to remove any dust or dirt on walls as needed.

Also, porcelain tiles offer moisture and stain resistance, which means they will not easily warp or lose their brilliant colours.

An accent wall offers a perfect opportunity to create a distinct focal point in a living room. Various materials can be considered for this purpose, including 3D tiles that will give walls extra depth and even make smaller rooms feel bigger. Whether you prefer just one texture, such as wood effect tiles, or want to use materials in matching colours and patterns, our collection of wall tiles offers several options for textured finishes, allowing to add extra sophistication.

Stone effect tiles, such as slate-, travertine -or limestone effect tiles in neutral tones are fantastic ways to create calm living room spaces. They can be used for fireplace walls, thanks to their heat resistance, and can be used behind sofa areas to create bespoke wall surfaces.

Our Boost Icor collection, which mimics the look of natural limestone, is a classic example of how you can use beautiful neutral colours as well as textures to create welcoming, inviting atmospheres in living rooms.

Marble effect tiles are great for minimalist or elegant spaces. They can be used in so many ways, such as singular wall designs or for impactful statement walls that are matched with other tiles. Our Marvel X collection offers several chic options, including décor tiles which can be used to create borders or unique designs.

You can consider half wall tile designs for living rooms as an additional option to create walls with texture, more depth and interest. Several styles can be considered, including combining mosaic tiles or coloured tiles with solid block colours, and using large format tiles in lighter colours matched with smaller, darker ones.

Another way to bring the half-wall style to life is by decorating the top part of the walls with textured walls and using smoother tiles for the bottom part of these surfaces.

A key result to aim for when designing walls for small living rooms is to use materials and shades that will make these rooms feel more spacious. Light tones and smooth finishes are key ways that you can use simple wall tile design for a living room that will create a sense of openness, so consider using classic white or beige tiles for this purpose.

Also, remember that large-format tiles and stacked horizontal patterns can widen the visual space of your design. If you're looking for more inspiration or want to explore different layout options, take a look at our guide to tile layout patterns.

Add extra visual appeal by using patterned tiles in lighter colours, such as our Aplomb collection, which offers beautiful cream patterned tiles, among others.

Keep the following tips in mind for your sitting room wall tiles design:

• Decide on a colour palette that matches your furniture and other living room accessories.

• Consider the tile effect. Lighter coloured tiles are especially suited for smaller living rooms and will make them feel bigger and airier. Also, if the living room you are designing walls for does not get a lot of sunlight, brighter tiles should be a first consideration.

• Grout colour can have a big impact on how your tiles will look once they are applied to walls. Always try to match the grout colour with the tiles to ensure your walls look uniform and neat.

• Keep your wall layout in mind when choosing the size of your wall tiles. If your walls have arches or slim entryway wall sections, you might need more than one size of tile, so consider whether you can mix and match styles for an interesting effect.

• Coordinate your choice of wall tiles with your living room flooring to give it a uniform look. For more inspiration, explore our top living room floor ideas to complete the perfect space.

• If you want to create a seamless design flow from the living room to the rest of the home, consider using similar colour tones that will match existing ones.
