Black Tiles

Black tiles are the ultimate neutral for a striking contrast without delving into a spectrum of colours. They are incredibly versatile to suit so many types of home designs.

When used strategically, they can help your bathroom look bigger, as black tiles always recede into the background. Black tiles for your bathroom will visually frame your shapely freestanding bath, or make your brushed gold shower sing! 

With such an array of effortlessly elegant black tiles for you to choose from, you are spoilt for choice! Whether you need a black tile for your floor or wall, we want to make sure you have the right one for your project; like stand-out black subway tiles, black splashback tiles, or patterned white and black bathroom floor tiles.

Our black tiles come in teeny tiny mosaic sizes, right up to massive slab sizes. Let the power of black mosaic patterns, or large-scale black tiles pack a punch in your space and leave an impression.

Black tiles are almost universal in style, ranging from Sleek and Modern, to Classically Elegant. It’s super easy to hit your style using black tiles. You might choose a terrazzo design for your black kitchen tiles, a large format stone design for your black tiles for floors, or a subway for your black splashback tiles.

• Black tiles create a powerful foundation for your design and décor. With a touch of the dramatic, black tiles attract attention and provide a sharp contrast with classic, white tiles to create unique, stylish patterns. Choosing black tiles can even brighten certain spaces as they brilliantly reflect light and offer a base for brighter colours to shine. Simultaneously classic and innovative, black tiles never go out of style or look dated, making them a smart choice for your next home décor project.

• It is much easier to make a black tiled bathroom or kitchen appear clean because debris and dirt are more likely to be hidden by the colour of the tile. That said, water spots and grime can show up quite easily, which is why regular cleaning of your tiles is important. To avoid watermarks as you clean, use a dry clean cloth to remove water residue and polish the tile surfaces. You will likely need to clean black tiles twice each week (or more) to prevent the build-up of streaks, marks and water spots.

• Black tiles can elevate virtually any space in your home. Some areas that can benefit from black tile designs are the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and hallway flooring. In each of these spaces, black tiling can help to create a clean, sophisticated look. As these spaces are high-traffic areas, having black tiles can be easier to keep looking good while promoting a minimalist, modern style.

• If you are looking for striking contrast for your black tiles, selecting a grout that is several shades lighter or darker than your tiles can be an effective design choice. This provides more of a pattern to your space, enhancing the effect of your tiles. Alternatively, you can create a seamless design with black or dark grey grout that complements your black tiles and never goes out of style.

• Black tiles tend to dull faster than other tile options. Fortunately, if this has happened and you are looking to make your porcelain or ceramic black tiles shine again, there is a simple solution. A combination of vinegar and water, or lemon and water, offers a natural alternative to ammonia products that will not only revitalise the tiles’ shine but disinfect and clean them, too. 
• If your black tiles are natural stone, you will need to use a ph neutral cleaner instead. Sealing your natural stone floor tiles is a must and will help to prevent inground dirt and shine retention to help you maintain your natural stone black tiles.
