Living room tiles can really make a statement in the home, adding texture and colour to the space.
Whether you’re using them to surround a fireplace, for a quirky signature wall or as an inventive alternative to carpet on your floor, tiles can enhance your living room in many ways. Wall tiles are especially effective in a living room setting and can transform it while helping you to showcase your unique sense of style.
At Bridport Glass and Tile Centre, we understand how tiles can enhance any living room and turn it from drab to fab, and we’re keen to share the secrets with you. We’ve put together a list of our 7 favourite tiles for living rooms to give you some interior inspiration for your home.
Aran Tiles: Stone Effect Porcelain
White marble tiles are popular for modern homes, while natural stone looks great in rustic-style settings. And you can get the best of both with our stone-effect porcelain Aran Tiles.
These large tiles create a virtually seamless effect, making them ideal for large living room walls. They give a beautiful look that will stand the test of time.
As they’re made from high-quality porcelain, our Aran Tiles are built to last and are easy to wipe clean, making them perfect for hectic family homes.
Blakeney Tiles: Vintage and Victorian Style
For a classic Victorian look, you can’t beat our stunning patterned Blakeney Tiles. Often used on floors, they can also be added to signature walls to create a stand-out effect.
The white and brown pattern, made up of small squares within each tile, is a classic vintage look that works well in period homes but can also be used to give new builds a traditional twist.
As ceramic matt tiles, these products are durable and can be wiped clean, which is why they’re ideal for floors, particularly in high-traffic areas like your living room.
Allure Tiles: Classic White Marble Effect
For fans of social media, marble is the ultimate home design trend that’s here to stay. It embodies luxury and has become a sign of good taste among influencers.
If you want to showcase your style, then our Allure Tiles are the perfect solution. As the name suggests, they create a welcoming and inviting look that combines the appearance of marble with the durability of porcelain.
These matte tiles look great almost everywhere and suit living rooms with large fireplaces or modern décor. Allure Tiles can be used on floors and walls to create a seamless look.
Alloy Tiles: Industrial and Modern
For a grungy modern look, you can’t beat our Alloy Tile range. With a selection of industrial colours, including copper, coal and grey, we’ve got something to suit any living room in this range.
Alloy Tiles look great as part of a stand-out signature wall or can be used to cover the entire space to make it feel edgy. Whatever your choice, these stunning porcelain gloss tiles give you the look of alloy with the durability and wipe-clean surface of porcelain, so you don’t have to worry about rust or corrosion.
Bellagio Tiles: Glossy and Sleek
For the classic tiled look that you expect, our Bellagio Tiles are the ideal option. These high-gloss ceramic tiles give a bold look that stands out and are perfect for living room floors and walls.
With several colour options, including aquamarine for an industrial, almost metallic look or blanco to give you an off-white finish, there’s something for every living room in this elegant range of tiles.
So, if you want to create a beautiful and stylish living room but aren’t interested in incorporating marble, then these could be the perfect tiles for you.
Casale Tiles: Simple and Clean
Sometimes, simple is better, particularly in a living room that’s full of pieces of artwork and patterned furnishings.
For these living rooms, our Casale Tiles work well, as they are ceramic matte tiles that come in two neutral shades: pearl and dono grey.
Both colours give a natural, subtly-classy finish to your walls and floors, making them ideal for covering large spaces and creating a smart look that you can customise to suit your tastes.
Hexa Element Tiles: Fun Geometrics
Modern homes could benefit from the fun geometric shapes on our quirky Hexa Element Tiles! With a range of colours, including black, navy, green and grey, there’s an option for any look that will create an inventive statement.
These matte porcelain tiles work best on walls and can be used throughout the home, including in the living room, for an inventive look that’s a little bit different.
Despite their unusual shape, these hexagonal tiles are easy to lay and can cover a standard space if you cut them correctly.
So, with the right tile fitter, you can use these unique tiles to create a beautiful space that looks innovative and sleek.
How Do I Choose the Best Wall Tiles for My Living Room?
When it comes to choosing the right tiles for your living room, the first thing to consider is where they are going and the style you want them to embody.
Whether you want a natural look that emulates stone for a neutral space or a bold pattern to jazz up your living room, you can find a style that suits you.
Once you’ve picked out the style and material, you can consider other factors, such as the size of the tiles and how much they will cost. Tiles will probably be one of the most expensive parts of your living room redecoration project, so take the time to work out how much you have to spend, as this will affect the type of tiles you’re able to afford.
The Best Colours for a Living Room
Once you’ve selected the perfect style of tiles for your living room, you need to pick the perfect colour for your space.
Colour theory is an important part of designing any space, as the colours you choose affect your emotions and the way your home feels. The right colours can also make your space look larger and more airy, meaning picking the perfect option is imperative.
Some of the best colours for your living room walls and floors include:
- White or off-white
- Light grey
- Navy blue
- Ochre or terracotta browns
Natural tones are the ultimate choice to create a neutral backdrop for your living room decorations and furnishings.
Choosing a neutral colour will mean that you don’t have to redecorate your entire room every time your tastes change: you can just replace portable items like rugs and wall art.
The Best Type of Tiles for a Living Room
For a living room, large tiles are better than small ones, as they will cover a larger surface area. That’s especially true if you’re using your tiles on your walls; larger tiles will give a more cohesive look.
When it comes to material, you need durable, easy-to-clean surfaces, such as porcelain or ceramic. These materials are designed to last for many years and can be wiped clean with tile cleaner.
Both porcelain and ceramic tiles come in various styles so that they can emulate natural products like stone or metal.
Alternatively, you can choose brightly-coloured tiles or bold patterns to add a pop of colour.
Whatever your style, large porcelain or ceramic tiles are among the best options for living room walls and floors.

FAQs
When you’re choosing living room tiles, consider your budget, cleaning needs and where the tiles are going to go: on the wall or the floor. You’ll then be able to find tiles that suit your style and will give you many years of enjoyment.
When you’re choosing colours for your living room tiles, you might want to think about going for natural options like brown, grey, black or white so that they will go well with a variety of pieces of furniture and décor styles. Alternatively, you could choose stone-style tiles to create a cosy atmosphere or patterned tiles for a statement look.
If you’re looking at tiles for living room, you should consider a durable material like ceramic or porcelain to give you a delicate look but also hold up well on your wall and be easy to clean.
Porcelain also works well for living room floors if that’s where you intend to use them. Pick out tiles that are easy to clean and will last before you consider the look of your new living room tiles.
Floor tiles might seem like an unusual choice for a living room, but they can be an ideal alternative to carpet. Tiles are easier to clean, making them ideal for high-traffic living rooms and families with kids or lots of pets.
Carpets hold a lot of dirt and need replacing every few years, whereas tiles can last longer as they don’t absorb any moisture or grime, making them a useful addition to any living room. If you want the cosy feel of carpet but the benefits of a tiled floor, consider putting down floor tiles and then using an area rug.
