Wall Tiles

When it comes to choosing the perfect wall tile, it’s important to consider an equal balance of functionality, durability, and aesthetics to ensure you pick just the right fit for your space. Wall tiles have so much more to offer than just an attractive design. They also provide resilient protection and water resistance for your walls as well practical benefits such as easier maintenance.  

Here at DIY Megastore, we’ve made sure to accommodate a wide span of design schemes, households, and budgets within our vast wall tile range. We also understand that with such a variety available to buy, it can be daunting trying to narrow down which is best for your home. To gain a little extra inspiration, why not read through our handy guidance section below and get yourself up to speed on the key factors to consider?  

Although wall and floor tiles may appear similar visually, they both actually serve different purposes so are manufactured with structural differences to accommodate.  

In comparison to floor tiles, wall tiles are thinner and lighter for easier installation with less heavy weight impact on the wall. As wall tiles aren’t subject to foot traffic, they don’t require the thickness and strength that floor tiles offer. Some floor tiles are also finished with an anti-slip surface which once again, wall tiles typically won’t require.  

The installation options for wall tiles are basically endless. Although most commonly utilised in bathrooms and wet rooms, wall tiles are also spotted across kitchen, dining room, and even living room designs. Basically, wherever you can think of a stylish place to put them, wall tiles can be easily laid. For those bursting with ideas, this is probably news to your ears. However, if you are a little stuck in terms of inspiration, let’s talk through a few creative concepts.  

Of course, without a doubt, the most popular use for wall tiles is in the bathroom. With excellent water resistance and durability as well as an abundance of varying styles to choose from, wall tiles are a well-loved choice for a reason. Install around your shower area, bath, sink or bidet to build a protective splash-proof shield for a particular section of the wall. Alternatively, go wild and tile up an entire wall or even all of the walls to create a fresh and fashionable look that is completely unique to your home. 

Another common space for splashes and spillages, kitchens also hugely benefit from the practicality and elegance of wall tiles. Create your very own splashback above your sink and cooking area to protect your walls or maybe even go all out and cover an entire wall, whilst integrating a feature design.  

In rooms such as the dining or living room, wall tiles can really be used to inject a touch of your own personality into the space. If painted walls and dreary wallpaper is sounding a little drab and boring, liven up the atmosphere with a gorgeous, tiled feature wall to really catch the eye. Modernise your fireplace with sleek contemporary tiles or even integrate smaller sections of tiling here and there to highlight certain parts of the room. It really is down to what you think looks perfect for your living space.

Within our exciting collection, we’ve made sure to include a wide span of tile styles to suit every aesthetic, colour scheme and room design. Let’s explore a few of the different options available. 

Wall Tile Styles 

Each style we stock offers its own unique look for your space. Natural stone style tiles are perfect for those who love the elegance and charm of neutral tones and organic textured features. These are ideal for creating a relaxed and luxurious atmosphere, especially in living rooms and shower areas.  

Decorative and patterned wall tiles are ideal for bringing new life to your home with attractive colours, interesting shapes, and stunning designs. There are a multitude of styles available from Moroccan and retro to contemporary and vintage to suit any and every kind of property. For a little extra shine and glimmer, glass wall tiles can be easily installed to form a stunning mosaic-like pattern with gorgeous tones of colour.  

Choosing a Shape 

Whilst standard squares used to be the basic norm for tile design, increasingly unique constructed wall tiles are now being used across homes to create one-off, distinctive designs. 

For a funky modern bathroom, why not have fun with hexagon or fish scale tiles to really boost character. The ideal fit for retro-style kitchens, subway tiles are a lesser ‘out-there’ choice but still inject a little something different into the atmosphere of your cooking space. Whatever your taste, take a look through the superb selection of wall tile shapes available onsite and find the style that encapsulates your vision the best.  

Creating a Pattern 

A fundamental decider in the size and shape of tile you go for will be the tile pattern you wish to create upon installation. 

A stacked or staggered brick pattern utilises square or rectangular tiles to create a clean and simplistic look that matches virtually any kind of design scheme. Popularly laid with subway tiles, the herringbone design projects a timeless, retro feel which sits beautifully as a feature peace for contemporary and classic spaces. To really emulate a feeling of luxury and class, basket weave and versaille patterns combine varying shapes and sizes of wall tile to blend timelessly into traditional homes. 

Textures & Finishes 

The finish of a wall tile plays a key part in the overall look and feel of your wall design. Matt surfaces are ideal for creating a more subtle and natural-looking tile effect whilst high-shine and gloss finishes beautifully reflect the light to instantly brighten a room.  

Each finish offers varying practical benefits too. For example, in a busy family home where scratches and scuffs are inevitable, a matt finish can easily mask any small imperfections that a shiny surface may highlight.  

With their lightweight build and practical structure, our range of wall tiles can be easily laid by both avid DIYers and professional tilers alike. To ensure a smooth installation process and a clean end finish, we also stock a high-grade selection of tiling accessories too including back boards, grouting, adhesives, sealants, spacers and more.
