Explore Our Patterned Tiles Range
Our patterned wall and floor tiles are built around two timeless layouts, checkerboard and stripes. Cut from Italian Ice Ash marble, Hakkari checkerboard tiles set ice grey against black for a crisp, graphic look. They suit indoor floors and walls as well as outdoor walls, so they can be used as patterned floor tiles in a hallway or entry or as a feature wall. Rommani tiles are handmade from clay and glazed by hand in pairings including pearl and powder blue, and forest green and bone. They’re made for walls rather than floors and suit splashbacks, feature walls, and bathrooms, where their natural variation in tone and surface gives the pattern depth.
Sizes, Colours, and Finishes
Hakkari and Rommani checkerboard tiles are 100 x 100mm, and Rommani striped tiles are 150 x 50mm, all around 10mm thick. Hakkari has a honed, low-sheen finish in ice grey and black. Rommani is available in four checkerboard and two striped colour pairings, each with a satin glaze and organic edge. Each set covers 1m², supplied as two 0.5m² boxes.
Why Choose Patterned Tiles?
Patterned tiles bring character to a room without depending on strong colour or intricate detail. Alternating two tones across a wall or floor creates contrast and movement, drawing attention to a splashback, shower wall, or entry. Checkerboard layouts give a graphic, ordered look, while stripes add direction and can accentuate the height or length of a space. Because the pattern comes from the tiles themselves, it holds its own even in a minimal scheme.
Applications and Inspiration
Rommani Zellige makes a standout kitchen splashback, with its hand-glazed surface reflecting the light. In bathrooms, it can be used as patterned wall tiles on feature and shower walls, as our Zellige is suitable for wet areas when properly sealed. Hakkari marble can go on indoor floors and walls, so it suits laundries and entries, and on outdoor walls around an alfresco area. Rommani tiles aren’t suitable for floors, so check the specifications for each product before planning your layout.
Caring for Patterned Tiles
As a natural stone, Hakkari marble varies in colour and veining from one tile to the next. Clean it regularly with warm water, a pH-neutral cleaner, and a soft mop or brush, and patch-test any new cleaner before use. We recommend sealing all natural stone tiles. Hakkari must be sealed before it’s installed on floors and resealed every three to five years, depending on use. Rommani Zellige is glazed and doesn’t need sealing, though we recommend sealing it in wet areas such as showers.

Patterned Tiles FAQs
What is the most popular tile pattern?
Checkerboard is one of the longest-standing tile patterns, valued for its strong, graphic contrast. Striped layouts are another enduring choice, with a softer, more rhythmic effect. You’ll find both in our patterned tiles range.
How do you design a tile pattern?
Begin with two tones that give you the level of contrast you’re after, then choose a layout, such as checkerboard or stripes. Lay the tiles out dry before installation so you can check the pattern and plan where the cuts will go.
Are patterned tiles suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
That depends on the tile. Our Hakkari marble checkerboard tiles suit indoor floors and walls, as well as outdoor walls. Our Rommani Zellige tiles are made for walls and aren’t suitable for floors.
Are patterned tiles easy to clean and maintain?
Yes, with the right care. Both marble and Zellige can be cleaned regularly with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. We recommend sealing natural stone, and sealing glazed Zellige in wet areas such as showers.
Will patterned tiles overwhelm a small space?
Not if they’re used with purpose. A patterned splashback or feature wall adds interest without dominating the room, and tonal pairings such as pearl and bone keep the contrast soft. Offsetting patterns with plain surfaces also helps in smaller rooms.
Can patterned tiles be combined with plain tiles?
Yes. Pairing patterned tiles with plain tiles in a matching tone lets the pattern stand out while giving the eye a place to rest. For example, a checkerboard floor can be paired with walls in one of its two colours.
Do patterned tiles go out of style quickly?
Checkerboard and striped layouts have been used in interiors for a long time, so they’re less tied to short-lived trends than many patterns. Natural materials such as marble and handmade Zellige also help a patterned scheme feel considered rather than of the moment.
