The beauty of a 10x20 metro tile lies in its ability to suit almost any interior style. While often associated with traditional Victorian homes, today's metro tiles have evolved into a versatile design choice for modern, Scandinavian and luxury interiors.

For kitchens, consider running the tiles from the worktop to the underside of wall cabinets, or continue them to the ceiling for a more bespoke appearance. In bathrooms, full-height installations create a luxurious hotel-inspired finish while helping smaller spaces feel taller and brighter.

Different laying patterns can dramatically change the overall look. Brick Bond remains the favourite and suits almost every setting.Vertical Stack Bond creates clean architectural lines and gives the illusion of higher ceilings. Horizontal Stack Bond delivers a minimalist aesthetic. Herringbone introduces movement, making it ideal for feature walls or splash backs.

Choosing the right metro tile is about more than simply selecting a colour. Our gloss metro tiles maximise light reflection and enhance the character of each tile. Matt finishes offer a softer, more understated appearance.

Metro tiles are suitable for interior wall applications including:Kitchen splashbacks, Bathrooms, Shower walls, Cloakrooms, Utility rooms, Feature walls,Commercial interiors

Professional installation will always provide the best finish, particularly when using decorative laying patterns such as herringbone.

The right grout colour can completely transform the appearance of your tiles. Matching grout creates a calm, seamless appearance. Contrasting grout highlights every tile and laying pattern. Mid-tone grout offers a balanced finish while disguising dirt better than white grout.
