Laundry tiles

A laundry can borrow the best ideas from the rooms around it. Let the tile echo a colour from the kitchen or bathroom, then give this practical space one detail of its own. Laundry tiles can do that with gloss, pattern, stone variation or a beautifully quiet floor.

A splashback worth looking at

The wall behind the sink is a natural place for colour. Laundry splashback tiles in a small format can make that short run of wall feel considered. Subway tiles bring a clean line, while mosaic tiles give even a narrow splashback lovely detail. A glossy surface reflects light around cabinetry; a textured one feels softer and more tactile.

Keep the floor grounded

For laundry floor tiles, think about the adjoining room as well as the laundry itself. A pale stone look can continue a calm palette, while terrazzo look tiles can pick up several colours already in the joinery. See our floor tiles for the wider selection. Choose a product specified for floor use and consider the finish, slip information and cleaning needs for your particular room.

Choose colour with the cabinetry in mind

White tiles can make a compact laundry feel lighter, but a warmer white often sits more comfortably with timber and creamy stone. Green tiles add a gentle colour note beside oak or warm metal. If the laundry is open to a hallway or kitchen, look at the samples from both rooms before deciding. It is the small shifts in undertone that make the scheme feel connected.

Frequently asked questions

Are laundry tiles different from bathroom tiles?

The collection is organised around the laundry, not a separate tile material. The right product depends on where it will go. Check the individual tile's wall or floor suitability and finish for the exact area you are tiling.

What works for a laundry splashback?

Start with the cabinetry and benchtop. A glossy subway tile can give a simple scheme a little light; a mosaic or textured tile adds more detail. Choose a tile specified for wall use, and decide how much wall you want to cover before ordering.

Can I use wall tiles on a laundry floor?

Not unless the product is specified for floor use. Floor tiles have different performance requirements, so use the product details and your tiler's advice for the intended location.

Should the laundry tiles match the kitchen or bathroom?

They do not need to match exactly. Repeating a colour, finish or material from a nearby room can make the home feel connected, while the tile shape gives the laundry its own character.

Which colour works best for laundry floor tiles?

Begin with the cabinetry and the flooring outside the room. Warm greys, stone tones and soft terrazzo looks can connect the laundry to nearby spaces, while a deeper colour gives the floor more presence. Compare samples in the room's natural light.

Are porcelain tiles suitable for laundry floors?

Many porcelain tiles are a practical choice for laundry floors. Choose an exact product approved for floor use, then consider its finish, slip performance and the way it meets adjoining flooring.
