Tiles

At Repubblica, we offer a wide range of high quality tiles suitable for homes, renovations, multi-residential buildings, and commercial projects in Australia. We have spent more than ten years working with designers, builders, architects, and homeowners. Our goal is to create warm, functional, and beautiful spaces.

Tiles for floor and wall have a strong effect on how a room feels. The right tile selection can brighten a kitchen, calm a bathroom or make an outdoor area feel more connected to the landscape. When choosing tiles, we consider tone, texture, finish, and size. We also think about how these will match your current materials.

Whether your project is a small room refresh or a full commercial fit-out, we provide sample support, palette advice and tile supply Australia-wide, with reliable delivery to site. Our goal is to help you select tiles that feel cohesive, intentional and easy to live with every day.

How to Choose Tiles

 

Choosing tiles starts with how the space will be used. Each room has its own needs. A bathroom floor needs grip and durability.

A kitchen splashback needs to be easy to clean. An outdoor area needs a surface that holds up to heat, rain and daily use. Once the practical needs are clear, you can explore colour, pattern, size and finish.

Start with Function

• Floor Tiles: Choose tiles with slip resistance and a hard-wearing surface.
• Wall Tiles: These can be smoother and more decorative because they don’t need to handle foot traffic.
• Wet Areas: Look for tiles rated for water and moisture exposure.
• Outside: Select tiles tested for outdoor conditions and textured for safety.

Consider Size

• Large Format Tiles make a room feel calm, open and minimal. They also reduce grout lines.
• Standard and Subway Sizes are timeless and can be stacked, offset or laid herringbone.
• Mosaic Tiles are ideal for curves, shower floors and feature details.

Finish and Texture

• Matte surfaces create a soft and natural look.
• Gloss finishes reflect light and brighten small rooms.
• Textured finishes add depth and tactility.

Colour and Light

Consider the direction of natural light in your space.

Warm neutrals can soften a room.

Deep colours create mood.

Lighter tones open and brighten.

Our showroom team can guide you through samples, lighting effects, layout ideas and pairings with benchtops, tapware and paint colours. We also offer sample delivery Australia-wide.

Choosing Tile Colours

 

Tile colour influences the feeling of a space. Light tones create calm interiors, while richer colours create depth and character. Consider the direction of natural light, the finishes in your room, and the mood you want to create.

For example:

Green tiles are a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. They bring freshness and a natural feeling into a space. Soft sage works well with light timbers, while deeper olive or forest tones add warmth and contrast.

White tiles are timeless and relaxed. They suit coastal homes, modern builds and classic renovations. Choose between matte, gloss or textured finishes, depending on the look you want.

Other Tile Colour Options:

• Cream and beige.
• Soft natural tones.
• Charcoal and black.
• Terracotta tones.
• Pale pastel feature colours.

Bathroom Tiles & Bathroom Tile Ideas

 

Your bathroom design should balance durability with style. Floor tiles need slip resistance and water-safe finishes. Wall tiles can be smooth, gloss or textural, depending on the space.

Bathroom Tile Ideas:

• Full-height wall tiles to create a calm, spa-like feeling.
• Zellige tiles for Morroccan handmade character and variation.
• Mosaic tiles to form curves or wrap shower spaces.
• Terrazzo tiles for personality and pattern.
• Travertine-look porcelain for soft, natural warmth.
• Moroccan Tiles, also known as Bejmat Tiles or Zellige Tiles for a decorative handmade feature tile.

Restroom Tile

In smaller rooms like powder rooms, tile can make a strong impact. Consider textured wall tiles, bold colours or mosaic patterns to create interest in a compact space.

Kitchen Tiles

 

The kitchen splashback is often a main design feature. Kitchen tiles should be durable, easy to clean and chosen to suit your benchtop, joinery and lighting.

Popular kitchen tile styles include:

• Subway tiles in stacked, offset or herringbone layouts.
• Zellige tiles for movement and subtle shine.
• Stone-look porcelain tiles for easy care.
• Mosaic tiles for texture and detail.

Floor Tiles & Wall Tiles

 

Choosing the right tile for wall and floor can shape how your space feels and functions each day. Manufacturers design quality floor tiles  to be strong, safe to walk on, and easy to clean. Wall tiles are often more decorative. People choose them for their color, texture, and visual appeal.

Bathroom flooring and tile choices need to handle daily movement and wear, so performance matters. Porcelain floor tiles are a popular choice for both homes and commercial projects because they are strong, hard-wearing and low maintenance. They resist staining and moisture and work well in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and open living areas.

Outdoor Tiles & Tiles for Exterior

 

Outdoor tiles must handle weather, heat, moisture and regular use in outdoor spaces.

We supply outdoor tiles for patios, paths, balconies, alfresco areas and pool area. Repubblica is a trusted supplier for pool tile company's and landscapers.

Consider:

• Slip ratings for wet areas (P4 or P5 recommended).
• Porcelain outdoor tiles for durability.
• Natural stone tiles for organic texture.
• Textured or matte surfaces to improve grip.

Pool Tiles, Pool Coping Tiles & Swimming Pool Tiles

 

For pool zones, materials must be safe and long-lasting.

We supply:

• Pool tiles for internal pool surfaces.
• Pool coping tiles, including drop face and square edge formats.
• Swimming pool tiles for waterlines, seats and surrounds.

Our team can assist with slip ratings, heat considerations and finish selection.

Travertine Tiles

There are two common styles of travertine finish:

• Cross-cut travertine, which shows a soft, cloud-like pattern
• Vein-cut travertine, which shows more linear grain movement

We supply both real travertine tiles, porcelain tiles that look like real travertine, and travertine mosaic tiles. These are suitable for floors and walls.

Terrazzo Tiles

Terrazzo tiles bring pattern and personality. They can be subtle and soft or bold and expressive. Terrazzo works in bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and commercial spaces.

Terracotta Tiles & Tile Flooring Terracotta

Terracotta tiles offer warmth and character. Tile flooring in terracotta develops a lived-in appearance over time. This making it a great choice for entryways, kitchens, courtyards and garden rooms.

Mosaic Tiles

Mosaic tiles are excellent for curved walls, shower floors, bar fronts and feature details. Available in porcelain, stone, glass and mixed materials.

Stone Tiles & Stone Look Tiles

We supply both natural stone tiles and stone look porcelain tiles.

Stone look tiles provide the appearance of marble, travertine or limestone. They are a low maintenance choice for all projects and are suitable for use on floors and walls, indoors and outdoors.

Subway Tiles & Herringbone Tiles

Subway tiles are timeless and versatile.

Herringbone tiles add direction and visual movement.

Both styles work well in bathrooms, laundries and kitchens.

Zellige Tiles (Moroccan Handmade Tiles)

Zellige tiles are known for their slight irregularities and glaze variation. They create depth, texture and character, making them ideal for feature walls and splashbacks.
