Featured Wall Tiles
Feature Wall Tiles:Textured, Fluted & Decorative Designs
Our featured wall tiles collection is a curated edit of the styles that are popular among interior designers, UK homeowners, and contractors across bathroom and kitchen projects.
The selection pulls from across the full Royale Stones wall tile range and is updated to reflect what is actually in demand rather than what has been in the catalogue the longest.
For seasoned tilers and DIYers, our designer wall tiles collection covers every style and format.
Decorative Wall Tiles
Our decorative wall tiles collection includes a range of finishes, shapes and textures to suit modern and traditional interiors. Explore popular styles below, from Zellige and metro tiles to textured and patterned designs.
Zellige Wall Tiles
As the most talked-about wall tile format in the UK right now, each tile carries inherent variation in glaze depth, colour tone, and surface texture, which means a tiled wall in Zellige does not read as flat or repetitive.
At Royale Stones, porcelain zellige wall tiles are available across a palette that runs from soft neutrals, warm whites, pale sage, dusty terracotta, to richer directional tones including forest green, cobalt, and midnight blue.
The format is small, typically square or brick-shaped in sizes that allow stacked, brick-bond, or offset laying patterns, and the glazed surface catches light differently throughout the day, which is why it is particularly effective in bathrooms and kitchen splashbacks where artificial lighting conditions shift morning to evening.
Hexagon Wall Tiles
Hexagonal formats have moved from feature-tile status into mainstream use across UK bathroom and kitchen walls, and the Royale Stones range reflects this with options across matt, gloss, and terrazzo finishes, from small-format classic honeycomb in porcelain to larger statement hexagons.
Behind a vanity unit, in a shower niche, or as a full wall behind a freestanding bath, hexagon wall tiles deliver geometry and texture without the heaviness of a heavily patterned tile.
Metro Tiles for Bathroom
The classic brick-format white gloss is as relevant in a 2026 UK kitchen or bathroom as it was twenty years ago, but the range extends well beyond that: coloured metro in sage green, dusty blue, and charcoal; matt finishes in off-white, warm grey, and blush; and extended subway formats.
The appeal of metro tiles for UK buyers is specific: they are the most forgiving tile format across period and contemporary properties alike, they are easy to source in quantity, and they install without the levelling systems and preparation requirements of large-format tiles.
Fluted Wall Tiles
Fluted wall tiles solve a problem that actual timber cladding cannot: in bathrooms and wet areas, real wood is not a viable finish.
Wood-effect porcelain or ceramic wall tiles deliver the warmth and grain texture of timber with full moisture resistance, making them a practical choice for bathroom feature walls, shower enclosures, and kitchen alcoves where a warm natural backdrop is the brief.
Luxury Split Face Wall Tiles
Three-dimensional split-face tiles in natural stone, slate, or stone-effect porcelain create a textured surface that catches light at every angle; changing appearance across the day and removing the need for any additional wall decoration.
These are not tiles for every surface. They require more careful preparation and installation than flat-faced formats, and the return on that investment is a wall finish that no painted surface or standard tile can replicate.
Patterned Wall Tiles
Patterned wall tiles cover a broad spectrum, from geometric repeats in two-tone porcelain to encaustic-inspired motifs in terracotta and cream. Used across a full kitchen splashback, a bathroom alcove, or a single feature wall in a hallway, patterned tiles make a room feel considered and deliberate.
The Royale Stones’ patterned tile range includes Italian porcelain patterns, terrazzo-effect formats, and geometric designs suited to both traditional and contemporary UK interiors.
Sizes Across the Featured Range
The featured collection spans every format from small-scale mosaic and classic metro brick through to large-format wall panels.
Small Wall Tiles: Small formats, zellige, hexagon, and classic metro typically at 75x150mm, 75x300mm, and 100mm hex, suit compact bathrooms, splashbacks, and accent applications where the tile itself provides the visual interest.
Mid-format Wall Tiles: In 200x400mm, 250x500mm, and 300x600mm, they cover the broadest range of UK bathroom and kitchen wall applications and are the most commonly specified sizes across both B2B and B2C projects.
Large-format Wall Tiles: At 600x1200mm and above, they reduce grout lines to a minimum and are most effective in principal bathrooms, open-plan kitchen-diners, and commercial projects where the brief demands a clean, expansive finish.
Finishes: Matt, Gloss, Textured, and Handcrafted
The featured wall tile selection is not dominated by a single finish direction, and that is deliberate.
Gloss Finishes: Reflect light, brighten smaller spaces, and suit classic bathrooms and metro-tile schemes.
Matt Finishes: Absorb light, hide water marks and fingerprints, and suit contemporary schemes where the tile surface is meant to read as understated.
Textured and 3D Finishes: Split face, fluted, and handcrafted zellige are formats that respond to light directionally and give a wall depth that flat-faced tiles cannot replicate.
The right finish depends on the room's orientation, light levels, and the degree to which the wall tile is intended to lead or support the design.

See Featured Wall Tiles In Person
Tile finish, particularly the distinction between a matt porcelain, a glazed zellige, and a textured split face, is one of the specifications that photographs least accurately. Our showrooms in Birmingham, Watford, Peterborough, Lincoln, and Kent carry a broad selection of wall tiles from the featured range, displayed in room-set contexts alongside coordinating floor tiles, bathroom furniture, and hardware. Samples are available on request; the team can advise on quantities, laying patterns, and grout selection for any wall tile format.

If you are also specifying bathroom furniture to coordinate with your tile selection, the bathroom vanity collection is displayed alongside the tile range in the showroom, which is the most efficient way to confirm colour, finish, and proportion before committing to either.
Note: Always check slip resistance, PEI rating, and technical specifications before specifying any tile for floor or wet room use. Natural material tiles, zellige and split face formats, carry inherent variation between tiles and batches; order from a single batch wherever possible to minimise tonal differences.
