Discover the Beauty of Large Format Tiles
At Delforno Tiles, we are excited to showcase the growing trend of large format tiles. While smaller tile designs have historically offered a detailed and intimate feel, 2025 and beyond marks a significant shift towards the grandeur and modern elegance that large format tiles provide. These impressive tiles, significant in both their size and rising popularity, are redefining architectural styles, allowing for stunning transformations from opulent marble-drenched walls to authentic stone effect floors.
Why Choose Large Format Tiles for Your Home
Large format tiles are quickly becoming a favoured choice for homeowners and designers alike due to their remarkable versatility and the sophisticated aesthetic they create. They offer an expansive design canvas, available in a wide array of styles and colours, ensuring a perfect match for every taste and space. The result is a sleek, seamless look that instantly brings a sense of luxury and openness to any room.
Do Large Format Tiles Make a Room Look Bigger?
Yes, they do! One of the most compelling advantages of large format tiles is their ability to make a space feel more expansive. Their generous size means significantly fewer grout lines. These lines, which can often visually interrupt the flow across your floors and walls, can make a space feel busy or cluttered. By minimising these interruptions, large format tiles create an uninterrupted, flowing surface that enhances the perception of space and adds a seamless, clean finish.
Design Inspiration with Large Format Tiles
The design possibilities with large format tiles are truly limitless:
- Spa-Inspired Bathroom Design: Create a serene and tranquil bathroom retreat. Opt for large format stone effect tiles on both walls and floors, choosing matching or complimentary designs for a cohesive and calming atmosphere, reminiscent of a luxurious spa experience. Enhance the natural feel with complementary textures and subtle lighting.
- Bold and Patterned Statements: Large format tiles are not limited to classic marble or stone effects. We offer a diverse selection of large format patterned tiles that allow for unique personalisation and characterful design. Introduce a "wow" factor with bold patterns, perfect for making a memorable impression in guest areas. Our floral large format tiles, for example, are ideal for creating a captivating feature wall in a bathroom, kitchen, or hallway.
- Dramatic Black Tiles: Embrace the sophistication of large format black tiles for a truly dramatic interior. Covering your walls and floors in black can introduce a striking sense of drama while maintaining the practical, easy-to-maintain nature of tiles. Black marble effect tiles offer a particularly luxurious and classy interpretation of this bold design choice.
What Qualifies as a Large Format Tile?
Generally, any tile with at least one edge measuring over 600mm is considered a large format tile. However, as interior design trends evolve, we anticipate large format tiles will continue to increase in size throughout 2025 and beyond, pushing the boundaries of scale and design.
