With so many shapes, colours, styles and sizes of matching wall and floor tiles out there, it can be a bit of a minefield when it comes to achieving your vision. While it can be great to use two or three different tiles, using the same tile range on your floor and wall can create a really premium look. This technique will also help make small spaces appear bigger, particularly if you’ve gone for a glossy tile in a lighter shade.
A similar colour scheme with matching wall and floor tiles in your room will also ensure a gorgeous visual harmony. Choosing a plain colour gives you the perfect backdrop to let your accessories and furnishings shine. And of course, the beauty of choosing tiles to decorate your room means that not only will it look fantastic, but you’ve also made a practical decision too!

If you don’t want to go for a completely matching look, you can use a range that includes a feature tile to add some texture or interest or choose matt for the floor and gloss for walls.
Matching Wall and Floor Tile Top Tips
Suitability
This might sound a bit obvious, but do make sure the tiles are suitable for walls and floors or find a range that has a version of each. Some floor tiles will be too heavy for the wall, and a particular wall tile may not be robust enough underfoot.
Anti-slip
If you’re tiling a high traffic area, opt for an anti-slip version of the tiles for added peace of mind. Anti-slip definitely doesn’t mean dull these days, there are plenty of wonderful designs to choose from, as we’ll show you below.
Rectified tiles
Rectified floor tiles allow you to minimise the width of your grout joints, which is another trick when it comes to achieving a seamless and spacious look with matching wall and floor tiles.
Grout choice
Grout lines will blend and add to the seamless effect if you choose a complementary or matching colour.
