Add A Clean And Modern Metallic Aesthetic With Stainless Steel Tiles

WHY CHOOSE STAINLESS STEEL TILES FOR YOUR HOME?

If you’re looking for a unique and interesting way to decorate your home, then you should consider using stainless steel tiles for a range of reasons. They are a striking way to revolutionize your property whether you use them in a limited way for a certain area of your home such as a backsplash, or want to create a stunning feature wall in a main living area. They have a texture like no other kind of tile, and the metallic surface reflects light in a unique way creating a clean and contemporary architectural look which pairs effortlessly with other stainless steel and chrome in the home. This can include appliances as well as fixtures and fittings like taps and door handles. You can even use this look on light switch fittings thanks to the complementary products in ourselection. 

The collection on Stone & Tile consists of three essentials. Stainless steel tiles are for the surface of the wall or floor if you choose to use them there, and the look can be coordinated too with other materials in the home, especially stone which has a shimmer such as quartzite. Metal can form a sharp and unattractive edge if not capped properly, and for this reason you can choose from a range of edging and trim in stainless steel to complement the look. This can be around the edge of a backsplash or along the edge of a counter. When it comes to keeping the look consistent, browse the collection of stainless steel wall plates on the site too so you can select the perfect look in order that traditional plastic switches and sockets aren’t breaking up the design. They’re even great on top of many kinds of tile too as well as laminate flooring. 

The tile options cover statement accents to a home and can make it easy to keep your minimal look across the area or add dimension to what is traditionally a flat or relatively lacklustre area, such as in a bathroom. You can add texture to certain parts of your home to create a band of metal shimmer, or use it in bulk across a larger scheme to highlight a niche, create a bridge between materials, or perfectly frame your cooker and stove top. 

Stainless steel tile is a unique kind of material because of how it reacts with light, so the look will change over the course of the day, and give a different vibe in bright daylight compared to the softer tones in the evening and at night. It can be polished to give superior levels of shine in the daytime, but at night, directional lighting can transform it into something more dramatic and eye-catching.

CHOOSE STAINLESS STEEL TILES FOR BACKSPLASHES AND FEATURE WALLS

Stainless steel tiles are known to work especially well on surfaces which are vertical as opposed to horizontal one such as work surfaces, and this is primarily because their reflective finish has the potential to lift and reflect the whole of the space, not just the area where they’re placed. When used in a kitchen, they are able to create a sleek and modern backsplash with minimal fuss that complements worktops made of stone, painted cabinetry as well as glass. It also has the added appeal of bringing together all of your fixtures and fittings which are also made of metal such as taps and lighting. 

If you want to use this in a bathroom, it’s a top choice as the excess moisture won’t cause the metal to rust and gives a contemporary edge but still making the space feel homely rather than industrial. What’s more, it also complements natural stone and ceramics in the bathroom which are more traditionally used in spaces with lots of moisture, and you can add it in a number of ways such as with small strips of tile places horizontally, or stacked from floor to ceiling vertically to captivate attention.

STAINLESS STEEL FORMATS THAT ADD SHAPE AND TEXTURE

You’ll find everything you need to create the perfect stainless steel tile metallic look in our collection whether you want to make a subtle statement or transform your room into something bold and multi-dimensional. When you need long lines that work together in a linear or brick format, we have stainless steel subway tiles which can quickly enhance a modern backsplash or a contemporary feature wall in an industrial-themed room. Smaller tiles have the potential to bring enhanced detail to tight areas and decorative borders, but can equally be used in combination with larger tiles to create a unique style. 

For enhanced visual interest, we also have triangular tiles which are only limited to your imagination in how you want to use them. They can create sharper geometries and can play a key role in how light is reflected across your home. For tiles that pick up light and highlight a space, why not opt for a 3D effect with a prism or a bevelled tile? In a similar way, you can choose a diamond accent etched onto the tile itself which is ideal for a thin strip in a room or for a truly eye-catching feature wall or backsplash.
