At Ashlee Interiors we offer a wide selection of tiles across practical categories seen on our shop page — from porcelain and ceramic to marble effects and wood effect tiles. You’ll find floor tiles, wall tiles, bathroom tiles and outdoor tiles organised by finish, size and style so you can find the right product quickly. Our catalogue includes specific groups such as bathroom floor tiles, modern kitchen wall tiles, large format and wood effect collections.
Porcelain tiles — Porcelain is dense and low-porosity. That makes porcelain tiles an excellent choice for heavy-traffic floor areas, kitchen floor tiles and wet rooms. They resist stains and water and work well with underfloor heating. Many UK tile specialists highlight porcelain as the go-to for durability and easy maintenance.
Ceramic tile: and usually less expensive than porcelain. Ceramic wall tiles are ideal for kitchen splashbacks and bathroom walls. They come in many finishes and patterns and are straightforward to cut and fit.
Natural stone & marble effect — Marble or stone effect tiles give a high-end look without the same maintenance demands as natural stone. Use them for feature walls, statement floors and elegant bathrooms.
Wood effect tiles — If you love the warmth of timber but need something waterproof and hardwearing, wood effect tiles mimic timber grain while being tile-durable. They suit open-plan living, kitchens and even bathrooms where real wood is impractical. Modern wood effect options are made in porcelain for extra durability.
Outdoor & porcelain paving — For patios and terraces choose frost-resistant outdoor tiles with the right slip rating. Porcelain paving gives the look of stone or wood while handling UK weather. Many suppliers emphasise porcelain paving for outdoor use because it stands up to frost and heavy use.
Bathroom tiles & bathroom floor tiles
For bathrooms, choose tiles with low water absorption — porcelain or glazed ceramic are top picks. For floors pick tiles with a suitable slip rating (look for an R rating or anti-slip specification) and consider textured finishes for shower areas.
Smaller mosaics can be useful on wetroom floors as the extra grout lines improve grip. For visual continuity, many bathrooms use matching wall tiles and bathroom floor tiles in complementary finishes. Trusted UK tile retailers give similar guidance: choose moisture-resistant tiles and order samples to check tone and texture in your lighting.
Kitchen tiles, kitchen floor tiles & kitchen wall tiles
Kitchens need tiles that handle spills and heavy foot traffic. Porcelain kitchen floor tiles work well because they’re tough and stain-resistant. For kitchen wall tiles, consider glazed ceramic or porcelain for easier cleaning. Metro (subway) tiles, large feature slabs and patterned tiles are all popular. Think about grout colour and tile size: smaller tiles hide uneven floors; large format tiles create a sleek, spacious look.
General floor tiles
When choosing floor tiles, consider PEI wear ratings, rectified edges for tight joints, and compatibility with underfloor heating. Large format floor tiles are trending — they cut visual clutter and make rooms feel larger — but remember larger tiles need flatter subfloors.
Outdoor tiles
Prioritise freeze-thaw resistance and a proper anti-slip surface. Outdoor porcelain paving is usually specified at greater thickness and higher slip ratings. Leave planning for drainage and expansion gaps; outdoor installations have different substrate needs than interior floors.
Design tips — mixing looks and finishes
Mix a large neutral floor tile with a patterned splashback in the kitchen to add interest without overwhelming the room.
Use wood effect tiles across open plan spaces for continuity, then switch to a tiled kitchen floor with a slightly different tone to define the cooking area.
Feature walls made from large format porcelain slabs create a high-end feel with minimal grout lines.
Consider grout colour as a design tool: matching grout creates a seamless look; contrasting grout highlights patterns.
Ordering, samples and installation basics
Order tile samples — seeing colour and texture in your home lighting is vital. Many UK tile retailers offer free or low-cost samples and visualiser tools so you can preview tiles in a room setting; this makes decision-making far easier.
Also measure carefully: add 7–10% extra for cuts and breakages on straight lays, and 10–15% for diagonal or pattern layouts. If using underfloor heating, check the tile’s thermal conductivity and recommended adhesive.
Porcelain floor tiles are usually best for bathroom floors. They have very low water absorption, which reduces frost and frost-thaw damage and prevents staining. Choose a finish with appropriate slip resistance — a slightly textured or matt finish is safer in wet areas. Mosaic floor tiles are helpful in shower zones because small tiles increase grout joints and improve grip.
Yes. Porcelain tiles are robust and resist staining and scratching, making them ideal for kitchen floor tiles. Polished porcelain can be used on walls for a stone or marble effect that looks premium but is easier to maintain than natural stone.
Absolutely. Many floor tiles double as wall tiles and create a cohesive look when used on both surfaces. Just confirm the tile’s weight and fixing method; very large or heavy floor tiles should be fixed to walls with suitable adhesives and possibly mechanical support for safety.
Very realistic. Advances in printing and rectification mean wood effect tiles can convincingly reproduce wood grain, knots and plank texture. Because they’re porcelain, they avoid warping and are safe in wet rooms and kitchens.
Choose frost-resistant, low-absorption porcelain paving with a high slip rating. Make sure the tiles and the installer follow local guidance for sub-bases and drainage. Outdoor porcelain specifically manufactured for paving is the best option for longevity in variable weather.
Order samples for each tile you are seriously considering at least two or three. Lighting and neighbouring surfaces (paint, cabinets, fittings) change how a tile reads in a room. Reputable shops in the UK allow sample orders so you can compare in situ.
