Sometimes tiling an entire room in the same colour can leave you with a sterile, boring space. Feature walls are the perfect way to liven up a room, creating variety and a focal point in the room. Thanks to the latest technology, Ceramic Industries is able to bring you new, exciting feature wall tiles with very special effects. Our innovative inks and glaze technology can give tiles striking surface effects, while 3D profiles awaken the senses, inviting your touch. Going beyond visual beauty, these tiles encourage interaction and leave a lasting impression. And to help you finish off your beautiful spaces, we've developed plain tiles to match the feature tile of your choice.
How to wow: guidelines for creating feature walls
To create a feature wall is to create a focal point in a room. Start by identifying an area in the room you want to draw attention to, keeping in mind the room's layout. You usually want the 'wow' area of your room to be the first area you look at when you enter a room. Alternatively, choose an area that has special features you'd like to highlight, like a bath, a fireplace or a special piece of furniture. Finally, pair your feature tile with the matching plain tile or white tiles for inspirational contrast.
Areas to create your feature wall
Bathroom
This is an opportunity to show off your designer sanitaryware or other beautiful features in your bathroom.
- Behind a bath
Whether it's a built-in or freestanding bath, as the most glamorous sanitaryware item in the bathroom, it's usually the focal point in the room. Let it sparkle with an eye-catching feature wall behind it. - Behind a vanity unit or basin
Tile behind the vanity unit or basin, from floor to ceiling. But don't be restricted by the width of the bathroom furniture - extend the feature wall beyond the outer lines of your vanity or basin to create a dramatic effect. - Behind a toilet and bidet
This works especially well in your guest bathroom. Wow your visitors by creating a special feature wal that leaves an impression. - In a shower
Feature tiles work perfectly for the entire shower space. Alternatively, use feature tiles just on the wall with the shower head, and pair with plain tiles to create further emphasis
Kitchen
- Splashback areas behind sinks or counters can add colour, texture and character to a kitchen.
- A single, entire large wall is also good to turn into a feature wall, and works especially well for open-plan living, where it gives the kitchen area a feel of its own.
Bedroom
- Behind the bed
Add depth to a small room, create intimacy, or bring a little jazz to a boring bedroom.
Lounge
- Behind the couch
Use the feature wall to create a cosy space behind the couch with a feature wall tile that complements the rest of your décor. - Behind the TV unit
A feature wall can help to harmonise your hi-tech entertainment system with the other, natural elements in the room. - Around the fireplace
Highlight an existing feature like a beautiful fireplace, and let its real character shine.
