What are border tiles?

Border tiles are tiles that are used, mainly on walls, to separate or zone areas of a room. Border wall tiles are a great way to add detail and style to any space, for example on a kitchen splashback to draw the eye along the length of the worktop or run around a bathroom wall to accentuate bathroom décor. Browse our border bathroom tiles and border kitchen tiles for more inspiration.

There are different types of border tiles, ranging from patterned décor tiles as seen in our popular Arles collection, to glass, metal, stone or mix mosaic sheets that can be cut to a desired height and used to create borders. Have a look at our Gemini Mosaics range for eye catching mosaics in different shapes and designs, to help you achieve the ultimate border tile design.

Border tiles are an ideal way of bringing colour, texture and depth to your walls. Choose a plain coloured tile, then pick a tonal border to give your room subtle depth and interest. Alongside a coloured border tile, introduce accents of colour with your accessories which help to pull the look together for a beautiful, harmonious space. Consider using a decorative or patterned border against a plainer background to add character, or use a textured border to complement plain wall tiles for a clean, contemporary and tactile finish.
