Small Format Tiles

Small format wall tiles give you the freedom to be creative. Use them to zone spaces, add texture to plain walls, or create stylish features behind basins, baths, or cookers. They’re great for compact spaces too, where larger tiles might overwhelm.

Thanks to their size, these tiles work beautifully with complex layouts or custom shapes—whether you're going for straight, diagonal, or mix-and-match tiling. You’ll also find them easier to install in tight spaces like alcoves and splashbacks.

Small Format Tile Patterns

With small tiles, you’ve got loads of layout options. Go classic with brick bond, keep things neat with a stacked layout, or go creative with herringbone. Want something totally unique? Try mixing patterns or rotating tiles to create borders and framed features.

Their small size means these tiles work well in awkward spots, around windows, or along curved surfaces where large tiles just won’t fit. They’re practical, flexible, and perfect for adding personal style to any project.

Herringbone Tiles

One of the most eye-catching ways to use small format tiles is with a herringbone pattern. This classic zig-zag style creates movement, depth, and visual interest on any surface. Whether you’re tiling a bathroom wall, kitchen splashback or hallway feature wall, herringbone tiles add a high-end designer look that never goes out of fashion.

Choose from sleek gloss finishes for a light-reflecting effect, or matt textures for a softer, more modern feel. With smaller tiles, it’s easier to achieve precision in detailed patterns like herringbone—perfect if you're after something bold but refined.

Metro & Subway Tiles

Subway tiles (also known as metro tiles) are the go-to for a clean, simple, and stylish finish. Their slim rectangular shape makes them ideal for small format layouts, offering loads of styling options. Use them in a brick bond layout for a traditional feel, stack them vertically for a modern twist, or go landscape for a wider, more open look. Metro tiles are a timeless staple of small format tiling. Their neat rectangular shape and glossy finish make them perfect for splashbacks, shower walls, and even entire bathroom spaces. You’ll often see them in white, but we’ve got a wide range of colours—from soft pastels to bold blacks and greens.

Lay them in a classic brick pattern, stack them vertically for height, or angle them for a fresh take. With metro tiles, it’s easy to add charm and character without going over the top.
