To help make it easier to narrow down your options, we've selected a variety of floor tiles from well-known UK retailers, each of which can be easily purchased online.
Before you buy floor tiles, consider the needs of your space
Once you've settled on the idea of floor tiles for your home, there are still a few things left to think about before you commit to buying your favourite designs.
Start by considering the specific needs of each room. Are you tiling a bathroom floor? In this case, you’ll want to look for water-resistant products that are suitable for moisture-prone rooms and don’t require further sealing.
Next, you should consider how each space is used on a day to day basis. For high-traffic areas, like hallways or kitchens, you might prefer tiles that are durable and easy to clean. For living rooms or bedrooms, you may wish to prioritise comfort and style, selecting tiles with a warmer appearance or a unique pattern.
Taking these factors into account will help you choose the perfect tiles for your space.
