Why would you pick 90 x 90 floor tiles?

More tile, less grout.

There’s no doubt these expansive tiles deliver pared back design and an architectural look and feel. They just make a room feel more spacious. Larger tiles have less grout lines and less grout lines mean spaces feel less busy. This helps bring a seamless appeal to rooms – especially with grout that blends with your chosen tile colour. Whether you are seeking to make a bold statement with your floor or want a minimalist vibe, these statement making tiles are the perfect canvas for any room.

Versatility

From urban apartment, luxury new build, contemporary kitchen or country home, 90 x 90 floor tiles bring a clean, continuous surface to spaces and just ooze style. With a plethora of finishes and a gamut of designs – porcelain tiles are available in everything from marbles, metals, cements, concretes, woods, slates, limestones and more – it’s not difficult to see why 90 x 90 porcelain tiles tick all the boxes – design, format and finish.

Installation

These tiles are large enough to feel large format, but not so large they are difficult to install. Whereas a giant 1200 x 1200mm format is typically a 2-man job, 90 x 90 tiles are easier to handle on site so you get the large format without the additional costs.

Durability and maintenance

Made from high-quality porcelain all our 90 x 90 floor tiles are highly resistant to staining and scratching. They are also fade resistant making them ideal for large open plan areas where there is lots of light – even in a super sunny spot these tiles won’t fade and will keep their colour consistency. These tiles are a cinch to keep clean too and all this makes them brilliant for busy kitchens and bathrooms as well as commercial spaces. Porcelain is just so hardwearing. Add to that the fact this material is highly water resistant and it’s an all round winner.

An investment

90 x 90 floor tiles are more than just a trend, they are a long-lasting investment and in the right tones and textures can potentially add value to your property. Neutral tones are the go-to for maximising resale value because they are timeless. They also create a versatile canvas that will appeal to a range of potential buyers. Opting for colours like soft whites, greys or taupes will help create a more open and airy feel and will work with pretty much any style of furniture.

Where would you use 90 x 90 floor tiles?

Anywhere! That’s the beauty of porcelain 90 x 90 floor tiles. They are so versatile.

Kitchens and bathrooms – whilst there is a school of thought that smaller rooms eg bathrooms equals smaller tiles, actually the opposite is true. Because larger tiles mean less grout lines they can make smaller rooms feel more spacious. For both kitchens and bathrooms 90 x 90 floor tiles are the perfect pick. Porcelain tiles are water resistant making them good for wet areas and they come in different finishes and slip ratings.

Open plan spaces and ground floors – larger tiles can give a seamless appearance to floors especially when grout colours blend closely with tile colours. This makes large format tiles ideal for large open plan spaces or ground floor areas. Neutral tones are the top pick for those seeking a serene and calming atmosphere or look at metallics or marbles if you want to add some drama.

Entrance hallways – because of their high scratch resistance and durability, porcelain 90 x 90 floor tiles in matt or natural finishes are a superb option for entrance hallways. Polished finishes can dull over time in well-trodden paths or areas where shoes may drag stones in so it is worth considering these glossy options more carefully because they will require a little more care to keep them looking pristine.

The latest colour trends for 90 x 90 floor tiles

Without doubt colours are warming up with natural taupe tones as well as sands, stones and puttys all making their way into our homes. This grown-up colour palette is enhanced by the lovely large 90 x 90 tile format. Natural tones are always a great pick as they work with pretty much everything and bring a minimalist, elegant look to rooms.

Even woods can go large format. Take our Louis wood effect tiles in 90 x 90 dimensions. These gorgeous floor tiles mimicking Versailles marquetry are simply gorgeous in rich tones and designs that highlight all the knots and gnarls of real wood.

Natural stones and luxurious marble effect porcelain tiles just say quality and with clever surface finishes are mimicking the real thing with incredible precision. Take our Macchia Vecchia were pattern and finish align to deliver tiles that not only look like marble, but actually feel like marble highlighting the veins of this incredible material.

To sum up

90 x 90 floor tiles are just the ticket for those seeking a statement making tile that is large enough to feel large format but easy enough to install. Bringing a more tile, less grout approach these bigger format tiles make for a seamless feel to spaces and this combined with the durability of porcelain makes 90 x 90 floor tiles a winning combination. Add to that incredible design and these tiles have it all.
