Tile Trends in Melbourne Homes – Styles to Inspire Your Renovation

Tiles have always been a cornerstone of home design. From kitchens and bathrooms to living spaces, the right tile can add elegance, texture, and durability to your renovation. At 10x Building Supplies, we see firsthand which tile designs are trending across Melbourne homes, and we’re excited to share some of the styles that are making waves right now.

Large-Format Tiles – Sleek & Modern

Bigger is better when it comes to modern renovations. 600×1200mm and 600×1600mm tiles create a seamless look with fewer grout lines, making spaces feel larger and more sophisticated. They’re especially popular for open-plan living rooms and bathrooms.

Marble & Stone Look Tiles – Timeless Luxury

Calacatta, Carrara, and other stone-inspired tiles continue to dominate. They offer the luxurious feel of marble at a fraction of the cost, while being easier to maintain. Perfect for feature walls, splashbacks, and bathroom floors.

Microcement & Concrete Finishes – Industrial Chic

For homeowners who love a minimalist or industrial look, microcement-style tiles are a top choice. Their smooth, matte finish creates a calm, contemporary atmosphere that pairs beautifully with black or brushed nickel tapware.

Textured & Patterned Tiles – Adding Character

While plain tiles are timeless, many renovators are looking for personality and texture. Think terrazzo-inspired tiles, geometric patterns, or subtle textures that catch the light. These work brilliantly as feature walls or shower niches.

Neutral Tones with Natural Accents

Greys, beiges, and off-whites remain strong, but we’re seeing a rise in earthy tones like warm taupe, clay, and sand. Pairing neutral tiles with natural oak vanities or stone-look benches creates a balanced, timeless look.

Choosing the Right Tile for Your Space

When selecting tiles, consider:

• Durability: Porcelain tiles are hard-wearing and ideal for high-traffic areas.

• Finish: Matte tiles for slip resistance in bathrooms; polished finishes for living areas.

• Size & Layout: Larger tiles for a seamless effect, smaller tiles or mosaics for character.

• Maintenance: Stone-look porcelain offers luxury without the upkeep of natural stone.

Conclusion

Tiles are more than just a functional choice – they’re a design statement. Whether you want the luxury of marble, the modern edge of microcement, or the warmth of earthy neutrals, 10x Building Supplies has a wide range of tiles to suit every renovation style.
