Metallic tiles are one of the quickest ways to give a room real personality. Whether you are drawn to the warm glow of gold, the industrial edge of oxidised copper or the drama of deep black, today's metallic-effect porcelain captures the look of real metal – with none of the tarnishing or upkeep. Below is a colour-by-colour tour of the look, using tiles from our metallic-effect tiles collection. (New to the trend? Start with our guide to what metallic-effect tiles are and why they work.)
Gold & warm metallic tiles
Gold metallic tiles bring warmth and a quiet sense of luxury. A shade like Plutonic Gold works beautifully as a feature wall behind a bar, fireplace or vanity, catching the light and adding a soft, glamorous shimmer without overwhelming a scheme.
Copper, bronze & rust tones
For an aged, oxidised look full of character, warm coppers and rusts are hard to beat. Plutonic Earth Brown, Planet Oxid and Marello Brown pair especially well with timber, exposed brick and matt black fixtures.
Silver, grey & graphite
Cool, contemporary and endlessly versatile, greys and graphites are the easiest metallics to live with. Planet Grey and Marello Graphite make superb large-format floors that add subtle movement underfoot.
Dramatic black metallic tiles
Black metallic tiles make a bold, confident statement. Planet Dark and Magnetic Black are stunning in a feature shower, a dark-luxe kitchen or a moody cloakroom, especially with brass or warm timber to balance them.
Jewel tones: emerald, teal & blue
For something more unexpected, jewel-toned metallics deliver real wow factor. Magnetic Emerald, Plutonic Teal Green and Planet Blue turn a splashback or feature wall into a genuine talking point.
Soft & light metallics
Prefer something subtler? Light metallics give you the luminous, light-catching quality without the drama. Planet White, Planet Cream and Marello White keep a space bright and airy while still feeling special.
Metallic tiles for kitchens & bathrooms
Because they are porcelain, metallic tiles are perfectly suited to hard-working rooms. In bathrooms, they bring a spa-like, hotel feel to shower walls and floors and stand up easily to moisture. In kitchens, a metallic splashback or island surround adds a designer finish that wipes clean in seconds. Many are also compatible with underfloor heating.
How to style metallic tiles
- Pick a hero. Let one bold shade lead – a feature wall or splashback – and keep the rest of the room calm.
- Balance the sheen. Metallics love warm, matt companions: oak, linen, plaster and plants.
- Go large. Big formats keep grout lines minimal so the metallic movement flows.
- Mind the light. These finishes shift beautifully through the day, so always view a sample in your own space.
