Modern tiles are about restraint as much as style: fewer grout lines, calmer colours and finishes that feel good underfoot. Whether you're retiling a kitchen floor or refreshing a bathroom wall, you'll find pattern and pared back neutrals sitting side by side here, each one chosen for how it'll actually live in your home.
Modern Floor Tiles for Everyday Living
Look for large formats in porcelain if you want a floor that reads as one continuous surface rather than a patchwork of tiles. Matt finishes grip better underfoot than polished ones, and that matters in a busy kitchen or a steamy bathroom. Every tile in this collection is also suitable for use over underfloor heating, so you don't need to choose between comfort and good looks.
A few things worth checking before you buy:
Choose porcelain for floors that see daily traffic. It resists stains and wear far better than ceramic.
Ask about the slip rating for bathrooms and kitchens, so you know how a tile performs when wet.
Go large if you want fewer grout lines and a calmer feel underfoot.
Check underfloor heating compatibility on the product page, as this varies between ranges.
Modern Wall Tiles With Real Character
Walls are where modern tiles can carry a bit more personality. Concrete effect and wood effect porcelain bring texture without any of the upkeep the real materials would need, and they're straightforward to keep clean. Prefer something quieter? A soft neutral in a large format does the job just as well, especially behind a hob or basin where you want calm rather than clutter.
So how do you choose between plain and patterned? Start with the room. A small bathroom often benefits from one confident tile rather than several fighting for attention. A larger kitchen, on the other hand, can carry more variation across floor and splashback.

Modern tiles are tiles built around clean lines, matt finishes and larger formats than traditional styles. They favour warm neutral tones and realistic effects such as concrete or wood over heavy pattern, giving a room a calm, contemporary feel.
Modern floor tiles are suitable for underfloor heating, and every tile in our modern floor collection carries this rating. It's still worth checking the individual product spec, as heat conductivity can vary by material.
Matt is a popular finish for modern wall tiles at the moment. It softens light rather than bouncing it around the room, and it's forgiving of everyday marks and fingerprints too.
Large format tiles are generally easier to maintain than smaller ones, because fewer grout lines mean less to clean. Porcelain options are also stain resistant and simple to wipe down.
Modern floor tiles are available in a range of sizes, from smaller formats through to large format options. Larger tiles create a more seamless look underfoot, with fewer grout lines breaking up the space, so it's worth checking the exact dimensions on each product page.
