Part utility, part everyday essential, your laundry room is one of the best places to make small design upgrades that have a big impact. Whether you have a compact layout or a larger setup, it’s usually your tile choice that leaves an impression.

Why Tiles in the Laundry Room

Laundry rooms are naturally high-moisture zones, which makes tile the ideal material. It’s water-resistant, easy to clean, and incredibly durable. Porcelain tiles are dense and low-porosity, making them resistant to water absorption and damage from detergents or spills. Ceramic tile is another great option, offering similar benefits at a more affordable price point.

Whether you're planning a full renovation or a quick refresh, here are a few tile tips to elevate your laundry room:

1. Pick the Right Pattern for Your Space

The tile pattern you choose can change the entire feel of your laundry room.

• Subway Tiles: Classic rectangular tiles, typically 3x6", subway tiles offer a clean, timeless look that works especially well in smaller spaces. Two of our most popular options are the Acuarela and Trendy series, offering enduring style with just the right amount of character.

• Picket Tiles: Shaped like elongated hexagons or stretched diamonds, picket tiles are a fresh alternative to traditional tile shapes. They create eye-catching lines and subtle movement, making them a great choice for adding texture and depth. Our Dart series features this design, bringing a touch of modern charm to any room, large or small.

• Encaustic Tiles: These decorative tiles feature bold, intricate patterns that are either printed or inlaid with different colors of clay. Traditionally made from cement, encaustic tiles are perfect for making a statement, especially in larger laundry rooms. A patterned floor paired with a simple backsplash (or vice versa) adds energy without overwhelming the space.

2. Add a Backsplash to Make Your Walls Pop

Backsplashes and half wall tile protect your walls from splashes and gives the room a finished, custom look. Glossy tiles reflect light and help brighten the space, while matte options offer a softer, more natural touch.

3. Play with Colour

Laundry rooms are a great place to experiment with colour. Soft tones like sage, sky blue, or warm beige can create a calm, airy feel. For a bolder style, select darker hues like navy, teal, or even deep green to add contrast and character. Pair with neutral floors or cabinets to keep things balanced. For a timeless, classic statement, black and white checkerboard tiles add instant charm and visual interest.

4. Use Large Format Tiles to Open Up the Room

In smaller or narrow laundry rooms, large format tiles can help create the illusion of a bigger space. With fewer grout lines, they offer a cleaner, more continuous surface that feels modern and expansive.

From subtle to bold, tile brings the durability and style every laundry room needs. Want help choosing the right fit? Contact our team for personalized recommendations, call us at (905) 532-9123 or email us at [email protected].
