While being small on space, your cloakroom, often referred to as a downstairs toilet, can make a big impression. Therefore, it can be the perfect place to experiment with colours and trends to create a truly remarkable space that impresses your guests. Read on to see some of our top cloakroom tile ideas.
Cloakroom Tile Ideas
Simple yet stylish
Smaller rooms can be difficult to style, with a careful balance needed between aesthetics and practicality. By opting for simple cloakroom tiles, such as Johnson Prismatics PRG1 White Ceramic Gloss Wall Tiles (200x100mm), you can effortlessly combine simplicity with style for an overall elegant and sophisticated look.
The white shade of these Johnson Tiles will help to keep your cloakroom neutral, allowing you to add brighter accessories or even switch up your accessories to keep your cloakroom feeling fresh. The neutral shade combined with gloss finish also helps to reflect light, keeping your bathroom light and airy, a must in a smaller space.
Meanwhile, if you want to add an extra splash of character, combine Johnson Prismatics PRG1 White Ceramic Gloss Wall Tiles with a darker coloured grout, as shown above. Alternatively, adopt the quirky herringbone laying pattern that these brick tiles lend themselves so well to, to create a striking splashback or feature wall.

Elongate your space
Maximising space in your cloakroom is essential, thankfully your tiles can help with this.
The vertical brushstrokes of Colorker Edda Series Cream Gloss Ceramic Tiles 305x605x8mm combined with rectangular format helps to cleverly make your space appear wider. Alternatively, lay horizontally to make your cloakroom appear taller.
Aside from its clever use of brushstrokes, these tiles also add unique character and charm thanks to their brushed texture. Use just the classic cream shade or combine with their beautiful brown counterpart to create a focal feature that really draws the eye in.
Bright and bold
Nestled in your hallway, under the stairs or opposite your kitchen, your cloakroom is a room with its own identity. With this in mind, it can be a great space to experiment with bright and bold shades without the worry of it clashing with a conjoining room.
No one does bold and bright better than Johnson Vivid Tiles. Choose from Teal, Red, Blue, Lime, Purple or Orange to add some vibrancy to your cloakroom. The gloss finish of Johnson Vivid Tiles helps to reflect light, keeping your smaller space filled with light despite the bolder shades.
Unsure about going all out with colour? Why not combine the brighter shades with Johnson VVD1A Vivid White Gloss Brick Ceramic Wall Tile (400x150mm) to tone down the pop of colour and create a striking feature.
Best of both worlds
As we have already seen, tiles are a great addition to a cloakroom, and, another popular design choice is to tile halfway up your wall to add different dimensions to your cloakroom.
A brick tile such as the Carrara Series Marble Effect Flat Gloss Ceramic Wall Tiles 150x75mm are perfect for this. Here, the grey shade of the marble effect veining has been pulled from the tile and applied to the walls creating a beautiful symmetry between the tiles and paint. Likewise, the effect of the tiles here frames the sink and shelving unit, creating a practical but stylish addition to this bathroom.
