8 Tile Collections for Autumn 2026
There have been some seriously good tile collections catching my eye recently. From archive patterns making their way onto ceramic to hand-painted tiles that are more like miniature works of art. So, for this Inside Stylists Edit, I’ve pulled together the collections worth knowing about. There’s pattern, colour, beautiful Italian marble and some clever new ways with porcelain – plenty of inspiration if you’re planning a kitchen, bathroom or hallway, sourcing for a shoot or just want to know what’s new come have a look
Ca’ Pietra x Sanderson
Ca’ Pietra teamed up with Sanderson to bring some of the British design house’s archive patterns onto tiles, and it’s a collaboration that makes complete sense.
The patterns have that unmistakable Sanderson feel, but what makes the collection so desireable is how well the softness of textiles has translated onto a hard surface. There’s colour, texture and plenty of detail, giving the tiles an almost fabric-like quality.
It’s also a great example of how decorative tiles can become the starting point for a room rather than something chosen at the end. Pair a stronger pattern with simpler cabinetry, paint and accessories and let the surface do the work.
Quorn Stone – Romy Slim Metro Tile
I know I’ve said in the past to avoid a boring metro tile – but these are anything but boring. To start with, just look at that toffee colour. Dreamy! And then there’s the slim design (160 x 30 x 8.5mm). Pure interior designer vibes right there. Lay them horizontal or vertical, and the variation in colour will always look warm and inviting. And if you fancy mixing things up there are other colours available. Why not mix it up with Almond, Sage or Caramel.
Otto Tiles & Design – Strata
There’s a real trend at the moment of creating your own stripes with different coloured tiles. If that’s what you’re going for Strata by Otto Tiles & Design’s is a great choice. It’s their first porcelain collection, produced in Bologna and designed to work across walls, floors, wet areas and outdoor spaces – so there’s plenty of scope to create your design
And the layout isn’t where the options end. There are eleven colours to choose from all with variation in tone and texture. They have that painterly -almost hand painted effect which softens the look of a tiled surface. You can also find border tiles and the quieter, stone-inspired Strata Stone range. All incredibly beautiful.
Rigoletto tiles – Claybrook Studio
If you’re going for impact, the Rigoletto tiles by Claybrook are sure to be just the ticket. Available in three deeply veined colourways and styles, and set in a larger rectangular size (60x120cm), these matt, marble effect tiles are textured, making them perfect for pretty much any application – bathrooms, including showers, kitchens, walls, floors. You can even use them in commercial spaces too, if you’re designing bars or restaurants. They’re even good for fireplaces. Just imagine that!
Lapicida Marble Mosaics

For something altogether more luxurious, Lapicida’s marble mosaics are handcrafted in Italy using traditional techniques and have a wonderfully aged, tumbled appearance. The Roman Calacatta Gold has a soft, matt finish that works beautifully in bathrooms, while Verona Square brings warmer terracotta shades and plenty of natural variation. Rather than one uniform colour, each piece is slightly different, adding depth and texture when they’re laid all together.
With some mosaics priced at around £474 per square metre (at the time of going to press) these are definitely an investment, but natural marble and the traditional finish give them a timeless quality rather than something that feels tied to a particular trend. You’ll never get bored of them, that’s for sure.
The Shop Floor Project – Apothecary Tiles

The new Apothecary Tiles from The Shop Floor Project sit somewhere between decorative tile and a piece of artwork.
Handmade and individually painted by artist Fiona Biddington, the collection is inspired by healing recipes, spells, plants and animals. Tiny dots of slip are used to create the designs which are hand painted, giving each tile its own individuality.
These are tiles to use where the detail can really be appreciated. A handful incorporated amongst plain tiles, a small splashback or a feature behind a basin would showcase the individual designs so they stand out rather than disappearing in a whole wall. They’re almost too pretty to be treated as a surface.

Baked Tiles – 1860 Templeton
Baked Tiles’ 1860 Templeton collection takes its cue from traditional Victorian patterned floors, with coordinating border and corner pieces that can be used to frame a hallway, staircase, fireplace or any other room you see fit.
The pale blue and grey combination gives the traditional pattern a modern feel, making it good for period properties where you want to honour the age of the building without creating a complete historical copy. It’s easy to make the style your own with these tiles.
Entrance halls are a natural place for this pattern. They’re also a great place to be a little braver with a floor – strong pattern can add personality from the moment you walk through the door.

DC Amore Dalila Amazzonite
The way you design your tiles in a bathroom can completely change how it feels. These DC Amore Dalilia Amazzonite tiles from Hyperion Tiles, have the glamour of Italian design with a mid-century twist. Marble grounds are cut in geometric patterns, making the way you play with the design layout endless. Go for stripes, checkerboard, or plain, all with the reassurance that you don’t have to seal them because they’re porcelain. They’re also safe to use with underfloor heating too.
So, what are we seeing with tiles right now?
Looking at all these collections together, there’s definitely a move away from tiles that are completely flat, perfect and uniform. There’s more texture, more pattern, more variation in colour and lots of finishes that have that lovely handmade feel – even when they’re actually made from porcelain.
I think that’s what makes them so much more interesting to decorate with. You can take the same tile and lay it in a completely different way, add a border, mix two colours, change the scale or put it next to something unexpected, and suddenly you’ve created something that feels completely your own.
If you’re planning a kitchen or bathroom and you’re now thinking, Okay, but how on earth do I actually choose?, I’ve written How to Choose Tiles Like an Interior Stylist. I talk about mixing different shapes and sizes, choosing colour and pattern, why large tiles can work brilliantly in small bathrooms and a few things I’ve learnt about tiles after more than 25 years of styling interiors.
