Pink Tiles

Shades of pink

Pink tiles today are soft and grown-up rather than sugary. The range runs from pale blush and plaster pinks through dusty rose to the warmer, veined tones of rosa marble. Many tiles here come in several colours, and this page shows each tile's pink variant, so you can compare blush against rose without scrolling through other shades.

Materials and looks

• Zellige and handmade: glazes with natural variation in zellige and handmade tiles.
• Kit kat and mosaics: vintage stack kit kat and rose gold penny round mosaics for shower niches and splashbacks.

Where pink tiles work

Pink is at its best on walls: a bathroom feature wall, a powder room, a shower niche or a kitchen splashback. It warms up a room with little natural light. Most pink tiles here are wall tiles, and the natural marble should be sealed. Check the slip rating on each product if you plan to use one on a floor. A pink splashback or vanity wall paired with a neutral floor keeps the look fresh, and a small powder room is the perfect place to go bolder with rose marble.

Pairing pink tiles

Grout: white or off-white grout keeps pink fresh and shows off subway and kit kat layouts. A tonal blush or beige grout softens zellige and marble. See tile grout.

Tapware: brushed brass and gold is the natural partner for pink. Copper adds a warm, rosy glow, and white tapware keeps the look soft and light. Pink also pairs well with sage green tiles and terrazzo floors.
