A bold feature tile can be the magic ingredient that transforms a good room into a great one. Whether it’s a splash of colour, a touch of texture, or a dramatic pattern, feature tiles create instant personality—and at Tile Lane, we’re all about helping you make your space feel uniquely yours.
From bathrooms to kitchens, laundries to entryways, here’s how you can use feature tiles to make a serious style statement.
1. Statement Splashbacks
The kitchen is the heart of the home—and the splashback is its crown. Feature tiles in handmade-look finishes, elongated subway shapes, or even bold terrazzo patterns can turn a practical necessity into a showstopping design element. For a more timeless twist, try subtle tonal variations in green or blue to add movement without overpowering the space.
Try this: Sienna Subway Tiles in earthy greens or blues for a nature-inspired kitchen vibe.
2. Bold Bathroom Moments
Whether it’s a tiled shower niche, a full feature wall, or a patterned floor, bathrooms offer plenty of opportunity to get creative. Feature tiles can create contrast, draw the eye, or even break up an otherwise neutral palette. Think crazy paving for texture, zellige-style gloss for drama, or vein-cut travertine for that luxury hotel look.
Pro tip: Zellige tiles like our handmade Havana series really make a big impact!
3. Laundry Luxe
Don’t overlook your laundry—this utility space can be just as stylish as the rest of your home. Feature tiles here are an easy way to add colour, charm or cohesion to your design. Pair a bold tile with open shelving or soft-toned cabinetry to give your laundry a lift.
Idea to steal: Use our Noosa Crazy Paving for a classic-meets-modern twist.
4. Entryway Impact
Make your first impression count. A feature tile in your entryway adds a sense of arrival—and tells guests that style lives here. Think patterned floor tiles or natural stone looks for a grounding, welcoming aesthetic.

5. Outdoor Accents
Feature tiles aren’t just for indoors. Add character to your outdoor entertaining area with a tiled wall, garden bench, or step riser. Tiles that mimic stone or weathered concrete bring texture and depth while standing up to the elements.
Try this: Our Pavers and Bullnoses section offers great selection to spruce up your outdoor entertaining area.
The beauty of feature tiles is that they don’t need to be everywhere to have an impact. Sometimes, just one wall—or even one corner—can tell a whole story. At Tile Lane, we’ve curated a range of feature tiles that are equal parts striking and versatile, ready to complement any style of home.
