Wall Tiles on a Budget

Whether you’re updating your home this summer or refitting a buy-to-let, redecorating shouldn’t have to cost a fortune. With a surge of dab-handed DIYers heading to the hardware store, the nation is realising that a little bit of TLC goes a long way. Avoid those hefty handyman fees and try out a spot of home improvement for yourself.

From doing the work yourself to sourcing competitively-priced kitchen wall tiles, it couldn’t be easier to save some pennies on your interior design project. There’s no need to compromise on quality either, and by following our top tips, you could make major savings.

In today’s post, we’re taking a look at the best alternatives available if you’re tiling on a budget – so your DIY decorating project won’t break the bank.

Metro wall tiles

Going retro with metro kitchen or bathroom wall tiles is bound to be a winner for any vintage-style home. With an array of vibrant tones and pastel shades to choose from, the bevelled finish on these ceramic tiles will fit into any colour scheme. It’s the subtle crackle glaze which makes the overall brick effect so distinctive – a fabulous choice for anyone seeking something stylish and unique. With prices starting at just 43p per tile, these cheap kitchen wall tiles are a fantastic way to create a splashback on a budget.

Natural stone wall tiles

The versatility and durability of natural stone makes it a fantastic choice for busy areas of the home. These low maintenance materials are guaranteed to last, but it’s widely accepted that natural stone comes with a hefty price tag. While there’s no doubt that granite is on the luxurious side, cheap wall tiles are still available – including glossy granite and quartz black wall tiles.

At the lower end of the budget, the neutral hues of classic travertine will instantly brighten up a room and create the illusion of space in smaller areas. Whether you’re tiling the entirety of your wet room or adding some intricate detail to a sink splashback, travertine is both classy and competitively-priced. Travertine may be a cheaper alternative to the likes of granite and quartz, but this high-quality limestone is unique in its own right. Quarried from the hot springs of Italy and Turkey, Tiles Direct hand pick only the finest travertine tiles from their European suppliers.

Porcelain wall tiles

Porcelain may be slightly dearer than traditional clay ceramic, but at £15.26 m², there’s no denying that polished porcelain tiles are relatively cheap. Bathroom wall tiles are a wise choice for these wetter environments, and the properties of porcelain mean this room can be kept clean and mould-free with minimal effort. Whether you prefer polished or are more into matt, there’s a porcelain tile out there for everyone. For small spaces, large white porcelain tiles – such as our Comfort Tiles – will expand the space and create a light and airy aesthetic.

At Tiles Direct, we don’t think that a competitive price should mean a compromise on quality. That’s why we hand-pick our product range from a number of trusted suppliers across Europe. Once we’re satisfied with our first-class collection, we work to bring you the very best price. And with the Tiles Direct price match guarantee, you won’t find better value anywhere else.
