Autumn Decor Ideas: 5 Fall-Inspired Tile Ideas To Try This Season

If you’re looking to give your home a seasonal update this autumn, we have you covered.

In this post, we’re sharing a number of autumn home decor ideas using striking tile styles to transform spaces throughout your home.

Become a checkers champion

If you want to give busy areas of the home an eye-catching update, a checkerboard floor could be the way to go.

Having gained popularity throughout 2022, checkerboard flooring is having a revival – reinforcing its timeless appeal and effortless versatility in modern decor. 

Often thought to be a little ‘busy’ for bedrooms and living rooms, checkerboard patterns are best used in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways – and they can be as simple or colourful as you dare.

Keep things classic with black and white, or introduce colours like red, burnt orange, blue and green. Just be conscious of tile size to make sure this bold pattern has the right impact on the proportions of a room – think smaller formats for compact spaces and larger designs for bigger areas.

Challenge the norm with unusual patterns

Staying on the pattern theme, a great way to give your home an autumnal update that’s personal and memorable is to introduce an unusual, unexpected pattern. 

Perfect for creating unique, striking splashbacks in kitchens and bathrooms, take a trusted tile pattern like herringbone and give it a little twist. Instead of the usual vertical arrow formation we’re all familiar with, flip the tiles on their side, creating a horizontal pattern. For added interest, mix in some different shades of the same colour.

Alternatively, use a popular pattern like hexagon tiles in creative ways to deliver a pretty floral design. Best executed using three different tile colours with an overarching retro aesthetic, this funky tile pattern celebrates the beauty of flowers all year round.

Celebrate textural touches

Let the inside of your home serve as a sensory haven by introducing an eclectic blend of textures that tantalises the senses.

For rustic interior design lovers, the addition of splitface tiles can create a raw, rugged finish with a touch of sophistication that’s right at home in living rooms, kitchens and beyond. With neutral hues reigning supreme, pair splitface wall tiles with other organic elements like wood, wool rugs and greenery to create a rural retreat. 

Alternatively, you can bring texture into the space with high-gloss finishes like fan-shaped tiles. With elegant curves and a shiny surface, these tiles lend a luxury vibe that’s reminiscent of Art Deco interiors. We love the idea of creating an ocean-inspired space, using these tiles in blue to create a fish scale effect.

Favour imperfect finishes

Glossy finishes aren’t for everyone – and the good news is that imperfect, weathered finishes are in right now.

When it comes to tiling ideas, you can use various different types of tiles. One option is to choose tiles that have that ‘handmade’ look, like our Hope tiles. With differing colouring across each tile, they create a perfectly imperfect finish that’s impossible not to love.

Other ideas include crackle glaze tiles which scream vintage vibes. Whether you go for classic retro metro tiles or a design with an undulating surface and antique glaze, the finish will feel completely bespoke and packed with personality.

Go for autumnal hues

If you want a seasonal update that really captures the natural beauty of autumn, don’t be afraid to go for coloured tiles in warm, rich shades that mirror the colours outside. 

To keep things traditional, quarry tiles and rustic designs in deep reds and earthy terracotta tones are practical, stylish and welcoming for kitchen, bathroom and hallway floors. 

If you prefer a more contemporary aesthetic, skinny tiles in warm, spicy hues like mustard, turmeric, orange and burgundy will instantly inject colour, character and autumnal cheer into your home. Take this one step further with full monochrome interiors that drench the area in a single colour to create an inviting, enveloping space.

Whether you want your seasonal update to mirror the colours outside and deliver that snug, soothing effect or you’re keen to make a splash with out-there tiling and textures, we’re sure you’ll find plenty of inspiration right here.
