Raku Tiles

In our Raku tiles collection, you’ll find a beautiful array of Japanese-style tiles which are ideal for curating bespoke interiors that celebrate unique tones and textures.

Raku firing is an ancient Japanese tile glazing technique that uses fire, wind, earth and air to create a distinctive finish with colour and texture variants. The end result is an interior wall tile that’s bursting with unique charm and character.

With various colours in stock, including teal, white, grey and blue, you can buy these Japanese tiles online with UK-wide shipping available.

Why choose Japanese tiles?

One of the main draws of Raku-style Japanese tiles is the one-of-a-kind aesthetic they offer through their varying tones and textures. There’s plenty more to these tiles than just their good looks, though:

• Longevity: if you want durable, long-lasting interiors, these ceramic wall tiles will deliver - protecting the surface beneath from everyday wear and tear for years
• Water resistance: finished with a shiny glaze, these ceramic tiles repel water away from the surface - making them a solid choice for sink splashbacks, shower enclosures and other wet areas
• Easy-to-clean surface: with a glossy finish, these Japanese tiles are a breeze to keep clean. All they’ll need is a wipe down with a cloth and regular cleaning solution to restore their shine and beauty
• Versatility: stocked in a choice of cool, soothing shades that complement a wide range of other colours, you’ll find countless ways to style these tiles in both modern and classic decor themes
• Authenticity: designed to look like real Raku glazed ceramic tiles, these tiles will help you mimic a realistic, handmade tile look wherever they’re installed

Your Japanese Raku tile colour options

With any home interior design project, colour has a crucial part to play - making it essential to find just the right shade. 

Our Raku range is home to a choice of elegant colour options that can be used to curate a broad range of different aesthetics. Your colour options include: 

White: these off-white Japanese tiles will make sure white interiors never feel bland or boring, thanks to their tonal nuances and endless texture

• Grey: channel a cool, timeless vibe with a mixture of earthy grey hues that will bring depth and character to your walls
• Blue: soothing blue shades evoke a sense of serenity, with watery undertones that are right at home in bathrooms
• Teal: create a strong connection with nature, using teal green hues on the walls with striking variable tones and textures

Styling your Japanese tiles

Designed to look like rows of smaller square tiles, these Raku Japanese tiles come with a pre-scored look that can be filled with grout once in situ. In a larger format of 31.6cm x 60cm, this makes them easier to lay and style in various settings.

From sink splashbacks to feature walls, here are just some of the ways these tiles can help you to pull off a bespoke, artisanal interior:

• The bathroom: go for a classic blue and white bathroom colour scheme with a twist, as the stunning tonal differences and texture will create an enchanting oceanic look
• The kitchen: introduce colour and texture into practical cooking spaces with a teal tiled splashback against beige units that celebrate its uniqueness
• The living room: use grey tiles to add a little interest and a layered effect to minimalist Japandi living room interiors
• The hallway: with a high-gloss finish, you can give hallways a luxurious look and added practicality - protecting busy thoroughfares from everyday scuffs and marks
