Tanger pattern tile questions
The Tanger tiles are a compact 123 x 123 mm format, which makes them ideally suited to smaller spaces such as cloakrooms, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks, and hallway details where their intricate Moroccan and Spanish-inspired patterns can really take centre stage. Their small scale also makes them a great option for feature inserts or borders within a larger tiled floor.
Yes, the Tanger collection is designed with a complementary white base tile included specifically so you can balance the patterned designs with plain areas, allowing you to control how bold or subtle the finished look feels. A popular approach is to lay the patterned tiles in a central panel or border and use the white base tile to fill the surrounding field, which keeps the look fresh and prevents the patterns from competing with one another.
The Tanger range features four unique patterned designs plus the white base tile, giving you five options to work with across your project. Because all four patterns share the same Moroccan and Southern Spanish colour palette and aesthetic, they are designed to sit harmoniously alongside one another so you can mix designs within the same floor or wall without the result looking mismatched.
Given the subtle matt finish and clean, fresh appearance of the Tanger tiles, a white or light grey grout is generally recommended to keep the joints visually unobtrusive and allow the pattern itself to remain the focal point. If you want to add a more graphic, artisan quality to the installation, a darker contrasting grout can accentuate the individual tile shapes and create a more defined, handcrafted look.
The Tanger tiles feature a matt finish which, combined with their compact size and narrow grout joints, provides good grip underfoot, making them a practical as well as decorative choice for bathroom floors and shower areas. Always ensure the surface beneath is properly waterproofed before laying any floor tile in a wet room environment, and use a grout that is rated for wet areas to prevent moisture ingress over time.
