Wide range of motif tiles
First, patterned, printed, and motif tiles are available in a wide range of colours, sizes, and designs. You'll find them in almost every conceivable colour, meaning they easily match your home's existing décor. The most well-known patterned tiles are Portuguese cement tiles.
In this blog post, we mainly highlight ceramic tiles with a motif. With motif tiles, don't just think of tiles with a colour print depicted on them, but also tiles where the shape of the tiles creates a motif. See, for example, the diamond motif on the black wall tiles in photo 3.

Motif tiles create atmosphere in the home
Patterned tiles can add so much personality to a room. They come in all sorts of colours, shapes, and sizes, so you can truly make the space your own. Whether you're looking for a subtle accent or a bold statement, patterned tiles are a great way to spice up your home. They create an enormous amount of atmosphere in the home.

Patterned tiles are suitable for all rooms in the house
Patterned or motif tiles are suitable for all indoor and outdoor spaces. Not only are garden tiles with motifs available, but there are also many indoor tiles with motifs to be found. You can place wall tiles with a motif on your kitchen's back wall, floor tiles with a motif in the hall or toilet, or patterned tiles in the bathroom. With these trendy printed tiles, you can easily add an atmosphere of your choice to any room.

Motif tiles are durable
Motif tiles are generally very durable and easy to maintain, making them a suitable choice for any room in your home. Because indoor patterned tiles are largely made of ceramic and porcelain, they are extremely hard, wear-resistant, dimensionally stable, scratch-resistant, colourfast, and waterproof. The patterns are applied with a top layer and do not wear off the tiles.
Do you want a durable motif in your home, but not a variant with a busy print? There are also ceramic tiles with a wood motif. A durable solution for, for example, a bathroom floor. Atmospheric, but not striking.

Motif tiles are relatively inexpensive
Ceramic motif tiles are relatively inexpensive and easy to install, making them a great option for those on a budget. Patterned tiles are available from as little as 20 euros per m2. You don't need to buy expensive interior decorations or artworks to create atmosphere in the living room, bathroom, toilet, or kitchen. Simply tile one wall in a room and you'll create a real eye-catcher.

Motif tiles are unique and special
If you want an interior design that is just a bit different from all those other standard interiors, choose motif tiles. When you look for more luxurious design motif tiles, you'll discover that many unique designs are available. Villeroy and Boch, for example, have very special patterned tiles that you won't see anywhere else, and more luxurious tile dealers also have motif tiles that you won't find in DIY stores. This way, you create a unique interior design in your home.
