Renovating a bathroom can be expensive, but at Tile Space, we believe that luxury doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. One of the most creative and cost-effective ways to design a high-end bathroom is by mixing affordable tile options, like our Magic Stone range, with premium selections from our Japanese, Italian or other designer ranges. By thoughtfully combining these tiles, you can create a stunning feature wall that brings a sense of opulence without blowing your budget.

The Magic Stone Range: Affordable Versatility

Our Magic Stone range offers a natural stone look at a fraction of the price of real stone. With its neutral tones and subtle textures, this affordable tile is perfect for covering larger areas, such as floors and walls, while keeping costs down. It gives the room an elegant, understated backdrop, allowing you to allocate your budget towards a striking feature wall.

The Power of the Feature Wall

A feature wall is a fantastic design element that draws attention and elevates the entire room. By using premium tiles, such as those from our Designer collections, you can make this focal point the star of your bathroom. These tiles often feature intricate designs, luxurious materials, and a unique sense of craftsmanship, creating a high-end look.

What’s more, because you’re only using them on one wall, you can splurge on quality tiles without needing a large quantity. This strategic placement makes the premium tiles a design highlight while keeping overall costs low.

1. Textured Magic Stone with Bold Japanese Patterns: The subtle, matte finish of Magic Stone tiles pairs beautifully with the rich, bold patterns often found in Japanese tile design. You can opt for intricate geometric or floral motifs on your feature wall to add a striking contrast.

2. Neutral Magic Stone with Metallic Accents: Combine the natural stone look of Magic Stone tiles on your bathroom floor and surrounding walls with metallic or glass tiles from our premium range. This adds a hint of glamour and sophistication without overwhelming the space.
