Living Room Floor Tile Designs

From timelessly classic to quirky and bold - the interior design style of your living room has a major call here. A pro tip - also consider the soft furnishings, the furniture, and decorative accents of your living room.

Modern Monochromes

Modern, sunlit living space with large windows, neutral tones, and minimal decor. Includes potted plants, two chairs with a scenic ocean view.

For a minimalist design that maximizes natural light, opt for a monochromatic palette. Shades of off-white, beige, or cool gray create a light and airy feel that enhances nearly any decor style. For this look, we recommend our large-format porcelain tiles. Their minimal grout lines amplify the seamlessness of the monochrome design.

Play of Marble or Luxe Natural Stone

Marble-Look Porcelain Tiles capture the elegant veining of Carrara and Calacatta without the cost or upkeep of real stone. We also carry stunning Travertine-Look and Onyx-Look styles, ensuring you get the luxe aesthetic with maximum durability.

Warm and Earthy

A cozy living room with a beige L-shaped sofa and orange pillows. Warm light filters from a large window, illuminating a plant and artwork of orange flowers. Mood is calm and inviting.

If you prefer a warmer, richer color palette, embrace earthy floor tiles that bring cozy vibes to your living room. Consider the authentic texture of Terracotta-Look Tiles or the timeless appeal of our durable Wood Plank Tiles. These styles beautifully anchor a room and pair perfectly with warm-toned furniture and soft furnishings.

Living Room Floor Tile Shape

The tile shape can instantly spark a sense of distinctiveness and playfulness in your living room. We, at Mineral Tiles, offer three major tile-shape designs!

Square

Modern bathroom with beige tiles, featuring a freestanding bathtub, wooden stool, large potted plant, glass shower, and a double-sink vanity. Bright and serene.

Classic and contemporary - the square tiles are one of the most popular options. They can work for most interior design styles and you can even play with multiple tones to add a dynamic factor.

Rectangular

Whether you’re looking to mimic the real-time hardwood or natural stone look, the rectangular tiles can achieve the desired appeal. These wide plank tiles are easy to clean and maintain and can exhibit a perfectly modern and contemporary appeal.

Hexagon 

Spacious, bright living room with large windows, beige sofa, wooden dining table with chairs, and modern fireplace. A relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

Generally, for larger spaces such as the living room, it’s ideal that you choose larger-format tiles. So, if square and rectangular tiles are too old-school for you - ‘hexagon’ is another living room tile shape to consider. You can choose a honeycomb mosaic effect to create an eye-catching and stunning statement in the living room. Avoid penny or small tile patterns in much larger spaces!

FAQs

Which is better for the living room - tiles or marble?

Tiles win for practical homes! They're more durable, scratch-resistant, and need less maintenance. Marble looks luxurious but stains easily and requires regular polishing.

What tile size is best for standard Indian living rooms?

For most Indian living rooms (150-300 sq ft), we recommend 24x24 inches. They create a modern look with fewer grout lines. For smaller rooms, 18x18 inches works better.

Are tiles too cold for the winter months?

They can feel cool, but solutions exist:

  • Use warm-toned wood-look tiles
  • Add beautiful area rugs
  • Consider underfloor heating (budget option)

How long do living room tiles typically last?

Quality porcelain tiles last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Our premium range comes with a 15-year warranty for peace of mind.

Can we install tiles over existing flooring?

Yes, but only if the existing floor is even and stable. We recommend a professional assessment. Height increase of 1-2 inches will occur.
