Laundry tiles.
The laundry works hard, so the tiles need to as well. Slip-rated floors, splashbacks that wipe clean, and finishes that lift a utility room into something you don't mind walking into. Built for the way Australian homes actually run.

Choosing laundry tiles
Slip rating is non-negotiable.A laundry floor will see water — from the machine, the trough, wet washing, kids tracking it in. R10 is the minimum for any laundry floor in Australia, and every floor tile in this collection meets or exceeds it. Wall tiles don't need a slip rating, but anything underfoot does.
Splashback height changes the room.The Australian standard is 600mm above the bench, which protects the wall from detergent and water splatter. But running tiles full-height to the ceiling, or at least to the underside of overhead cabinetry, looks dramatically more considered — and it's not much more tile.
Grout matters more here than most rooms. Laundries cop lint, detergent residue, and constant moisture. A mid-tone grey grout hides discolouration far better than white, and an epoxy or hybrid grout resists staining where standard cement will eventually go grey and patchy. Spend the extra on grout — it's the part that fails first.
Format suits the room.Small laundries do well with smaller-format tiles (subway, hexagon, mosaic) because there's less waste around trough and machine cut-outs. Larger formats can work, but plan the layout around fixtures before you order.
Planning & ordering
Coordinate with the bathroom. If your laundry sits next to or shares a wall with the bathroom, running a complementary or matching tile across both rooms reads as a deliberate design choice. It also helps resale — buyers notice continuity, and rentals photograph better when wet areas feel like one scheme.
Dark vs light, and what each hides. Light tiles (white, bone, soft grey) make a small laundry feel bigger and bounce light around, but they show lint and detergent splash. Dark tiles hide marks but can make a windowless laundry feel closed-in. A mid-tone floor with a lighter splashback is the safest middle ground.
Make a small laundry feel bigger. Run the same tile from floor to splashback to visually expand the room. Use a large-format tile on the wall to reduce grout lines. Stick to one or two finishes — too many materials in a small space crowds it.
Order 10–15% extra. Cuts around the trough, the machine, and the corner of the bench eat tile fast. Always order from one batch — dye-lot differences make top-ups risky. Questions? Talk to a tile expert →
Laundry tile questions
What slip rating for a laundry floor?
R10 minimum. R11 if you have a floor waste and frequent water spills. Every floor tile in this collection meets R10 or above.
How high should the splashback go?
600mm above the bench is standard. Full-height to the ceiling or cabinet underside looks far more considered and adds only minor tile cost.
Can I use the same tile in my laundry and bathroom?
Yes — if slip rating, size and tone work in both rooms. Continuity across adjacent wet areas reads as intentional and improves resale appeal.
Are mosaics a bad idea on laundry floors?
No — dense grout joints actually improve grip. Use epoxy grout so joints stay clean through years of detergent exposure.
Most low-maintenance laundry tile?
Mid-grey concrete-look porcelain. Hides lint and dust, needs no sealing, and pairs with a mid-grey epoxy grout that stays clean with minimal effort.
