Study & home office tiles.

More Australians are tiling home offices. The post-pandemic home office upgrade pushed the study from a converted spare bedroom to a properly specified room. Tile delivers durability, easier cleaning and a more professional look than carpet.

The chair wheel question is real but solvable. Most tile finishes handle office chair castors fine. Avoid pronounced ribbed textures and rough structured surfaces. Specify a smooth matte or lappato finish and the issue disappears.

Acoustics need a moment of thought. A small, hard-floored study can echo on video calls. The fix is a large rug under the desk and chair area. The rug solves the acoustic problem without forcing any compromise on the tile spec itself.

Timber-look is the dominant study floor. It reads warm and professional, doesn't push the room toward bathroom territory, and pairs naturally with timber desk furniture, bookshelves and the leather of a decent office chair.

Large format concrete-look is the architectural alternative. A 600×1200 porcelain in a soft warm grey reads as a serious workspace — closer to a studio than a converted second bedroom. Pair it with a quality rug and the room earns its keep.

Order with care. Measure the full room including under the desk and shelving. Add 10% wastage. Get a quote →
