Hexagon Tiles

Hexagon tiles, also known as hex tiles, are six-sided tiles that offer a geometric and contemporary twist on traditional tile shapes. At Hyperion Tiles, we find they remain incredibly popular because of their ability to add subtle texture or bold statement design, depending on how they’re used. Their unique shape creates eye-catching patterns whether you opt for a uniform colour or mix shades for contrast. Hexagon tiles suit both walls and floors and are available in a wide range of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, marble, and even natural stone. They work brilliantly in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and feature areas. Whether you're aiming for a Scandinavian-inspired minimalist look or a more intricate patterned layout, hex tiles offer design flexibility that standard squares or rectangles can't match. Their timeless appeal and versatility make them a favourite for homeowners and interior designers looking to create something a little different.

Hexagon tiles are incredibly versatile and can be used in many areas of the home. At Hyperion Tiles, we often recommend them for both floors and walls, thanks to their durable finish and striking aesthetic. In kitchens, hexagon tiles work wonderfully as splashbacks, adding a geometric edge behind hobs or sinks. In bathrooms, they’re a favourite for shower enclosures, flooring, or as feature panels around basins. Their shape allows for creative layouts, including gradient effects, tonal blends, or statement borders. Hexagon tiles are also ideal for hallways and entranceways, where they can add impact and durability in high-traffic zones. We even see customers using them in utility rooms, cloakrooms, and occasionally in living spaces as a feature wall or fireplace surround. The format suits both traditional and contemporary homes, offering endless opportunities to personalise your space with a pattern that’s both visually interesting and practical.

Yes, hexagon tiles are an excellent choice for floors and offer a fantastic alternative to more common tile shapes. At Hyperion Tiles, we supply a wide range of hard-wearing porcelain and ceramic hex tiles that are specifically rated for floor use. These tiles are especially well suited to bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and utility rooms, thanks to their durability and slip resistance. The distinctive six-sided shape means you can create eye-catching patterns that range from subtle to bold depending on the colours and layout you choose. You can even blend different shades to create a gradient or ombré effect. Textured finishes are also available for added grip and comfort underfoot. Unlike many floor tiles, hexagons bring an added layer of design interest without sacrificing function. Whether you're styling a Victorian-inspired hallway or a clean, modern bathroom floor, hex tiles are a practical yet distinctive solution for everyday use.

While hexagon tiles offer stunning visual appeal, their unique shape can make them slightly more complex to install than standard square or rectangular tiles. At Hyperion Tiles, we always recommend using an experienced professional tiler if you're working with a large area or aiming for a detailed pattern. The six-sided design means each tile must be positioned precisely to maintain uniform grout lines and ensure a flawless finish. That said, smaller feature areas or splashbacks are often manageable for confident DIYers, especially if you’re using mosaic-style hex tiles fixed to mesh backing sheets. These can help simplify alignment and speed up installation. Our range includes a variety of sizes and finishes, and we provide full product specifications and technical guidance where needed. With the right preparation, adhesive and spacing, hexagon tiles can be fitted beautifully and will reward you with a standout finish that elevates any interior.

Our hexagon tile collection at Hyperion Tiles spans a wide variety of finishes and materials to suit every style of interior. We offer sleek ceramic and durable porcelain options for both floors and walls, alongside more luxurious choices like marble and natural stone. If you’re looking to introduce warmth and texture, we also stock matt-finish hex tiles in earthy tones and handcrafted effects. For something more dramatic, our high-gloss and patterned ranges allow for striking feature walls or splashbacks. We even carry metallic and iridescent finishes, as well as encaustic-style tiles for period-inspired projects. Whether you want a clean, modern look with crisp white hex tiles or prefer a more eclectic palette using mixed colours and finishes, our range gives you the flexibility to design a space that’s truly individual. With a variety of sizes, from petite mosaics to larger formats, you can tailor the look to suit your layout.

Absolutely. Mixing hexagon tiles with other tile shapes can create a unique and visually striking effect, and at Hyperion Tiles, we encourage our customers to get creative. Hex tiles pair well with rectangular or square tiles to create beautiful transitions between zones—for example, blending hexagon tiles into wooden plank-effect flooring in open-plan kitchens or defining a shower area within a larger bathroom floor. You can also use hexagons as a patterned border or combine different shapes and colours to add visual interest to splashbacks and feature walls. For a seamless look, choose coordinating colours and finishes that tie different elements of the room together. For bolder statements, contrast your hex tiles with contrasting materials like marble, concrete-effect tiles or terrazzo styles. Our team is always happy to provide styling advice and layout ideas to help you achieve a bespoke finish that feels cohesive and design-led.
