Designing or renovating an ensuite? Choosing the right tiles is one of the most important decisions you’ll make — not just for style, but for functionality and longevity. At Ionic Stone, we understand that your ensuite is more than just a practical space — it’s a personal retreat. With decades of experience supplying premium stone and porcelain tiles across the UK, we’re here to help you make the right choice.

Here’s our expert guide to choosing tiles that bring lasting beauty and comfort to your ensuite.

Start with Your Space in Mind
Ensuites are often compact, so smart tile choices can make a big difference. Lighter tones and larger-format tiles visually expand the space by reflecting more light and reducing grout lines. If your ensuite is on the smaller side, opt for neutral shades like soft ivory, pale grey, or warm taupe to keep things feeling airy.

Ionic Tip: Our Industria Zinc Porcelain or Crema Marfil Honed Marble are perfect choices for a timeless, light-filled ensuite.

Choose Tiles That Work as Hard as They Look Good
Moisture resistance and durability are non-negotiable in an ensuite. For flooring, we recommend slip-resistant porcelain or textured natural stone to ensure safety without compromising style. For walls, you can go glossier for a sleek, clean finish that’s easy to wipe down.

Ionic Recommendation: Our Slip-Resistant Porcelain Collection offers stylish, safe options ideal for wet environments — all rated R10/R11 are perfect for additional peace of mind.

Define Your Style with Colour and Texture
Your tile selection sets the mood. Whether you’re aiming for minimalist luxury, rustic charm, or a bold contemporary look, Ionic Stone offers a wide range of textures, finishes, and tones to suit every design vision.

Mix and Match with Purpose
Mixing different tiles adds dimension to an ensuite, but balance is key. Pairing a statement floor tile with a more subtle wall tile can create visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Design Inspiration from Ionic: Use hexagon mosaic tiles on a feature wall behind your vanity or in your shower and balance them with larger format natural stone tiles on the floor.

Don’t Overlook Grout — It Matters
Grout may seem minor, but it has a major impact on the final look. A seamless, tone-on-tone grout can make your tiles flow smoothly, while a contrasting grout can highlight the tile pattern.

Pro Insight: For a contemporary contrast, pair our Soho Retro Black metro tiles with white grout — a stylish and practical combination for an ensuite splash zone.

Think Long-Term
At Ionic Stone, we always recommend investing in quality tiles that will stand the test of time — both stylistically and structurally. Trends may come and go, but stone and porcelain finishes in classic tones are always in style.

Our Promise: Every tile we stock is carefully selected for quality, durability, and design integrity. Whether you’re a homeowner or trade professional, we’ll help you find a tile solution that lasts.
