Floor Tiles Design for Hall and Living Room

24 designs Tiles by room Updated 8 Oct 2026

Choosing a floor tiles design for hall areas is a big call, because the hall is the first room guests see and the floor stays for twenty years or more. These tile images for home hall floors cover glossy, marble look, wood look, big slab and border designs, with the size, finish and a laying tip for each.

A hall in India takes shoes, dust from the road, furniture moving at festivals and kids playing on the floor. So look beyond the colour. Think about how it cleans, how it feels under bare feet and whether it shows scratches. For matching walls, see our living room wall tiles page.

Glossy Hall Floor Tiles

Glossy hall floor tiles reflect light and make a hall look bigger. They need a doormat at every entry, because grit scratches the shine.

How to Select Tiles for Living Room Floors

Type: vitrified, double charge or porcelain. They take foot traffic well.
Size: 600 x 600 mm for small halls, 800 x 800 or 600 x 1200 mm for most, slabs for big rooms.
Finish: glossy looks bright but scratches; satin and matt are safer with elders.
Colour: beige, ivory and light grey are the best tile color for living room floors that see dust.

Check our tile size guide and tiles colour design page before you buy.

Laying and Care

Start from the centre of the hall so cut tiles are equal at both walls. Use 2 to 3 mm joints. Fix a 100 mm skirting. Buy 10 percent extra from one batch. Sweep daily and mop with plain water and a mild liquid. Put felt pads under furniture legs.
