18 designs Floor, wall and material Updated 8 Oct 2026

Wooden floor tiles give you the warm look of timber without termites, swelling or polishing. Made on glazed vitrified or porcelain bodies, they carry a printed and textured wood face, so they handle mopping, monsoon damp and hard water with ease.

This gallery shows 18 wood tiles design ideas: plank floors, bedrooms, wood wall tiles, herringbone, balconies and light and dark wood shades. With every photo you get the plank size, the finish and a pointer for your mason.

Wood Plank Tile Floors

A wood plank tile is long and narrow, like a real floorboard. Most plank tile sizes run 200 x 1200 mm, with 150 x 900 mm for smaller rooms.

Wood plank tile floor in natural oak colour across a living room — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Matt wood grain
Best for
Living rooms
Natural oak planks suit almost any sofa and wall colour. Long planks run the eye across the room and make it feel longer.
**Fitter's tip:** Lay planks along the longest wall and stagger end joints by a third of the plank.

Walnut wooden floor tiles in long planks for a home study room — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Satin
Best for
Study rooms
Walnut brown gives a study a warm, quiet mood. The deeper tone hides scuffs from chair wheels.
**Fitter's tip:** Put felt pads under chair legs; even tough tiles show fine marks from metal feet.

Short wood plank tile floor in honey colour for a narrow passage — Size
150 x 900 mm
Finish
Matt
Best for
Passages and lobbies
Short 150 x 900 mm planks fit narrow passages with less waste. Honey tones brighten a dark corridor.
**Fitter's tip:** Run planks along the passage, never across it, so the space does not look shorter.

Wooden Floor Tiles Design for Bedrooms

Bedrooms are the most common place for a wood look tile. They feel warmer underfoot than glossy white and go well with wooden beds and wardrobes.

Wooden floor tiles design in light ash colour for a master bedroom — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Matt
Best for
Master bedrooms
Light ash wood tiles keep a bedroom airy and calm. They suit flats where rooms get little sun.
**Fitter's tip:** Keep the skirting in the same wood tile, cut 100 mm high, for a clean edge.

Teak wood tiles in a kids room floor with a soft matt anti-skid finish — Size
200 x 1000 mm
Finish
Matt anti-skid
Best for
Kids rooms
Teak tones hide spills and crayon marks, and a matt anti-skid finish is safer when children run around.
**Fitter's tip:** Choose a textured wood tile; glossy wood looks fake and is slippery with socks.

Wooden vitrified tiles in 600 x 600 mm square size for a guest bedroom — Size
600 x 600 mm (2 x 2 ft)
Finish
Matt
Best for
Guest bedrooms
Square wooden vitrified tiles cost less and fit small rooms easily. The wood print still looks warm from a standing height.
**Fitter's tip:** Turn every other tile 90 degrees if the print looks too repetitive.

Wood Wall Tiles Design

Wood wall tiles add warmth behind a bed, TV or dining table. They are lighter than real panels and can be wiped clean. See more on our living room wall tiles page.

Wooden tiles design for wall behind a living room TV unit — Size
200 x 1000 mm
Finish
Matt wood grain
Best for
TV walls
A wood wall behind the TV unit hides cables in the joints and gives the room a focal point.
**Fitter's tip:** Mark the TV bracket and socket positions before tiling so you drill through joints.

Wood texture wall tiles in a dining area with grey wash planks — Size
150 x 900 mm
Finish
Textured
Best for
Dining walls
Grey wash wood tiles feel modern and suit white or black dining furniture. The texture hides fingerprints.
**Fitter's tip:** Use slim grey grout lines so the planks read as one panel on the wall.

Herringbone and Other Wood Tile Patterns

Wood tile patterns change the whole mood of a room. They add labour and waste, so order more spare tiles than for a straight layout.

Herringbone wood tile pattern in oak colour across a living hall floor — Size
100 x 600 mm
Finish
Matt
Best for
Medium to large halls
Herringbone looks classic and hides small level differences. It works best in medium to large halls.
**Fitter's tip:** Order 15 percent extra and start the herringbone from a centre line, not a wall.

Chevron wood tiles in light and dark tones for an entrance foyer — Size
90 x 600 mm
Finish
Satin
Best for
Entrance foyers
Chevron uses angled cut ends to make a clean zigzag. Two tones make a small foyer look special.
**Fitter's tip:** Chevron tiles come with angled ends; check left and right pieces before the fitter starts.

Wooden pattern tiles in a basketweave layout for a reading corner — Size
100 x 400 mm
Finish
Matt
Best for
Small reading rooms
Basketweave uses pairs of planks at right angles. It feels cosy and suits small rooms.
**Fitter's tip:** Lay pairs from the centre and check each block is square before fixing the next.

Wood Finish Tiles for Balconies

Wood finish tiles for balconies must be outdoor grade and anti-skid. They give a deck look with no rot.

Wood finish floor tiles with anti-skid texture on a city balcony — Size
200 x 1000 mm
Finish
Anti-skid
Best for
City balconies
Anti-skid wood finish tiles take rain and pots without stains. They make a small balcony feel like a deck.
**Fitter's tip:** Slope the floor towards the outlet; standing water leaves hard water rings on the tiles.

Wood style tiles in a deck look on a rooftop terrace sit-out — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Textured anti-skid
Best for
Terrace sit-outs
A deck look on a terrace makes a cosy sit-out zone. Keep the rest of the terrace in a light colour to stay cool.
**Fitter's tip:** Lay over waterproofing with epoxy joints; deck tiles here face full sun and rain.

Grey wood tile on a balcony garden floor with planters — Size
150 x 900 mm
Finish
Rustic matt
Best for
Balcony gardens
Grey wood tones stay cooler in sun and show less dust. They pair well with green plants.
**Fitter's tip:** Raise planters on stands so water drains and does not stain the tiles.

Light and Dark Wooden Colour Tiles

Wooden colour tiles range from white wash to deep espresso. Light colours open up small rooms, dark ones add warmth to large ones.

White wood tile in a white wash look for a small flat living room — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Matt
Best for
Small flats
White wash wood tiles make a small flat feel brighter. They suit Scandinavian style rooms with simple furniture.
**Fitter's tip:** Use off-white grout; pure white grout shows dirt within weeks on a floor.

Dark brown wood tile in espresso colour in a large hall — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Satin
Best for
Large bright halls
Dark espresso wood looks rich in a large hall with white walls. It shows dust, so plan to mop often.
**Fitter's tip:** Avoid dark wood tiles in small, dim rooms; they make the space feel tight.

Wood color tiles in a mix of light and medium brown planks — Size
200 x 1200 mm
Finish
Matt
Best for
Open plan homes
Mixing two close wood shades looks like real timber, where every board differs. It also hides uneven fading.
**Fitter's tip:** Mix tiles from several boxes as you lay so no patch looks darker than the rest.

How to Choose a Wood Look Tile

Texture: pick a real wood grain feel. Flat printed wood looks fake up close.
Size: long planks for large rooms, short planks or 600 x 600 mm for small ones.
Finish: matt or satin indoors, anti-skid on balconies and bathrooms.
Colour: light oak and ash for small rooms, walnut and espresso for large bright rooms.
Cost: it rises with plank length, thickness, deep texture and pattern labour.

Fitting and Care for Wooden Floor Tiles

Use levelling clips on long planks; they bow slightly and can lip.
Keep 2 mm joints with spacers and use grout matched to the tile colour.
Stagger joints by a third of the plank, never half.
Mop with plain water and a mild cleaner. No waxing or polish needed.
Keep 10 percent spare tiles from the same batch for repairs.

Tile questions people ask

Are wooden floor tiles better than real wood?

In a humid Indian climate, tiles usually win. Printed wood tiles never swell, rot or draw termites, and a wet mop is all they need. Real timber feels warmer underfoot but needs more care through the monsoon.

Which size is best for wood plank tiles?

200 x 1200 mm is the most popular plank size for halls and bedrooms. Shorter 150 x 900 mm planks suit passages and small rooms. Square 600 x 600 mm wood print tiles are a lower cost option.

Can I use wood wall tiles in a bathroom?

Yes, if they are glazed ceramic or vitrified wall tiles. Use epoxy grout in wet zones and keep them away from direct shower spray if the texture is deep.

Are wood finish tiles slippery?

Matt and textured wood finish tiles are not slippery in normal use. Avoid glossy wood looks, and choose anti-skid versions for balconies, terraces and bathrooms.
