2023 is just around the corner and it has been a great year for not just tiles but the whole of interior and exterior design. We have seen new trends grow, particularly through networks such as instagram and TikTok. We love the creative flare that has been spawned from the design community.
Our closing blog article for the year covers our top tile brands of 2022.
These listed brands have produced some of the best quality and best designed tiles. Whether you are looking to give your home or outdoor space a new makeover, or you are looking for inspiration our blog has you covered!
Please note that many of our listed brands are from Spain. If they are not from Spain we will note their country of origin! Spain has a long history of producing world class tile brands due to the fact they are made from cement. This creates a high quality tile finish that is highly durable all year round!
El Barco Tiles
Residing from Spain, ‘El Barco’ Tiles are the first tile brand on our list of top tile brands. They have been creating tiles for 100 years. They specialise in specifically manufacturing red and white body ceramic tiles.
Despite being around for 100 years, El Barco have not always been a trendy tile designer. Like many thriving businesses in today’s world they had to find their feet. During the boom in small form tiles in recent years they were able to gain notoriety through their beautiful, innovative designs!
The El Barco range covers floor and wall ceramic tiles. These tiles are perfect for indoor spaces if you are looking to freshen up that space of your home. We recommend you check out the Element Gloss White tile and Kintay Gris Decor.
If you are unsure of which El Barco tile you would like, you can always take advantage of our Free Samples service. Enquire today to learn more!

Geotiles
The second brand on our list of top tile brands is Geotiles. They have managed to spread their products and brand to over 100 countries and 5 continents. So much so, that Geotiles have been voted the winner of the Export Award by the Chamber of Commerce.
Geotiles have a great approach to manufacturing. They are concerned with the environment as they have an environmentally friendly product range, with all of their products being made with ethically sourced materials and machinery. You can learn more about their “Quality and Environment Policy” here.
They produce a wide variety of porcelain tiles such as polished, geostone and glazed. They also stock White and Red bodies also. The Online Tile Shop stocks a wide variety of Geotiles range. Be sure to check out their Borba Blanco and Provence Grey. All of our tile options are available in multiple sizes. Contact us to find out more about our sizing and prices!
Alaplana
Alaplana produces high quality ceramic and porcelain tiles that fit both outdoor and indoor living spaces in any home looking for a tile makeover. Whilst their tiles are extremely high quality and durable, their price points are not compromised as their styles are accessible for any budget.
We currently stock a wide range of Alaplana tiles - if you are looking for a natural earthy tone on your tile, with a realistic surface finish then this is the brand for you. When you see their designs it comes as no surprise as to why we have featured them on our list.
Out of our selection of Alaplana tiles we recommend the Amalfi Beige and Bodo Snow Decor. The Amalfi option is a beautiful sand colour that would accompany any outside space that has a water producing function/ornament. Bodo Snow is almost like an art piece compressed into a tile. The fluctuation of shades will be beautiful in a shower room or even as a backsplash for your kitchen’s sink.
If you love a good Instagram picture then Alaplana’s tiles are beautiful to look at. Homes with open spaces and open light sources will work harmoniously with the Alaplana tile range.

Equipe
Equip your home with some Equipe tiles this New Year. Perfect for both the floor and wall, these tiles have to be some of our personal favourites. Whilst our other options above are all amazing in their own right, Equipe really do think outside of the box with their tile designs.
Their tiles feature bold, statement making designs that will make your home look like an art exhibition. Tiles from this brand are available in small and large form meaning you can utilise the patterns and designs extremely well when choosing Equipe tiles.
The Art Nouveau Folies Bergere and Art Nouveau Padua Black are the cherry on top from Equipe. Featuring abstract, yet traditional coloured symmetrical designs turn your home into the Louvre Museum.
