Which red tiles can you find here?
The range of red tiles is small and straightforward: they are ceramic tiles, mostly intended for indoor walls. The shades range from warm, earthy terra and terracotta to deep garnet and stone red cotto. Note: the names terracotta and cotto refer to the color. These are ceramic tiles, not unglazed terracotta.

Red tiles in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet
Red tiles are at their best in the kitchen as a backsplash: small glossy tiles or fish scales create a lively, artisanal surface behind a white, green, or wood kitchen. Find more options in other colors in our kitchen wall tiles. In the bathroom, you can use red on a shower wall or niche and keep the rest understated. The toilet is the place to be bold: a fully red wall makes a statement without being overwhelming. For inspiration, also browse our toilet tiles.
Vintage or concrete look, matte or glossy
Most red tiles have a vintage look with color variation from tile to tile; there are also red wall tiles with a subtle concrete look, including Beton Cire Bercy Terra in 60x120, also available as a decorative tile. Matte red looks soft and earthy, while glossy red is deeper and more vibrant. If you like the artisanal style, also browse our vintage tiles; for a sleek, uniform surface, concrete-look tiles are a good fit.
Tips for installation and care
- Indoor use only: most red tiles are not frost-resistant and are intended for indoor walls; do not use them outdoors.
- Floor: if you want red flooring, choose a tile suitable for both floors and walls, such as Colourstyle Cotto 10x10 or Beton Cire Bercy Terra 60x120.
- Grout color: light grout brings out the pattern of small red tiles; warm beige or gray grout creates a calmer look.
- Care: clean with mild soapy water or a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Install them yourself: read our tips on installing wall tiles.
