What are Designers Choice tiles
Designers Choice is a curated selection of designer-look tiles from The Blue Space, put together for renovators who want a considered, higher-end appearance without needing to shop the most premium end of the tile market. The range sits in an accessible, cost-conscious bracket, making it a practical starting point for bathroom, kitchen and living space renovations where the overall look matters as much as individual tile specification. It suits homeowners and renovators who want tiles that read as designer-selected rather than generic, while keeping the rest of the renovation budget available for other fixtures and finishes.
What this range covers
This collection spans tiles across a range of styles suited to bathroom, kitchen and general living applications. Because it is curated for a considered look at an accessible price bracket, tiles in this range are a sensible option when tiling a larger area, such as a full bathroom floor and wall, where cost per square metre adds up quickly across a bigger surface.
Buying considerations
Before choosing a tile, confirm its intended application, whether it is rated for floor use, wall use, or both, since not every tile is suited to every surface. Check the tile size against the area you are tiling, as larger format tiles can reduce the number of grout lines and suit larger rooms, while smaller formats may suit feature areas or spaces with more complex shapes. Always order slightly more than your measured area to allow for cutting, wastage and future repairs, and confirm all tiles for a single job come from the same batch to avoid visible colour or shade variation.
Where budget-friendly tiles make sense
An accessible, well-priced tile range is a practical choice when the tiled area is large, when you are balancing spend across multiple parts of a renovation, or when you want a designer look without allocating the largest share of the budget to tiles specifically. It also suits rental properties, investment renovations or secondary bathrooms where a considered look matters but does not need to be the most premium option available.
Installation
Tile installation should be carried out by a qualified tiler, who can confirm the correct adhesive, grout and waterproofing requirements for your specific application, particularly in wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries.
Who this range suits
Designers Choice suits renovators who want a curated, higher-end look at an accessible price point, whether tiling a full bathroom, a kitchen splashback, or another living space.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a tile part of the Designers Choice range?
These tiles have been curated for a considered, designer-look appearance while sitting in a more accessible, cost-conscious price bracket. The focus is on giving renovators a higher-end look without needing to shop the most premium tier of the market. Check individual product listings for style and application details.
Are Designers Choice tiles suitable for a full bathroom renovation?
Yes, this range is a practical option for larger tiling jobs such as a full bathroom floor and wall, where cost per square metre matters more given the larger surface area. Always confirm whether a specific tile is rated for floor use, wall use, or both before ordering. A qualified tiler can advise on suitability for your exact layout.
How much extra tile should I order beyond my measured area?
It is standard practice to order slightly more than your measured area to allow for cutting, wastage and any future repairs. Your tiler can help calculate the right buffer based on the tile size and the complexity of your space. Ordering from the same batch for the full job also helps avoid visible shade variation.
Can I use these tiles for a kitchen splashback as well as a bathroom?
The range covers tiles suited to bathroom, kitchen and general living applications, so a splashback is a reasonable use case. Check the specific tile listing to confirm it is rated for the application you have in mind. Your tiler can also confirm the right adhesive and finish for a splashback installation.
Do budget-friendly designer tiles compromise on look?
The intent of this range is to offer a considered, designer-style appearance at a more accessible price point, rather than a lower-quality alternative. It suits renovators who want to balance spend across a project while still achieving a considered look. Reviewing the specific style and finish on each product page will confirm it matches the aesthetic you are after.
