The ceramic and porcelain tile design from different brands that we would like to introduce to you today can hardly be distinguished visually from real wood. Every idea for tiles has its own charm. For an elegant interior, the wood-look tiles with a shiny surface are suitable, while a rustic flair can be achieved with an idea for tiles with a used look, i.e. with seemingly worn wood.
Ceramic and porcelain tile design – Italian masterwork
In our gallery you will find various examples for walls as well as floors. They belong to different manufacturers, but they all have one thing in common: every idea for wood-look tiles looks incredibly real and is a true masterpiece. You will also find that most of the manufacturersItalian companiesare. This proves that the Italians are simply among the best in this regard.
Which one is more expensive?
As already mentioned, you have the choice between porcelain and ceramic. Visually speaking, both materials enable unique designs. The only difference between them is the price. Porcelain is a bit more expensive.
Im Used-Look
Worn wood looks very rustic and pleasant. With its help you can bring a natural ambience into your home. This is why this design is so popular for wood-look tiles. For example, above you can see a model from the vintage collection by NG Kutahya Seramik. The three different colors look very interesting, while the horizontal arrangement makes the bathroom appear larger.
Rectified tiles
Limba Serie von NG Kutahya Ceramics
Rectified tiles are the best choice for perfectionists. In addition, such a ceramic and porcelain tile design is a better choice if you want to lay them in a larger room. These are machine-finished tiles that have a perfect 90 degree angle.
Imitate parquet flooring
Kauri Series by NG Kutahya Ceramics
A rectified ceramic and porcelain tile design is so advantageous for wood-look tiles because no joints are necessary to compensate for any unevenness. The perfect corners and edges make it possible to arrange the tiles directly next to each other, as is the case with a parquet floor. This makes the floor or walls look much more authentic.
In a recycled wood look
As beautiful as old wood looks, it comes with some disadvantages: The gaps and holes it contains quickly fill with dirt, which is difficult, not to say impossible, to clean and can lead to the formation of bacteria. Fortunately, new technologies offer the possibility of simply imitating old wood with a ceramic and porcelain tile design. A great example of this is the Legno series you see above.
Old wood look in the bedroom
Porcelain tiles from Fioranese
This simply uses digital photography. This was beautifully implemented in Fioranese's design. The tiles appear just as uneven as old wood does. Anyone who doesn't suspect anything will be amazed when they suddenly notice a smoothness when touching it.
Modern and rustic at the same time
A ceramic and porcelain tile design with an old wood look can be wonderfully combined with modern accents. Same in this bathroom. The modern sink contrasts with the rustic flooring from Fioranese's Old Wood collection, which is available in oak, maple, walnut and cherry. How to find the perfect wood color for your home.
Patterns like wood
The porcelain tiles from Fioranese are offered in different colors and combinations of them. A special advantage that owners of dogs or cats in particular can and will love. Animal hair and other dirt are hardly noticeable with such a ceramic or porcelain tile design.
Easy-care floor covering
A real wooden floor is not particularly easy to care for. This is not the case with tiles. With a ceramic and porcelain tile design that imitates wood, you get a very easy-care floor that still has great properties such as a cozy atmosphere.
Dark gray wood design
Coke tiles from Italgraniti
A modern furnishing style can also be designed with an old wood look. The tiles from the Coke collection in dark gray are the perfect choice for this purpose. The effects that imitation wood can have are offered in six different versions.
Create zebra effect
As is well known, you can create a wide variety of designs and effects with tiles. A really interesting idea is this zebra pattern that can be achieved with the special porcelain tile design from Cerdomus from the Over collection. They imitate the so-called zebrawood.
The look of zebra wood is particularly suitable for modern furnishings. If you still want to incorporate a traditional style into the interior, arrange the ceramic or porcelain tile design in a herringbone pattern, as in this example.
This bathroom proves that floor tiles can also be used to decorate walls. For example, use the porcelain tile design from Cerdomus, which imitates zebra wood, for the walls in the bathroom.
Imitate exotic wood with tiles
Le Essenze collection by Lafaenza
Who doesn't dream of an interior made of exotic, elegant wood? But the fact that such wood always involves higher expenses means that it has an unfavorable consequence. And that is the fact that you are constantly worried about not damaging the wood and, for example, adding scratches and this prevents you from being able to fully enjoy your interior.
Just look at how realistic the porcelain tile design from Lafaenza looks. This proves that an imitation doesn't always have to mean a bad copy. The tiles have the same attractive and impressive pattern as real exotic wood and pair beautifully with wooden furniture to create a cozy atmosphere.
Like any other ceramic and porcelain tile design, Lafaenza's design is very easy to care for. Unlike a wooden floor, you no longer have to worry about direct sunlight coming through the windows. Because unlike real wood, the surfaces of the tiles do not fade. The perfect choice for houses and apartments with French windows or large window fronts.
You get a great Zen-style design if you use a light ceramic or porcelain tile design with a wood look not only for the floor, but also for the walls. Lafaenza tiles, for example, bring a calming atmosphere to any room.
Tiles from Revigres
Revigres also has a fantastic ceramic tile design with exotic wood imitation and also in different color nuances. A great idea is if you want to create an interior like this using different shades of color.
Modern Design
Just Venice Series by Gardenia Orchidea
If you don't like the cold properties of tiles at all and therefore avoid tiles, you may not have thought about underfloor heating yet. This can easily be combined with tiles and you can then really feel them. In modern furnishings, ceramic and porcelain tile designs with a wood look can be used throughout all rooms, where you can play with patterns and colors.
The great thing about wood is its neutral properties, thanks to which it can be combined with any material. The same applies to the ceramic and porcelain tile design that imitates wood, especially when it is as perfect as in the example above. An industrial kitchen and dining area was designed using the Venice collection from Gardenia Orchidea and concrete-look walls.
Tiles can be arranged in any way. See how the same tiles from the industrial kitchen look in a herringbone pattern. Small changes can achieve big things, depending on what your goal is in the facility. In any case, what we see here is a truly stunning dining room.
Foresta Timber tiles from Peronda
Graffiti is a very popular design method when it comes to modern furnishings and especially street style, or urban style. But if you don't want to have graffiti painted on the wall right away, you can consider such a unique design instead. Weathered wood and graffiti accents decorate the tiles. These porcelain models are suitable for both indoors and outdoors.
Foresta Seawood tiles from Peronda
This modern porcelain tile design is also from Peronda. They have an interesting color scheme of beige, brown and gray tones, which highlights the entire room. The eye is not only drawn to the walls and floor, but the modern furniture also comes into its own wonderfully without creating visual chaos.
The porcelain tile design is also the perfect choice if you want to furnish a room in beach style, because the subtle pastel tones are just the right colors for this.
You get an attractive patchwork design with this series from Peronda. The tiles have different patterns that make each individual piece look fantastic. However, in combination with other designs, a new impressive arrangement is created.
Once you have decided on this design, the only problem left is choosing the patterns. However, if you can't choose, just take all the pattern variants and use them to create a unique space that everyone will be jealous of.
With a ceramic or porcelain tile design with a wood look, you can also create a great contrast to a neutral white interior, as was done in this example. There are also the attractive wooden beams on the ceiling, which give the interior a rustic touch and are still beautifully complemented by the modern tiles.
Porcelain tiles from the Forest Burn collection
We think Peronda are true masters when it comes to creating interesting patterns. You will certainly have felt this too when you saw these tiles. They imitate handmade wooden boards that have a white, worn color. A porcelain tile design with a difference.
This porcelain tile design comes from the same collection. It combines the look of old wood with the vintage style and a burnt look, all of which give the tiles a very special charm. If the room to be renovated or designed has white or other very light walls, these tiles can be used wonderfully.
Shabby style collection by Sil Ceramiche
This porcelain tile design imitates worn wood and can be used for floors and walls. Look how perfect the design looks in combination with a stone wall! Here's how to add some Mediterranean flair to a modern interior.
Don't just design the floor. The stairs can also be wonderfully covered with them. They are again a great alternative to real wood as the tiles do not wear out over time. All that remains is the intentionally added worn look. The tiles from Sil Ceramiche are perfect for this too.
Just like reclaimed wood, the weathered look is also very popular for designing rooms and outdoor areas with wood. However, you can again use tiles for this purpose. The design by Ariostea from the Legni High Tech collection is particularly suitable.
Especially outdoors, the maintenance and care of wood is quite difficult and, above all, time-consuming due to the weather conditions. That is not the case with tiles. For this reason they are the perfect replacement for wood. And if you choose a porcelain tile design that looks as realistic as the one from Ariostea, you get everything you dream of.
