Wall tile Nikea Stone Mat 10x10 cm - Portuguese-Mediterranean in your interior
The Nikea Stone Matte Wall Tile 10x10 cm brings the rich decorative tradition of Portuguese azulejos and Mediterranean patterned tiles to your interior. These compact tiles combine vintage elegance with contemporary practicality thanks to their striking mix of dark blue, light blue, white, and gold tones. Each pattern tells its own story, from lush floral motifs to geometric precision—together they create a visual feast that transforms your wall from backdrop to centerpiece.
The smaller 10x10 cm size offers unparalleled design freedom. While the larger 20x20 cm version is ideal for larger surfaces, these mini tiles allow you to place more precise accents, create creative frames, or add subtle details even in the smallest spaces. The matte finish creates a soft, timeless look that doesn't dazzle or dominate, but instead adds warmth and depth to your interior.

Tips for the best results
- Experiment with different laying patterns in advance by arranging the tiles loosely on the floor
- Combine multiple boxes for the most natural distribution of patterns
- Choose a grout color that matches the background color (white) for a more subdued look, or dark blue for a more dramatic effect
- Consider a light blue or gold accent grout for a truly unique result
- Use these tiles together with the 20x20 cm variant for a dynamic effect (smaller tiles for details, larger ones for main areas)
- Let some tiles 'pop out' from a niche or recess to create dimension
- Ensure good lighting – spotlights or wall lamps will beautifully accentuate the details of the patterns

Frequently asked questions about Nikea Stone Mat 10x10 wall tiles
How many tiles do I need for a square meter?
For these 10x10 cm tiles, you'll need 100 to cover one square meter (10 tiles wide x 10 tiles high). Always allow approximately 10% extra for cutting waste and future replacements.
Can I combine these tiles with the Nikea Stone 20x20 cm variant?
Absolutely! Combining both sizes can create beautiful results. For example, use the 20x20 cm tiles for the main part of a wall and the 10x10 cm as a decorative border, or create a playful mosaic effect by mixing both sizes.
Are these tiles suitable for the shower area?
Yes, these wall tiles are perfectly suitable for showers when installed correctly with waterproof grout. For wet floors, we do recommend other tiles with non-slip properties.
Which grout color suits these tiles best?
The choice of grout color significantly influences the final result. White grout creates a more subdued effect, focusing on the overall look. A dark blue grout, on the other hand, accentuates each individual tile and reinforces the Mediterranean character. For a truly unique result, consider using a light blue or even gold-colored specialty grout.
