Oversized Japanese style tiles make a statement through their expansive size. Featuring a sophisticated neutral color palette that includes shades of white, beige, and black, these japanese porcelain tiles are understated in color and style, but their design is modern. Often featuring a fluted texture, they create dimensions that don't visually overwhelm the space.

Suitable for busy areas in your home, from entryways to kitchens, and even showers, this japanese floor tile is as reliable as it is beautiful. Our Pearl White 24 x 48 Matte Porcelain Large Tile is one of the many options that combines form and function.

Soft Green Japanese Tiles for Utility Rooms

Green is incredibly popular in biophilic design and styles that find their inspiration in nature, so it comes as no surprise that this tile collection features shades of soft green, sage, mint, and forest green.

Japanese Tile Installation & Maintenance

  • Exact measurements: Just like in any tile installation, japanese tiles require exact measurements, so take your time and figure out your surface area, and how much tile you need.
  • Precise fit: With such a simple tile style, shape, fit, and proportion becomes important, because every detail counts. If you’re installing tilework yourself, make sure to measure several times, cut accurately, and use your tile spacers to ensure a precise fit.
  • Suitable grout: One of the special characteristics of japanese tile is the soft, muted color palette. With light shades, choosing the right shade of grout color is critical. While black or white are classic choices, you can explore different grout shades to make your tiles either blend in or stand out.
