Go 1970s Retro with Brown Wall Tiles

You might be surprised to know that you can create some beautiful interior designs with brown wall tiles. 

Go 1970s Retro with Brown Wall Tiles
When most of us consider wall tiles for our kitchens or bathrooms, we rarely contemplate using colours like brown due to the popularity of others such as black, white and beige that can often be seen in homes today. Using unusual colours will not only give you a unique style but could help you to create classic retro looks with a modern day twist.

1970s style has rocketed back into fashion recently in every area from interior design to high street clothing, with many designers recreating looks from the past with clean, modern twists. This new era of throwback design has given many designers and interior design lovers alike a chance to move away from the less appealing, dated elements of the decade and replace them with a more accessible modern twist.

A great way to use brown wall tiles in a simple but stylish way is to recreate the classic 1970s kitchen or bathroom. The essence of 1970s style was bright and busy, with most people opting for wild patterns and eye-catching colours such as rich reds, browns and yellows. Very different from the kitchens and bathrooms of today, the rooms of the 1970s homeowner were filled to the rafters with experimental designs.

However, thanks to the return of the retro style, even those who love minimalism can enjoy the dazzling colours of this forgotten decade. Simply combine cool whites with red, yellow or brown wall tiles to achieve a ‘splash’ of retro style and character in your kitchen or bathroom, whilst still achieving a clean and sleek finish. Choosing brown wall tiles with a high gloss finish will help add to the retro-modernist design and will also leave you with the added bonus of an easy clean wall.

If you’re looking to create a room with more of a wow factor, don’t be afraid to go bigger and bolder with your wall tiles. Rather than dotting or bordering walls with colour, try using brown wall tiles over larger sections of your kitchen and bathroom. It will leave you with a striking look and best of all it will get your friends and family talking.


With so many different shapes and sizes to choose from, it’s so easy to recreate this retro look with modern wall tiles and whether you love sleek modern interiors or are searching for a truly authentic 1970s look, brown wall tiles can help you to achieve it.

Gloss Tiles
