Creating a place that makes the right impression on current and potential clients or customers is one of the most important considerations when developing a successful commercial design. And choosing the best commercial tile flooring for lobbies, entryways, and other client-facing areas in your space is a key factor in creating a welcoming and stylish environment.

Commercial tile is an excellent option for flooring in high-traffic spaces as it offers a low-maintenance, durable option that will last a lifetime. However, it also provides the ability to create one-of-a-kind spaces that will stand out and create a lasting impression.

There are numerous options of tile flooring that are perfect for welcoming visitors to office buildings, hotels, retail shops, restaurants, and other businesses. Whether you’re designing for a small office, retail space, luxury resort, or another type of commercial space, the key to designing a successful space is to create the right blend of aesthetics and functionality. Below are a few top design ideas for commercial tile flooring that will help you do just that!

Eye-Catching Lobbies and Common Areas

Clients get their first impression of your company and the way you do business from the moment they step foot into your lobby. Transforming your business’ entryway, lobby, or common area into a space that is sure to leave a positive impression should be a top priority. And designing these spaces with tile is a simple way to create an eye-catching look while providing the durability that’s necessary.

A creative tile design can help create memorable lobbies and other customer-facing areas like entryways and sitting areas. When it comes to durability and aesthetics in flooring, the series (pictured above) is a great choice for these spaces. With its flecked, consistent pattern it provides a mid-century look that is a good fit for many commercial environments. Available in five, neutral colors it can be used anywhere and the colors can be used together in a pattern or randomly to add a custom look to any space, from showrooms to entryways to high-end office spaces and luxurious hotel lobbies.

Overall, porcelain tile is best suited for large, high-traffic areas where you want a chic, upscale look while also ensuring your flooring is durable and will hold up to the wear and tear of being in a busy area.  Another option you can’t go wrong with in these types of spaces is large-format porcelain tile, such as Ardesia.

Commercial Shower Tile

Restroom design in any commercial space plays a big part in how your customers perceive your business. Of course, customers will get a negative impression from establishments with dirty bathrooms or ones that are really outdated. But a clean, modern, and even luxurious bathroom will enhance their experience and improve their overall perception of your business.

This is why it has become increasingly important for restaurants, hotels, and other commercial spaces to have well-designed bathrooms. When it comes to these spaces, aesthetics are just as important as functionality!

As far as tile options for commercial bathrooms, wood-look tile is becoming more and more in demand. This type of tile, such as our More Wood (pictured above) combines the warmth and charm of natural wood with high performance and low maintenance – a combination that’s ideal for a modern commercial bathroom floor. Wood-look tile delivers the nature-inspired and timeless look of hardwood to a commercial bathroom but has a higher resistance to scratches and keeps a newer appearance over time, requiring less maintenance.

A fabulous option for shower walls in commercial bathrooms is ceramic tile. Ceramic is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Our Flash ceramic tile (pictured above) is available in a variety of lovely colors, making it easy to find a style that suits your design preference and bathroom décor scheme.

Commercial Restaurant Flooring

Porcelain tile is an excellent flooring option that complements both modern and traditional restaurant designs that benefit from a more comfortable, warm appearance. It also requires minimum upkeep, which is always a bonus!

Porcelain not only looks impressive but is a sturdy material for low to high-traffic dining area floors. As an added bonus, you’ll reduce the risk of scratches from metal chairs sliding against your floors!

Our CityLife tile (pictured above), Cemento Cassero tile, and Anthea tile designs are available in gorgeous neutral colors, making it easy to find the perfect complement for an array of restaurant designs. For porcelain tile with some neutral and color options, check out Vetri, one of our most popular porcelain tile series that conveys a bold, modern look.
