California Pearl Mockup

When I was redoing my living room, I wanted something that felt elegant, modern and easy to maintain. After countless samples and design boards, I landed on California Pearl glossy porcelain tiles—and honestly, it was the best decision I made.

The first thing you will observe  is how stunning they are. With their light pearl-grey base and deep shiny veins in soft orange and brown tones, these tiles immediately elevate the room. They bring in the luxurious look of natural marble, but with a warmer, more contemporary twist. I used the 600 x 1200 mm (24 x 48 inch) format tiles on both the floor and feature wall and the result? A seamless, designer aesthetic that feels straight out of a magazine.

What really sold me though wasn’t just the look—it was how practical they are. These tiles are scratch free and completely water resistant. No matter how much foot traffic, spills, or moving furniture happens, they stay looking brand new. As someone who hosts often and has a pet, that durability is priceless. These are truly long lasting tiles you don’t have to take stress.

Plus, the glossy finish does wonders for the space. It picks up every bit of daylight, bouncing it across the room and making everything feel brighter and more open. And when the lights come on in the evening, the tiles reflect them beautifully like the floor is glowing.

If you’re looking for living room tiles that double as decorative wall tiles, California Pearl is your answer. They’re not just tiles—they’re a style statement that works hard behind the scenes.
