Square tiles: stylish interiors with the various sizes
Lots of options, one aim: interior decoration with fresh ideas and decorations.
The countless personalities of square tiles. From the 20x20, 60x60, 80x80 and 120x120 sizes to the coloured, decorated or white variants, these surfaces are amongst the most popular for adding personality to interiors.

Renewed over time and with fresh looks, square tiles have always been part of interior design offerings as extremely strategic architectural tools, in line with the most classical styles or marking a clear break with the past.
With skilful use of textures, materials and colours, square tiles can create ornamental patterns and decorative features with great aesthetic and functional impact, which emphasise interiors’ geometrical forms or add tactile elements and distinctive highlights. Let’s see how.
20x20 tiles for a sparkling, Mediterranean touch
Without a doubt, one of square tiles’ most attractive potentials is their ability to create extremely adaptable decorations and combinations.
This also applies to 20x20 tiles. It’s a reassuring, long-established size suitable, in spite of its very compact size, for a variety of interior design needs.
For example, the Terra.Art collection is able to reinterpret tradition with joie de vivre, forming sparkling combinations and installation layouts with a Mediterranean flavour, also suitable for bathrooms.
In the 20x20 square tile version, this collection offers a range of elegant neutral sand and white colours, cool blue, sky blue and mint shades and warm, inviting cream and sunset red.
This assortment of shades can be used in various ways, from vibrant blocks of colour to two-colour contrasts and graduated tone-on-tone compositions.

There’s no limit to the imagination with these ”cementine” tiles, which offer not only the plain terracotta effect but also decorsin the same style, with 6 different patterns and 3 colour variants.
Elegant and unique in style, Terra.Art reinvents contemporary residential and commercial interiors with irresistible vintage-chic moods.

Another suggestion for innovative, exciting interior design with 20x20 tiles is to experiment with textures, aided by the solutions with relief motifs.
With this approach, the Terracreta collection enables the creation of decorative patterns using square tiles with a strongly contemporary appeal, where the synergic use of traditional craft techniques such as scoring, decoration and embedding generates unique, surprising surfaces: a homage to the past with the unrivalled performance of porcelain stoneware.
Terracreta enables the composition of a vast variety of patterns, enabling completely individual design schemes thanks to the timeless, organic appeal of the inspiration material, clay.
Therefore, 20x20 Terracreta tiles - in the version with matt surface or in the Argilla, Chamotte and Lacca relief variants - have intentionally uneven textures that produce tactile sensations, for decorative use on walls to complement their use on floors and give an interior a handmade character that enhances its unique identity.

Decorating with effects using 60x60, 80x80 and 120x120 square tiles
One trend that’s maintaining and building on its popularity is the use in interior design of a variety of ceramic effects, such as marble, stone and concrete.
Each of these effects is available in square tiles in the 60x60, 80x80 and 120x120 sizes, for use on both walls and floors.
And this is where these tiles’ ductility and versatility can be seen to best effect, with vast potential for internal and external design, for creating or renovating spaces with complete personalisation.
60x60 tiles
60x60 tiles are well known for both their convenience and practicality and their aesthetic versatility. Here are just a few examples, in the various looks:
One of the latest new stone-effect collections, Arkigeo is inspired by sedimentary rocks, which it portrays with precise, authentic natural details. The Rupe, Arena, Luce, Libra, Cenere and Carbone variants are all available in the 60x60 tile size.

Here the stone inspiration receives a fascinating reinterpretation, based on a Limestone with barely hinted inclusions of marine fossils that blend into the background material. In the 60x60 size for the earth, sand and taupe shades.
A “split” natural stone effect that recalls Mediterranean quartzite, with the ideal blend of elegance and technical performance. From Arctic grey to Graphite, a large array of floor and wall covering options in the 60x60 tile size.

The concrete-effect total look with all it takes to provide original designs every time, with materials that offer infinite decorative solutions, such as in the Acquario and Lichene surfaces, also available in the 60x60 square size.


80x80 tiles
With their contemporary aesthetic, variety and easy integration in architectural projects of different kinds, 80x80 tiles are a very popular and widely used choice.
Here again, the various effects can be deployed to great advantage.
For example, thanks to the new creative applications of the marble effect the Matt, Velvet and Reflex finishes add depth and visual sophistication to interiors.
These options are available in the Scultorea collection, which also offers the 80x80 square tile size in the gleaming, richly veined variants inspired by Calacatta and Statuario marbles. The collection also includes surfaces with a darker background colour, such as Foam Grey, River Grey and Dark Diamond.
The 80x80 square tile is also highly suitable for projects requiring unbroken continuity between indoors and outdoors, with Multiforme Dune a fine example.
A stylistic evolution under the banner of eclecticism, this collection responds to the most diverse tastes, reaching beyond the trends of the moment for the concrete and resin effect.
Therefore, it offers new, warm shades and subtle highlights, ideal for combining together or for matching with other collections in the range.
To enable this, as well as combining very attractively with Multiforme Dune’s Lichene and Acquario colours, Multiforme features the Exa surface in 80x80 size, to provide provocative geometrical patterns in shades of grey even outdoors.

120x120 tiles
Their size is one of 120x120 tiles’ greatest strengths. In fact, they allow the creation of uniform compositions with only minimal joints, to give interiors an immersive, inviting appeal.
This characteristic also provides a very refined, gleaming aesthetic particularly suitable for large and luxury locations.
The various ceramic effects can be used both indoors and outdoors.
For indoors, the Scultorea collection permits infinite combinations to satisfy the most ambitious and sophisticated requirements, with its surfaces with white or dark backgrounds and extremely realistic vein patterns, which also have tactile allure.


The stone effect also offers 120x120 square tiles with an exclusive identity.
For example, the harmonious shades of Arkigeo range from Arena to Carbone, offering an intense, variegated visual experience, including in indoor&outdoor design schemes and in adjoining areas.
Staying on the topic of outdoor and indoor paving and wall tiles, Arkistyle provides the perfect indoor and outdoor combination with its 120x120 tiles inspired by Venetian Terrazzo, with guaranteed visual impact and easy to combine also with more neutral materials.
Last but not least, for the concrete and resin effect we return to the Multiforme and Multiforme Dune offerings, the latter also in the distinctive Marsala colour, which gives spaces centrality and vibrancy thanks to its exciting tactile character.


Styles, sizes, colours: the importance of Mix&Match
After this overview of the various 20x20, 60x60, 80x80 and 120x120 square tiles, the next question is: how do you combine them?
For example, a Mix&Match approach, based on hybridisation and combinations, offers infinite creative possibilities, which may tend towards an equally large number of styles: from contemporary maximalism to well regulated minimalism and much, much more.
