These are illustrative concept designs created to show style options. They are not completed ClickBina projects; your floor or wall is measured and quoted on its own size, substrate and tile grade.

How to choose a tile design

Start with where the tile goes, then pick the look. A bathroom floor, a balcony and a living room need different tiles even if they share a colour, because water and grip matter more than pattern.

• Living rooms and bedrooms: large-format marble-look, lappato or cement-look tiles keep the floor calm; wood-look planks warm up a bedroom without the upkeep of timber.
• Kitchens: a hard-wearing floor (porcelain or homogeneous) and an easy-clean wall such as subway tiles; matt or textured tiles in the wet kitchen.
• Bathrooms: a low-absorption, anti-slip floor such as porcelain or small mosaic, with the feature on the wall: stacked zellige-look tiles or large slabs.
• Balconies and porches: textured outdoor porcelain with a higher slip rating.

Big tiles and plain colours make a small condo feel larger. Patterns such as chevron, Peranakan or small mosaic work best on one zone, like a foyer or a bathroom floor, with a calmer tile around them.

Practical limits to check before you commit

• Grip. A polished tile that feels fine when dry can be treacherous when wet. Use an anti-slip rating suited to wet floors; see how R ratings work.
• Water absorption. For bathrooms, wet kitchens and outdoor areas choose a low-absorption tile such as porcelain or homogeneous; ordinary ceramic belongs on walls and dry floors.
• Substrate. Large-format tiles need a flat, well-prepared floor, and an uneven slab shows through.
• Old tiles. Hacking out the old floor is priced as its own line; if the old floor is flat and sound, tiling over it without hacking may be possible.
• Approval. Re-tiling like for like is usually exempt from council approval, but most condos need a renovation application to management, a deposit and set working hours; check the renovation permit guide.

What these tile designs cost

ClickBina's floor tile replacement cost guide gives supply-and-lay rates by tile grade (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026): ceramic RM10 – RM18 per sq ft, homogeneous RM15 – RM30 per sq ft, porcelain RM18 – RM35 per sq ft, mosaic RM20 – RM45 per sq ft, and marble or granite RM30 – RM80+ per sq ft. The tiles comparison guide adds about RM2 – RM5 per sq ft of labour for large-format tiles, because they are harder to handle and cut.

Hacking out the old tiles, levelling, waterproofing and patterned layouts are separate lines on a proper quote. Patterned tiles such as Peranakan designs vary too much by product to put one band on them. To estimate the quantity, use the flooring and tiling calculator.
