Red Tiles & Mosaics: Terracotta to Bordeaux
Red tiles bring warmth, energy and character to every room. At Die Fliesen Galerie you'll find a large selection of red wall and floor tiles delivered across Switzerland – from sunny terracotta to bold brick red and elegant Bordeaux. As a quiet colour accent or a bold statement: red tiles instantly add depth, warmth and personality to kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces or commercial areas. As red mosaic tiles in glass or as sturdy red porcelain stoneware tiles, they're also a popular choice for accent surfaces, floors and shower niches.
Shades of Red at a Glance
Terracotta
Terracotta tiles evoke fired clay, sunshine and Mediterranean architecture. The warm, earthy tone feels cosy yet timeless. Terracotta pairs beautifully with white, light natural stone and open wood shelving, making it ideal for kitchens and country-style interiors.
Brick Red
Brick red is bolder and more grounded than terracotta. Paired with black, anthracite or raw concrete, it creates a modern, urban loft look – especially striking on floors and as flooring in open-plan kitchen-living spaces.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux tiles stand for elegance and depth. The rich red tone with a hint of violet feels refined and luxurious, especially when combined with brass, gold or dark natural stone – perfect for bathrooms and representative reception areas.
Crimson
Crimson is the most intense, most vibrant of the red shades. As an accent wall or mosaic surface, it makes a bold statement and pairs well with neutral white or grey as a calming counterpart.
Rust Red
Rust red blends red and brown tones into an earthy, natural colour palette. It pairs beautifully with wood, leather and natural stone, making it ideal for warm, inviting interiors.
Red Tiles by Room
In the kitchen, red tiles make a bold, appetite-stirring statement as a backsplash or floor covering – terracotta and brick red feel especially warm here. In the dining room, red wall surfaces create a sociable, inviting atmosphere for shared meals. In the bathroom, Bordeaux paired with marble or brass lends a luxurious, spa-like touch, while red mosaic tiles add fine accents as a shower niche or border. As an accent wall in the living room or bedroom, a single red tiled surface adds depth and character without overwhelming the space. And in commercial settings – in restaurants and boutique hotels – red tiles create a memorable, warm ambience that guests won't forget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do red tiles work in small rooms?
Yes, in small rooms we recommend using red deliberately as an accent – for example as a border, niche or single wall surface. This creates depth without making the room feel smaller. Used across large surfaces, red works best in well-lit or generously sized rooms.
What goes best with terracotta?
Terracotta pairs especially well with white, light natural stone, rattan and open wood elements. This combination highlights its warm, Mediterranean feel while still looking modern and understated.
Are red tiles a current trend?
Yes, warm earth tones like terracotta, brick red and Bordeaux are among the most sought-after tile colours in 2026. They're replacing the pure neutral-tone wave with a deliberate return to character and warmth in interior design.
Are red tiles suitable for floors?
Yes, porcelain stoneware in red tones in particular is durable and low-maintenance enough for heavily used floors in kitchens, hallways or commercial spaces, and keeps its colour intensity for many years.
