A big component of any home renovation is jazzing up our walls and floors. While there are several different kinds of flooring options you can choose from such as vinyl, cement screed and hardwood, tiles come highly recommended for their versatility, stain resistance and easy maintenance.
Whether you’re in the market for ceramic and porcelain or mosaics and natural stone, we’ve compiled a list of the eight best tile suppliers and shops in Singapore to hit up if you’re about to embark on your reno journey.
1. Lian Seng Hin – Industry veteran with holiday-themed tiles

We may now be chionging towards airline websites to book our VTL flights for a short getaway, but one thing we have learnt from the Big C is that we can bring the holidays back home. Good news is that Lian Seng Hin can help us with that, an industry veteran that gets creative with holiday-themed tiles that form looks like this Bali-themed home.

That said, they also experiment with unique designs, like these mix and match tiles that put a spin on the typical vintage printed designs.
Moreover, Lian Seng Hin has a Talos Living Tiles collection, which consists of tiles that produce negative ions that can help improve indoor air quality at home. They also have GuardTec Antimicrobial Tiles that kill bacteria and microorganisms on the tiles, which is especially useful if you have little toddlers under your wing.

It is an understatement to say that vintage-inspired patterned tiles are a classic, as many of us have no doubt grown a soft spot for it.

Enter Hafary, a building material supplier which boasts the largest selections of tiles thus far, with diverse styles such as their Stripes Wall tile collection. It consists of fluted wall panels that’ll give your counters and walls a sophisticated and modern look.
