Hexagon Tiles for Wollongong & Illawarra Bathrooms
The hexagon is the shape that makes a bathroom look considered. Laid across a floor it reads as a seamless honeycomb; used on a wall, a niche or a splashback it brings a rhythm a square tile simply can’t. At Just Bathrooms in Unanderra we stock genuine hexagon and honeycomb ranges from Stoneworld, Olympic Tiles and Ace Ceramics — in colour-body porcelain, marble-look mosaics and honed natural stone — so Illawarra renovators can get a geometric-but-timeless look in the right material for the job. This is one corner of our full Tiles range; below are the real hexagons we can put in front of you, honestly compared by scale, finish and where each one earns its place.
Hexagons — Scale, Marble vs Porcelain, and Where They Shine
Choosing a hexagon comes down to three questions: how big, what material, and which surface. Scale sets the mood — a small classic hex (20–30mm) feels heritage and busy in a good way, an elongated “stretched” hexagon reads contemporary, and a large honed-stone hex makes a calm, architectural statement with fewer grout lines. Material decides the upkeep: glazed porcelain is dense, hard-wearing and near-maintenance-free, ideal underfoot, while marble-look and genuine honed-stone hexagons bring real depth and veining but want sealing to stay pristine. Surface is about honesty — matt and honed finishes lift grip for floors, gloss lifts light on a splashback or feature wall. Small hex mosaics wrap a shower niche or curve because they’re sheet-mounted; that same trick suits a bold mosaic feature, while a tougher hex is better as a floor tile. For the wider picture, see our guide to the types of bathroom tiles explained and where hexagons sit in the 2026 tiling trends.
Stoneworld Paradigm — Colour-Body Porcelain Hexagon
Paradigm is Stoneworld’s colour-body glazed porcelain range with a soft, contemporary concrete look — and it’s offered in a genuine Hexagon - Matt face, shown here in the deep Graphite colourway. Because the colour runs through the body of the tile rather than sitting only on the glaze, chips and everyday scratches are far less noticeable once it’s laid — a real advantage for a hard-working hexagon floor. The range spans five colours (Graphite, Grey, Light Grey, Tortora and White), so the hex can read moody and graphic or soft and pale to suit the room. The matt surface gives usable grip underfoot in an Illawarra wet area, and Paradigm’s cushioned or rectified edge options let you dial the grout line from characterful to near-seamless. It’s the pick when you want honeycomb geometry with the toughness and low upkeep of porcelain.
Olympic Tiles Stretched Hexagon — Marble-Look Mosaic
Olympic Tiles’ Stretched Hexagon is a glazed porcelain mosaic with an elongated honeycomb that leans distinctly more contemporary than a regular six-sided hex. It comes as manageable sheets of 27.2 × 29.8cm made up of slim 4.8 × 14.8cm individual hexagons, sheet-mounted so a tiler can wrap a splashback, niche or feature wall cleanly. The palette runs Grey, Beige and White, plus a standout Calacatta Gold marble-look — shown here as a styled splashback — available in a matt or polished finish. Because it carries the veining of marble on a porcelain body, you get the luxe look without the sealing and porosity worries of the real stone. It’s our go-to hexagon for a kitchen or vanity splashback where you want soft movement and a modern, elongated geometry rather than a heritage hex.
Ace Ceramics Penny & Hex — Classic Small Hexagon
For the timeless, heritage hexagon, Ace Ceramics’ Penny & Hex series delivers a small classic hex in a crisp gloss finish. The range pairs a Hexagon White Gloss (25 × 25mm, shown here) with a Hexagon Black Gloss (23 × 26mm) and a matching black Penny Round (19 × 19mm), so you can build a monochrome scheme across floor and wall. At this tight scale the tiles are mosaic-sheeted, which is exactly what lets them curve into a shower niche or hug a hob without awkward cuts. The gloss glaze bounces light around, making it a favourite for compact Wollongong powder rooms and ensuites that need brightening. Lay the white for an airy, period-inspired floor, or the black for a graphic, high-contrast feature — both are hard-wearing glazed ceramic built for daily bathroom use.
Ace Ceramics Decorative Stone — Honed Natural-Stone Hexagon
When only genuine stone will do, Ace Ceramics’ Decorative Stone range offers a honeycomb hexagon in honed natural stone — shown here as the Milton Grey Hexagon Honed sheet at 272 × 282mm, with a Pietra Grey Hexagon Honed companion for a darker, moodier grey. The honed surface is smooth and matt rather than shiny, giving the tile a soft, architectural calm and a natural grip underfoot. The same collection extends the geometry into chevron, polygon, penny and square honed formats plus a fine 75 × 75mm basalt honed mosaic, so a hexagon feature can be echoed elsewhere in the room. Being real stone, it carries authentic tonal variation and veining no printed tile can copy — and, like all natural stone, it wants sealing to stay pristine; our guide to the types of bathroom tiles explained covers how the materials differ. It’s the luxe, tactile choice for a feature wall or a standout floor inlay.
Ace Ceramics Deco — Bold Matt Honeycomb Feature
Ace Ceramics’ Deco series is built for the graphic, high-impact honeycomb — its New Deco Hexagon comes as generous 295 × 256mm mosaic sheets in both a Black Matt (shown here) and a White Matt face, plus Black Gloss and White Gloss options for those who want the honeycomb to catch the light. The larger sheet format means fewer joints than a tiny classic hex, so the hexagonal pattern reads clearly and installs faster across a feature wall or powder-room floor. The matt black in particular makes a confident, contemporary statement — a full wall of it behind a vanity, or a defined honeycomb zone in a shower, anchors a whole scheme. The series also includes a Super White polished 600 × 600 field tile, so you can pair the bold hex feature with a clean, calm background from the same range.

A hexagon is one of those tiles that has to be seen at scale — a swatch never quite tells you how a honeycomb will read across your floor or up a feature wall. Bring your room dimensions and the rest of your scheme into our Unanderra showroom and we’ll lay out the real sheets, from Paradigm’s colour-body porcelain to genuine honed-stone hexagons, and match finish and grip to the job. While you’re planning, browse the related mosaics for more sheet-mounted feature ideas and our floor tiles for slip-rated options underfoot, or step back to the full Tiles range.
