Green and White Arabesque Marble Mosaic Tile$10.58 USD
Lantern Tiles, also known as Arabesque Tiles, are decorative shaped tiles inspired by classic Middle Eastern and Moroccan patterns. Their curved silhouette, flowing lines, and interlocking layout create a graceful sense of movement that traditional square or subway tiles cannot achieve.
At Woos Tiles, our lantern tile collection is available in marble, glass, metal, and custom mosaic designs. Whether you are creating a kitchen backsplash, bathroom feature wall, shower wall, entryway floor, fireplace surround, or commercial accent wall, lantern tiles add an artistic focal point while keeping the surface refined, durable, and timeless.
Lantern tiles are shaped decorative tiles with a curved arabesque outline. The design resembles a traditional lantern or Moroccan arch, creating a repeating pattern that feels soft, elegant, and architectural.
Unlike standard rectangular tiles, lantern tiles bring visual rhythm to a space. The pattern can look classic, luxurious, exotic, modern, or handmade depending on the material, color, finish, and grout choice. This makes lantern tiles a versatile choice for both residential and commercial interiors.
Lantern tiles are popular because they combine decorative beauty with practical surface performance.
Their curved arabesque pattern softens straight architectural lines and adds movement to kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, entryways, hotels, restaurants, and boutique commercial spaces.
Key benefits include:
• Distinctive arabesque shape with strong decorative value
• Suitable for classic, Moroccan, Mediterranean, modern, farmhouse, and luxury interiors
• Available in marble, glass, metal, ceramic, porcelain, and custom mosaic materials

A lantern tile kitchen backsplash creates a refined focal point behind the stove, sink, or countertop. White, cream, marble, and glass lantern tiles are especially popular for kitchens because they brighten the wall and add soft decorative movement.
Design ideas:
• White arabesque tile with matching white grout for a clean look
• Marble lantern tile with light gray grout for subtle pattern definition
• Glossy glass lantern tile for a brighter modern kitchen
• Metal lantern tile as a luxury backsplash accent
• Dark grout with white tile for a bold vintage pattern
Lantern tiles are perfect for bathroom walls because their curved pattern adds softness to hard surfaces. They can be used behind a vanity, around a bathtub, inside a shower, or across a full bathroom feature wall.
Recommended materials:
• Glass for moisture resistance and shine
• Marble for luxury and natural veining
• Porcelain for durability and easier maintenance
• Iridescent glass for spa-style bathrooms
Lantern tiles can create a beautiful shower wall when the correct material and installation system are used. Glass, porcelain, and suitable natural stone are common choices.
For shower areas, we recommend:
• Waterproof substrate preparation
• Proper thin-set adhesive
• Sealed grout or epoxy grout
• Sealing natural stone before and after installation
• Avoiding unsuitable metal tiles in high-moisture zones unless approved
Large-format or properly rated mosaic lantern tiles can be used on floors to create a dramatic and elegant look. They are suitable for powder rooms, entryways, boutique shops, hotel corridors, and decorative residential floors.
For floor use, choose materials with appropriate durability and slip resistance. Honed marble, tumbled stone, matte porcelain, and selected mosaic formats are generally more floor-friendly than glossy glass or delicate metal surfaces.
Lantern tiles work beautifully around fireplaces because the arabesque pattern gives the fireplace a decorative architectural frame. Marble, ceramic, porcelain, and metal finishes can all create different styles, from classic European to modern luxury.
For living rooms, lounges, hotel lobbies, restaurants, and retail spaces, lantern tiles can be used as a feature wall to add texture, shape, and visual identity. Metal lantern tiles are especially effective for commercial interiors, while marble and glass offer a softer luxury look.
White lantern tiles are timeless and versatile. They work well in kitchens, bathrooms, showers, and laundry rooms. Use white grout for a seamless look or gray grout to highlight the arabesque shape.
Black lantern tiles create a bold and dramatic surface. They are ideal for powder rooms, bar walls, fireplace surrounds, and modern feature walls.
Green lantern tiles bring a natural and artistic mood. Marble green lantern tiles feel luxurious and organic, while green glass lantern tiles feel fresh and decorative.
Blue lantern tiles are ideal for coastal, Mediterranean, Moroccan, and spa-style interiors. They pair well with white cabinets, brass fixtures, and natural wood.
Gold, silver, copper, and rose gold lantern tiles create a high-end decorative surface. They are best used as accent walls, backsplash highlights, bar walls, and commercial design features.

Lantern tiles require more careful layout than simple square tiles because of their curved shape. A professional installer is recommended, especially for walls with outlets, corners, niches, or multiple cut edges.
Recommended installation steps:
• Inspect all tiles before installation
• Dry lay the pattern first to confirm direction and alignment
• Find the centerline before starting the first row
• Use a level or laser line to keep the curved pattern straight
• Use the correct adhesive for the material
• Use spacers where needed to maintain consistent grout joints
• Cut carefully around outlets, corners, cabinets, and edges
• Use matching trim or edging for exposed tile edges
• Allow the adhesive to cure fully before grouting
• Seal natural stone before and after grouting
Professional note:
Arabesque and lantern shapes can shift visually if the first rows are not aligned correctly. Accurate layout is very important for a clean finished result.
Lantern tiles are easy to maintain when the right material and grout are selected.
General care:
• Clean regularly with a soft cloth or mop
• Use pH-neutral cleaner for marble and natural stone
• Avoid acidic cleaners on marble, limestone, travertine, or metal
• Wipe glass tiles with a non-abrasive cleaner
• Avoid steel wool or harsh abrasive pads
• Seal natural stone as recommended
• Keep grout clean and reseal if required
Material-specific care:
• Marble: use stone-safe cleaner and seal regularly
• Glass: wipe with mild cleaner for a glossy finish
• Metal: avoid acidic chemicals and abrasive cleaning tools
• Porcelain: easy to clean and low maintenance
• Ceramic: suitable for regular wall cleaning

Yes. Lantern tiles are commonly called arabesque tiles because their shape is inspired by traditional Arabesque and Moroccan decorative patterns. The terms are often used for the same curved decorative tile shape.
Some lantern tiles can be used on floors, but not every material is suitable. Porcelain, honed marble, tumbled stone, and floor-rated mosaics are better choices for flooring. Glossy glass and some metal tiles are usually better for walls.
Yes. Lantern tiles are one of the most popular choices for kitchen backsplashes because the curved pattern adds movement and elegance without overwhelming the kitchen design.
Yes, if the material is suitable for wet areas and the installation is done correctly. Glass, porcelain, and properly sealed marble can work well for shower walls. Always use waterproof preparation and suitable grout.
White grout creates a clean and seamless look. Light gray grout gently highlights the arabesque pattern. Dark grout creates stronger contrast and makes the lantern shape more visible.
Marble requires more care than porcelain or glass. Use pH-neutral cleaners and seal the stone regularly. Avoid acidic cleaners because they can damage natural stone surfaces.
Glass itself is non-porous and moisture-resistant, making it a good choice for kitchen and bathroom walls. The full installation still depends on proper adhesive, substrate, grout, and waterproofing.
Not necessarily. White, cream, light gray, glass, or tone-on-tone grout can make lantern tiles feel soft and elegant. For small rooms, avoid too much color contrast unless you want a bold decorative effect.
