Melbourne's Tile Shop for Premium Floor & Wall Tiles

Family-owned since 1977, Erneste Tile Concepts is the tile shop Melbourne homeowners, builders, and designers turn to for a curated range of porcelain, ceramic, and stone tiles you won’t find at big-box retailers.

Designer Tiles for Every Space

We provide specialised collections tailored to the unique requirements of every room, from bathrooms and kitchens to outdoor alfresco areas and commercial fit-outs. Explore terrazzo, marble-look, timber-look, and mosaic ranges, or browse by application to find tiles matched to your project.

Two Generations of Tile Experts

What started as one Italian migrant’s passion for tile craftsmanship in 1977 is now a family business run by the next generation. As a family-owned tile store in Melbourne, we still hand-select every range ourselves – porcelain, ceramic, stone, and mosaic tiles sourced from across the globe. It’s why our tiles Melbourne renovators keep coming back to are different from what you’ll find at the big chains: fewer, better-chosen options instead of an overwhelming wall of look-alikes.
