How Personalised Patterns & Printed Tiles Are Changing Malaysian Interiors
In Malaysia’s evolving interior design scene, homeowners and designers alike are seeking ways to express individuality beyond standard finishes and colours. While traditional tiles remain timeless, the growing trend of custom printed tiles and bespoke designs is transforming how spaces reflect personality and brand identity.
Whether it’s a feature wall inspired by Batik motifs, a restaurant floor with brand-integrated patterns, or a minimalist bathroom showcasing marble-effect tiles — customisation has become the new measure of sophistication.
As one of Malaysia’s leading tile innovators, Kimgres continues to push boundaries through cutting-edge tile design technology, enabling architects, homeowners, and developers to create one-of-a-kind surfaces that perfectly match their vision.
Why Customisation Is the Future of Malaysian Interiors
1. Rising Demand for Personal Expression
Modern Malaysians are moving away from uniform, catalogue-style interiors. Instead, they prefer designs that tell a story — whether that means minimalist concrete tones, tropical-inspired prints, or nostalgic local motifs.
With custom tile printing, homeowners can choose designs that reflect their taste and lifestyle, creating truly personal spaces that feel “designed for them.”
2. Architectural Branding for Commercial Spaces
Custom tiles aren’t just for homes. Cafés, hotels, offices, and retail spaces increasingly integrate brand colours and logos directly into flooring and walls. This enhances the brand experience and adds professional consistency across interiors.
For example, a café chain might use custom cement-look tiles featuring its logo subtly embossed across the bar front — a blend of design and marketing.

3. Technological Innovation Driving Design Freedom
Digital printing technology allows tile surfaces to replicate natural textures — from marble veins to rustic terracotta — with astonishing realism. This gives homeowners access to premium aesthetics without the high cost or maintenance of natural materials.
Kimgres’ advanced printing systems offer high-resolution detail, UV-resistant colours, and durable glaze coatings that withstand Malaysia’s humid climate.
Popular Custom Tile Trends in Malaysia
1. Batik Revival
Heritage motifs are making a strong comeback. Custom tiles featuring Batik patterns, geometric borders, or classic floral designs bring a nostalgic yet contemporary flair to kitchens, foyers, and feature walls.

2. Nature-Inspired Patterns
Malaysia’s tropical climate inspires organic and nature-driven designs — think lush palm leaf imprints, marble swirls, or water ripple textures. These patterns work beautifully in bathrooms and patios, blending natural charm with modern sensibilities.
3. Minimalist & Monochrome Aesthetics
For modern condominiums and commercial offices, neutral-toned, stone-inspired tiles remain a staple. Customisation allows subtle textures — such as cement design tiles or soft minimal finishes — that enhance spatial calmness without visual clutter.

4. Mosaic Art Walls
Digitally printed mosaic tiles can transform entire walls into works of art. From abstract gradients to skyline silhouettes, these custom tiles are perfect for hotel lobbies, spas, or private residences seeking a statement piece.
Benefits of Custom Tile Designs
1. Unlimited Creativity
There are no limits to what can be printed — from bold art to subtle gradients. This creative flexibility allows designers to push aesthetic boundaries.
2. Perfect for Both Residential & Commercial Use
Custom tiles can elevate a condominium foyer, boutique café, or retail flagship store. Their ability to combine design with durability makes them ideal for Malaysia’s diverse spaces.
3. Enhanced Property Value
A bespoke interior creates an impression of exclusivity. Custom tiles elevate perceived quality, increasing the value of high-end properties.
4. Cost-Effective Alternative to Natural Materials
Instead of importing marble or granite, homeowners can achieve the same visual effect with digitally printed porcelain — at a fraction of the cost.
5. Eco-Friendly Production
Digital tile printing minimises waste, water use, and emissions compared to traditional manufacturing. Kimgres continues to explore sustainable production aligned with Malaysia’s Green Building Index (GBI) standards.
Inspiration: Where Custom Tiles Make the Biggest Impact
1. Feature Walls
Transform plain walls into artistic statements — whether a living room mural, hotel reception backdrop, or restaurant accent wall.
2. Kitchen Backsplashes
Custom tiles resist heat, stains, and moisture, making them perfect for creative backsplash designs.
3. Bathroom Feature Panels
Turn the shower wall into a tranquil sanctuary with printed marble or water-inspired motifs.
4. Corporate Interiors
For offices and showrooms, branded tiles subtly reinforce identity through visual cues and colour palettes.
5. Outdoor Spaces
Digitally printed tiles with UV-resistant inks retain their beauty under Malaysian sunlight, suitable for patios and pool decks.
Maintenance Tips for Custom Printed Tiles
-
Clean with Mild Detergents: Use pH-neutral cleaners to preserve the printed glaze.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Acidic products may dull printed finishes over time.
-
Wipe Spills Promptly: Prevent staining, especially for light-coloured prints.
-
Dry After Cleaning: Malaysia’s humidity can leave watermarks; use microfibre cloths.
-
Protect High-Traffic Areas: Use mats or rugs to reduce abrasion on heavily used floors.
