Marazzi Rice

Part of the Crogiolo world, Marazzi Rice is one of the bestselling series at VITALE TILES. It translates the appeal of traditionally glazed ceramics into porcelain stoneware. Slight surface irregularities, delicate tonal differences and glossy reflections bring walls to life. Rice suits kitchens and bathrooms that need personality without a dominant pattern. Within our Marazzi selection, these wall tiles offer a particularly gentle, nuanced expression of colour.

The plain tiles listed in our shop come in three proportions. The small 5x15 cm rectangle creates a fine rhythm, 7.5x20 cm emphasises the elongated shape on a slightly larger scale, and the 15x15 cm square forms a calm grid. Horizontal, vertical and herringbone layouts each change the direction of the wall. Similar grout colours unify the surface, while contrasting joints make the layout more visible. Consider sockets, niches and splashback height when choosing a format. The colour sections below link to all three plain formats and the corresponding decorative products.

Rice Bianco in 15x15 cm brings brightness and gentle ceramic variation to walls. White pairs with oak, pale worktops and black fittings; in a compact guest bathroom, a light wall can make the room feel more open. 5x15 cm and 7.5x20 cm offer directional layouts in the same colour family. Rice Bianco Pleat adds relief, while Rice Bianco Leaf and Rice Bianco Blossom introduce decorative accents. A niche or a single vanity wall can provide enough space for these details to stand out.

Rice Natural in 15x15 cm provides a warm, understated starting point. It combines with cream, sandy shades, timber and warm metal finishes for a welcoming splashback or bathroom with soft transitions between materials. The 5x15 cm and 7.5x20 cm formats introduce a linear rhythm. Rice Natural Pleat, Rice Natural Leaf and Rice Natural Blossom can define a more decorative area. Calm wood look tiles continue the sense of warmth across the room.

Rice Grigio in 15x15 cm suits interiors where the wall should remain understated and express itself mainly through its glaze. Grey complements white cabinetry, stainless steel and black details. 5x15 cm creates a finer scale, while 7.5x20 cm feels more elongated. Rice Grigio Pleat highlights light and shadow; Rice Grigio Leaf and Rice Grigio Blossom introduce decorative focal points. Pair them with quiet concrete look tiles or a subtle stone look on the floor to leave the wall glaze visible.

Rice Blu in 15x15 cm creates a blue accent balanced by white sanitaryware, light flooring and natural timber. Use it on a splashback, behind a basin or in a defined wall zone. The 5x15 cm and 7.5x20 cm rectangles support both horizontal and vertical layouts. Rice Blu Pleat gives the surface more depth, while Rice Blu Leaf and Rice Blu Blossom add a decorative theme. In smaller rooms, a limited feature area helps balance colour with visual calm.

Pleat combines the glossy glaze with three dimensional relief. Side lighting makes the structure more pronounced, while even illumination gives a softer impression. Leaf and Blossom offer other decorative expressions within each colour family. They need not cover the whole room: a wall behind a mirror, a niche or a selected section may be enough. Explore our decorative tiles and mosaic tiles to compare pattern and scale. The matching plain tiles provide a quieter continuation alongside these details.

A lively small wall tile benefits from a calmer floor. Our floor tiles offer different material effects, while large format tiles reduce visual divisions across bigger surfaces. Marble look tiles add an elegant note; terracotta look tiles create a warmer Mediterranean mood. For stronger colours or different reliefs, compare Marazzi Lume in 10x10 and 6x24 cm with Rake and Swing. Those sizes and structures belong to Lume and provide a useful comparison with Rice.

Order tile samples to assess tone, gloss and grout colour in the intended room. Compare them in daylight and evening lighting beside your worktop, furniture and floor.

For specific applications, consult the selected product specifications and consider the complete installation; gloss alone does not establish suitability for floors requiring slip resistance.
