1. Pastel Patterns

Is there anything like a clear, blue-sky day to brighten your mood? Start your day with color therapy with the soft-pastel patterned Annie Selke Flora Vapor Blue floor tile. The Annie Selke Artisanal White handmade-look subway tile adds a craftsman look to this room.

2. Cloudy Mosaics

Even a cloudy sky can be beautiful. We love the mood created with the Winter Morning Glass and Athens Glass Mosaic blue shower tile shown here. The cool, reflective blue-grey tones give off calming vibes that will ease you into your day.

3. Artisanal Handmade Looks

The stunning artisanal appeal of handmade and handmade-look tile infuses your space with vibrant visual texture. The Cool Blue tile, shown here, offers the perfectly imperfect aesthetic of authentic handmade tiles, but with the added benefit of being easier to install (and more budget-friendly) thanks to its 12″ x 24″ format and pre-scored grout lines.

4. Abstract Patterns

Show off your artistic side with the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile. The abstract blue glossy patterns, overlaid on a cream-colored matte base are designed to resemble glazed pottery. With six distinct tile faces, you can create a custom design that’s uniquely you.

5. Ornate Patterns

A charming floral or lace-like pattern adds a touch of grace to any space. In this cozy bathroom, Danielle Deming Home & Design paired the Zara Blue tile with a blue accent wall and modern fixtures, creating a unique transitional space. Discover how to achieve this traditional meets contemporary look in our guide to transitional design.

6. Bright Bold and Geometric

Add dimension to your walls with a bold geometric tile. The dark- and light-blue lines in the Blu Window Hex tile create dynamic visual interest on this wall. This blue bathroom tile works well with the simple accents and white fixtures.

7. Beach Vibes

The Summerland by Jeffery Alan Marks is everything we love about laid-back, seaside summers. The blue bathroom floor and wall tile is designed to look like faded linen embroidery, this patterned hexagon tile looks great paired with neutral accents and tile like the Tribeca Gypsum White. Discover more beachy style ideas in our guide to coastal chic design.

8. Denim Pattern

The Laura Ashley Star Cloud Blue is blue-jean dreams. With the fun and dimensional hexagon shape and the playful star pattern, this tile is casual yet chic. Pair it with a subtle white tile like the Penny Round Matte White to make this tile a standout.

9. Stylish Shower

A beautifully patterned or mosaic tile makes for a stunning tile focal point, sure to enliven any shower. Much like a decorative throw pillow on a white couch, placing the Annie Selke Aylin Blue tile in the center of the shower creates a designer moment without overwhelming the space.

10. Sleek Subway Tile

Always on trend and endlessly versatile, subway tile is a bathroom staple. This contemporary bathroom features Look Avio tile, which is installed in a grid pattern for a chic style that draws the eye. Discover more design ideas in this guide to subway tile layouts.

The Merrakesh Blue tile is used on the sink backsplash, while the Merrakesh Off White tile is incorporated in a checkerboard pattern along the shower wall, giving the space a unique yet simple design. If you love this artistic, eclectic style, check out our guide to boho chic design.

12. Blue Star

Modern farmhouse design tends to favor warm, earthy tones, but the Star Blue tile with its folk-art-inspired pattern will add a pop of cool color to your decor. We love how Z & Co. Designs paired this Americana pattern with contemporary hardware for a sleek, yet homey aesthetic. Discover how to achieve this cozy-chic style in our guide to modern farmhouse design.

The post Year In Review: Top 10 Bathrooms of 2024 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

1. Hotel-Inspired Interiors

Luxurious, serene and universally appealing, hotel-style interiors make every day feel like a vacation. This five-star shower features the Pisa Oro wall tile matched with the Kasbah Star Bone and Terracotta Cross for a rich and pampering space. Choose luxe marble- or handmade-look tiles in a warm, neutral palette to achieve this look.

2. Celebration of Pattern

Whether graphic and bold, or soft and floral, we predict that patterns will be gracing more walls and floors. Durable and easy to clean, porcelain and ceramic tiles are perfect for showcasing a favorite print–especially in high-traffic or high-mess areas like a kitchen backsplash. Shop our extensive selection of patterned tile to find a design you’ll love.

3. Picket Tile

A new twist on traditional subway tile, picket tile has gained popularity in recent years, and we foresee it continuing to add pointed charm for years to come. Shop our full selection of picket tile to find a style that fits your space.

4. Curves

Sofas aren’t the only traditionally boxy items turning to rounded edges; curved tile has fewer sharp points, creating a softness to your interior design. Scallops, waves and penny rounds–with their soothing silhouettes–will be featured in more spaces. Here, the Gem by Alison Victoria tile shows how the curved edge enlivens a space with gentle movement.

5. A Focus On Artisan Designs

Both interior design and fashion saw a renewed enthusiasm for handcrafted goods in 2024, and we expect this trend toward authenticity and quality to continue into the new year. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, each Zellige tile adds one-of-a-kind character to your home. This kitchen, designed by Fox Homes and featuring the Zellige White Gloss tile, shows how the slight variations from piece to piece come together to create an elegant space.

6. Eclecticism

Artfully mixed patterns, colors and materials are what make eclectic design so intriguing. This style rewards the bold and unconventional, as seen in the uniquely patterned Big Sur tile from celebrity designer Jeffrey Alan Marks. The abstract layers of glossy blue patina top a cream-colored matte base, giving the appearance of glazed pottery. Shop Big Sur in its two distinct colorways: Sea Spray (green) and Off the Hook (shown).

7. Japandi

A harmonious blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design, Japandi places significance on soothing colors, high-quality materials and a connection with nature. Choose warm neutral colors and wood-look tile (such as the Nidus Decore Mix tile shown here) to create your personal Zen retreat.

8. Brilliant Blue

From bright cobalt to rich navy to vivid sky, blue in all its hues will infuse our interiors with vibrant, serotonin-inducing vibes in 2025. Shop our wide assortment of blue tile–including the Zellige Azul gloss tile shown here–to find the perfect shade for your space.

9. Cozy Patterns

Charming florals are a cornerstone of some of our favorite emerging trends. “English cottage” and the closely related “granny chic” styles use vintage-inspired plays of pattern and color to evoke the cozy feeling of curling up on an overstuffed sofa with a warm cup of tea. The whimsical patterns in our exclusive Laura Ashley collection will help you achieve this timeless trend.

10. Glass and Mirrors

Reflective surfaces will brighten more spaces in 2025. Mirrored glass tiles add warmth and depth to your space, making them a great choice for kitchen backsplashes or entryway walls. Here, the Patina Siren Mirror by Kelli Fontana tile helps to illuminate this stylish kitchen.

11. Textured Walls

The coming year will be about celebrating all five senses, which means adding tactile elements to your home. Fluted tile, like the Violin Decor tile shown here, adds texture to your walls. Install this tile in your bathroom or shower to awaken your senses at the start of the day.

12. Natural Neutrals

The trend toward embracing the shapes, materials and colors of nature will continue into the new year. Warm browns and beiges reflect the outside world and create a serene and soothing atmosphere. Shop our full assortment of brown and beige tiles to create tranquil spaces.

13. All Things Green

Increasingly recognized as a new neutral, green inspires a feeling of connectivity with nature, making it a popular shade for home interiors. Its versatility in pairing with other colors makes it a go-to tone for a variety of styles. Shop our wide selection of green tile and create your own envy-worthy space.

14. Self-Care Spaces

Making time to be your best self is more than just a trend. Prioritize your self-care by creating spaces that promote well-being. Whether it’s an ultra-luxe bathroom like this Nikki Chu-designed room, or a tranquil shower, having a place in your home that relaxes and revitalizes you will help you care for more than just yourself.

15. Natural Stone

Luxurious and unique, natural stone continues to be a popular design choice. In addition to the ever-popular marble, we predict that travertine will grace many spaces in 2025. Here, Arctic White marble is paired with Claros Silver travertine for a beautifully textured shower.

We can’t wait to see all the amazing spaces you create in 2025! Share your next project by tagging us @thetileshop on Instagram or uploading it directly to our Customer Room Gallery (you can find even more design inspo there, too)!

The post Our Top 15 Tile Trend Predictions for 2025 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

1. Elevate Your Design With a Glass-Marble Mix

Tile that combines two or more materials will bring complexity and visual texture to your space. Here, the Divisa Storm tile elegantly blends marble and glass for a striking design. The marble veining, along with the chevron pattern, infuse the space with a sense of movement that complements the woodgrain detail of the shelf.  

2. Cast a Romantic Glow

The Patina Gilded Mirror tile casts a golden hue in this luxurious kitchen, designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang. The gold mirrored tile features a beautiful coloration, creating a soft, romantic effect. If you love this chic, whimsical style, explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.  

3. Infuse Your Space With Beachy Blue

The brilliant Glass Sky Blue Amalfi tile fills this space with a soothing coastal tone. The charming pastel evokes the tranquility of a bright day at the beach, perfect for creating a cheerful design. For more ideas on how to bring seaside serenity into your space, check out this helpful guide to “coastal chic.”  

4. Incorporate a Stunning Picture Frame

A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

5. Create Movement With a Chevron Pattern

A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.  

6. Add Serene Neutrals

The Santos Beach tile‘s blue, grey and beige tones convey a calm coastal landscape. The combination of warm and cool neutrals adds a tranquil, yet visually complex, backdrop to this contemporary kitchen.

7. Choose a Mirrored Tile to Reflect Your Personality

Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash. Designed by Timber Trails, the kitchen features this standout tile only on the top half of the backsplash to avoid overwhelming the space—we think they struck the perfect balance.

8. Add Hex-cellent Dimension

The hexagon is a classic shape that’s experiencing a resurgence in the interior design world. Here, the Posh Brushed Silver mosaic tile creates a lustrous backsplash. If you love this timeless shape, shop our wide assortment of hexagon tile.

The post 8 Stunning Glass Tile Ideas for Kitchen Backsplashes appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

Today, “boho” style embodies the spirit of its carefree beginnings. Bold patterns, global influences and layered textures create spaces that celebrate an artistic and worldly sensibility. Whether you’re drawn to bright colors or neutrals, visually rich or serene spaces, you’ll find something to love in the modern interpretation of “boho chic.” Read on for eight expressive and inviting tile ideas to incorporate this timeless and worldly style into your space.

1. Celebrate the Antique

Vintage furniture and decor have a natural home in boho design. Incorporate this retro sensibility in tile with an antique-inspired pattern. Here, the Inlay Proper by Kelli Fontana tile, in Eden Ode and Florence Lace, is installed in a checkerboard pattern for an elegant yet whimsical arrangement. The ornate leaf motif is reminiscent of Victorian designs, creating a timeless appeal.

2. Embrace Bold Patterns

Display the artistic sensibilities at the heart of boho chic design with a bold, graphic patterned tile, like the Nikki Chu Tangier Graphite tile shown here. The geometric pattern is inspired by artwork that celebrity designer Nikki Chu encountered on her travels. The hand-drawn shapes complement the organic textures of the soft off-white fabrics and wooden shelves, creating a visually rich space that embodies this expressive aesthetic. For more graphic patterns in a range of neutral tones, shop our exclusive Nikki Chu collection.

3. Find Inspiration in Global Design

Look to classic and worldly prints and patterns to create the eclectic appeal of boho style. This gorgeous kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, features the Annie Selke Ikat Black tile, which is inspired by traditional Indonesian tie-dye designs. The black and brown pattern resembles weathered textiles, and this visual texture complements the stunning organic and tactile elements in the room–namely the plants, woven lamp shade and wooden ceiling, shelf and countertop.

4. Use Unique Shapes

Besides pattern, a great way to add visual interest to your space is through eye-catching silhouettes. Curved, diamond-shaped and arabesque tiles demand attention with their unorthodox forms, as shown in this boho chic bar backsplash featuring the Gem by Alison Victoria tile. The scalloped edges and expressive green marble add a sense of movement to this space, and the antique appeal is heightened by the faded gold wallpaper and the glass shelves with decorative brass fixtures. Shop our wide selection of uniquely shaped tile to find a silhouette that expresses your individual style.

5. Experiment with Layouts

Lean into the unconventional aspect of boho design by creating your own bold layout. Endlessly versatile, subway tile is perfect for developing a design that’s all your own. This bathroom is a great example, featuring a unique design that alternates horizontal and vertical stacks of the Villa tile in Warm Grey Gloss and White Gloss. The result is a stand-out wall that still maintains the space’s soft neutral color scheme. We love how this wall tile pairs with the Moroccan-inspired Kasbah Cross and Star Terracotta tile floor.

6. Start with a Neutral Base

Though boho chic allows for bold patterns and bright colors, you can still express your bohemian sensibilities in more muted tones. In fact, more and more modern boho spaces are embracing a neutral color palette as a base and adding eclectic elements as accents. That’s what West Bay Homes achieved in this gorgeous beige and pink bathroom. The Legno travertine floor tile grounds this space in soft tones, while the wicker light shades, light pink cabinet details, and smooth polished marble countertop give this space the rich visual texture characteristic of boho chic design.

7. Dazzle With Jewel Tones

Another way to achieve a sleek and unique boho interior is to saturate your space with bright jewel tones. This stunning bathroom features brilliant sapphire blue throughout. The Marrakesh Blue handmade-look tile creates a color-drenched tableau that extends to matching paint across the walls and ceiling. The checkerboard shower wall adds a whimsical touch and provides a slight respite from the bold color. If you love this jewel-tone effect, shop our full assortment of blue, green and purple tile.

8. Add Texture

Pattern, material and finish can add visual texture to a space, but for a highly tactile experience, consider adding a fluted or sculptural tile. This shower features the wood-look fluted Violin Decor tile. The raised “flutes” add to the sensory experience of this space, contributing to its relaxed vibe. Much like the wicker, burlap and woven fibers characteristic of boho chic, fluted wood-look tile adds organic texture to your design.

5. Infuse Your Space With Soothing “Neutral” Tones

This bright and inviting kitchen, designed by A Life Unfolding, is the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing matcha tea. The Glass Green Tea subway tile backsplash is serene enough to serve as a neutral. The color blends nicely with the blonde wood range hood and white shelving.

6. Add a Touch of Blue

This cozy “modern farmhouse” kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, is case in point; the Look Avio tile used on the side of the kitchen island complements the neutral color scheme while standing out enough to create interest.

7. Embrace a Groovy Pattern

Invigorate your space with vibrant jewel tones like emerald and sapphire. Here the bright bejeweled hue of the Canatina Blue tile creates a brilliant focal point for the stove backsplash.

10. Keep It Cool With a Blue Kitchen Backsplash

The fluctuating tones of the Marrakesh Blue tile create a water-like feel for this kitchen backsplash. The handmade-look tiles vary in color and surface texture, and the glossy finish captures the light as it plays across the surface. The effect is stunning and serene. If you love this tile’s perfectly imperfect appearance, shop our wide assortment of handmade-look tile.

The post 10 Brilliant Blue and Green Kitchen Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

1. Keep it straight (stack)

The orderly rows of a vertical straight stack make for a design that’s neat in every sense of the word. The handmade-look Hackney Dark Blue tile shown here features rich teal and blue shades with a patina, giving this backsplash a sense of movement and expressive visual interest.

2. Make it Cool & Modern with a Vertical Offset

A vertical layout gives your space the illusion of height–perfect for a low-ceilinged shower. This chic space designed by Alison Victoria features her Tile Shop-exclusive Brick x Brick tile in Petal in a brick-lay layout turned 90-degrees. The beautifully textured subway tile is softened by the pretty pastel color, for look that’s slightly edgy, yet still feminine.

3. Mix Glossy & Matte for a Design that Shines

The band of glossy tile on this matte bathroom wall captures the light for an elegant design that adds brightness to the space. We love how the Coco Canvas Glossy tile are arranged in a vertical stripe, but you can achieve a similar look with alternating bands of glossy and matte without changing the tiles’ direction.

4. Black & White: a Classically Chic Combo

Black and white is a chic and timeless neutral pairing. This shower features the Tribeca Basalt and the Tribeca Gypsum White tiles color blocked walls paired with the black-and-white patterned Summerland by Jeffery Alan Marks in Toro tile. The basic color pairing is easily updated with colored accessories as trends (or your mood) change.

5. Go Both Ways With a Grid Stack

Add interest to your design by mixing horizontal and vertical tiles in a grid stack. This elegant modern, bathroom features the Look Avio tile in alternating stacks of four. The orderly rows create movement that draws the eye across the wall, and we love how the contrasting white grout joints are used to further accentuate this design.

6. White Subway Tile Bathroom Ideas

Just like the original pieces designed for the New York subway system, these rectangular white tiles give off the appearance of modern cleanliness. Whether you install them in a traditional brick lay or a chic herringbone–like the one used in this “modern farmhouse” bathroom designed by I SPY DIY–you can’t go wrong with this timeless and versatile tile.

7. Retro Subway Tile Ideas

The addition of trim pieces takes this subway tile backsplash from ordinary to extraordinary. The Imperial Bianco Gloss REL tile provides a finishing piece with a rounded corner along one side, while the Black High Pencil Liner is a sophisticated detail that adds to this space’s retro glam appeal.

8. Large Subway Tile Ideas

10. Pair Subway with Large-Format Tile

You don’t need to commit your entire bathroom space to a single wall tile. The versatility of subway tile makes it an excellent complement to a large-format tile, like the Invisible Grey marble-look tile used for the shower wall in this modern bathroom. The Splendor Blanco handmade-look tile matches the white in the larger tile, allowing for the bold veining to be the standout.

11. Small Bathroom Subway Tile Ideas

Make a big impact in a small space with a subway tile floor design. This powder room designed by Coco & Jack features the Claros Silver tumbled travertine subway tile for a rustic, brick look.

1. Abstract Shore-line Patterns

Named for the famous California coastline, the Big Sur tiles–available in Off the Hook (blue) and Sea Spray (green)–are the newest tiles in designer Jeffrey Alan Marks’ West Coast-inspired collection. The vibrant-colored abstract glossy pattern is set atop a cream-colored matte base. While these tiles are meant to mimic the look of glazed pottery, they also invoke a wave washing into a sandy shore. Pair this tile with neutral accessories (like the woven shades on the wall sconces in this stylish, modern bathroom) to highlight the uniquely expressive patterns.

2. Sandy Shades

Capture the warmth of a sunny beach and embrace a neutral color palette, with elegant beige tile. Relaxed sandy shades are the perfect base for your coastal aesthetic and can be accentuated with colorful details, nautical nicknacks or left bare for an elegantly minimalistic look like this calming bathroom. We love how the curved edges of the Wave Old Cream tile embodies both the sandy hue and the relaxing movement of the ocean.

The neutral Tribeca Gypsum White tile complements the blue-and-white patterned tile and the woven and wooden accessories add to the tactile, organic feel of this space.

5. Cool Cloudy Neutrals

Not every day on the beach is sunny. Embrace the many moods of the sea with cool neutral grey tones. This bathroom features the Verona Gray, an elegant stone-look porcelain wall tile. The natural appearance of the shade variation creates a sense of movement evoking a cloudy sky. On the floor, the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey tile showcases a white blossom star pattern, adding interest to the space. While the white flowers are charming, the coastal appeal of this space could easily be turned up a notch with the inclusion of some woven, wooden or blue accessories. Shop grey tile to find your perfect cloudy neutral vibe.

6. Stunning Stripes

Nothing invokes the nautical aesthetic quite like stripes, but if your aim is coastal chic, not coastal kitsch, elevate your striped pattern with beautiful sand-colored neutrals like this stunning shower designed by Timber Trails. The elegant white San Dona marble tile is complemented by the Legno travertine tile’s soft beige tones. The delicate veining in these stone tiles creates subtle movement that elevates this space and evokes the organic appeal of a sandy shore.

7. Nautical Nods

All hands are on deck in this elegant bathroom designed by West Bay Homes. The Decora Redondo tile features a chic nautical-esque pattern. The crosses and stars in elegant greige invoke the high-seas iconography of a nautical helm, without being overly kitsch. We particularly love how modern this bathroom is with its styled with the decorative blue coral, a stylish twist on classic coastal decor.

8. Pale Blue Accents

Blue is the staple of the coastal chic aesthetic, and when you think coastal hues, the shade you probably conjure is probably a pretty pastel sky blue. For this coastal-inspired living room, Timber Trails began their design with the Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile as the centering design element. The blue of the fireplace is repeated in the pillows, but the rest of the room remains white, keeping this space elegant, but subdued. Read all about how Timber Trails designed this blue-themed house.

9. Saturated Ocean Blues

If you’re in love with blue, there’s no need to relegate it to your accent pillows. A brightly-hued, saturated blue space fits right in with the coastal chic style book. In fact, why not go all-in with blue in one room, and add dabs in another. This beautiful laundry room designed by West Bay Homes is coastal elegance to the max. While the decorative Decora Ornament Blue tile is giving us more French Mediterranean than Cali-coast vibes, the color palette and minimal, earthy accessories keep this in coastal territory.

10. Warm & Sunny Neutrals

Brighten your space and your day with warm, sunny neutrals. This creamy-toned beverage station features the handmade-look Riad White tile. The undulating surface tone and texture creates movement as the light reflects at different points in the tile, mimicking the look of light reflecting off water. This space is warm and inviting, and if you swapped the floral prints with seaside views, you’d have a perfectly chic coastal space.
