Only have a small space dedicated to doing the wash? The right laundry room tile makes even the tiniest space feel luxurious. Read on for 20 of our favorite tile ideas to add cheer to your chores. 

1. Choose a Durable Hardwood Alternative

If you like the look of hardwood but are hesitant to install it in a space where spills and heavy machinery are a given, water- and scratch-resistant wood-look tile is the answer. The Woodsman Deep Forest tile, shown here, embodies the rustic characteristics of natural wood while providing the durability of porcelain.

2. Transform Your Space Into a Spanish Villa

Your laundry room tile has the ability to transport you to another time and place. The terracotta-look Provenzal Alhama Cotto tile features a unique shape and terracotta coloring you’d expect to find in a Mediterranean home. If you love an unusual silhouette, shop our wide selection of uniquely shaped tile.

3. Add Elegance With a Marble Mosaic

Don’t be afraid to display your delicates—a marble mosaic exudes dainty, elegant style. This luxurious laundry room, designed by Ela Bobak, features the Meram Blanc Carrara Chevron mosaic tile. The zig-zag tile format and soft grey and beige veining add a subtle sense of movement, creating a beautiful and serene space.

Add a vintage flair with the Hex Matte White With Black Flower tile. This cute mosaic is a classic black-and-white pattern that harkens back to 1960s and-70s flower-power designs. Want to recreate this design in a custom color palette? Shop our wide selection of hexagon tiles.

5. Create an On-Point Look

Like neatly folded sheets, the Picket Florencia Super Bianco tile backsplash features crisp lines and precision corners. A twist on traditional subway tile, picket tile offers a sense of movement as well as the orderliness of a picket fence. If you love this pointed design, shop our wide selection of picket tile.

You don’t need to revert to Medieval washing methods to infuse your space with the charm of the old country.

9. Create an Elevated Modern Farmhouse Aesthetic

Cozy and chic, modern farmhouse design connects you to the tradition of living off the land, even if you’re settled in the suburbs. This refined space, designed by Timber Trails, takes the typical modern farmhouse style up a notch by including the Sampson tile along the backsplash. This basketweave mosaic uses a classic pattern and luxurious marble to create an elegant, yet homey, design.

Uniquely luxurious, marble tile takes any space to the next level. Make your laundry room a space you want to linger between loads with the Black Marquina Hex tile. The grey and white veining adds visual texture to the floor and can also help mask the appearance of dirt and spills.

This well-ordered laundry room, designed by @prettyhouseproject, features a small hex tile backsplash. The 1” x 1” Hex Gloss White tile creates a dotted effect, adding interest to this monochromatic space. Choose any small hexagon-shaped tile or penny round tile to achieve this look.

13. Protect Your Wall With a Backsplash

Guard your walls against splashes and spills with a tiled backsplash. A glass tile, like the Glass Burlap Subway tile shown here, provides an easy-to-clean surface, making mishaps with the detergent less of a headache. Shop our wide selection of glass tile to find a look that reflects your style.

Neutrals add a sense of tranquility to your space, making even a chore a calming activity. Here, the Hampton Carrara Hex tile features an elegant mix of warm beige and cool grey veining on a crisp white background. The mix of warm and cool neutrals creates a contemporary palette that complements a variety of colors and styles.

The whimsical patterns featured in our Laura Ashley collection perfectly suit a range of popular cottage-core styles, from English Country Cottage to the trending Granny Chic.

16. Use a Marble-Look Tile for an Elegant & Durable Floor

Your laundry floor probably withstands a lot of traffic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a luxurious space. Marble-look tile combines the elegance of marble with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain. This traditional-style laundry room pairs stylish black-and-white Marble Star floor tile with taupe cabinets for a space that feels both elevated and relaxed.

17. Go Natural with Slate Tile

Natural stone features unique variations between pieces making this a one-of-a-kind design trend that has been around for literally ages. With colors ranging from black to rust, slate tile is popular for its rustic look and natural surface variation. The Adoni Black tile shown here has a natural grey tone that elevates this laundry room, while the colored veining adds a sense of movement that softens the space.

18. Make Your Walls Pop

Add texture to your walls with a sculptural or 3-D wall tile. The Flow 1 Greige tile used for the walls in this traditional-style laundry room adds a stylish pattern that will appear to change as the light moves through the room.

19. Mix Your Darks and Lights

You wouldn’t think of mixing your lights and darks together in the washer, but a black-and-white patterned tile can enliven your laundry room floor. We love how the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal tile brings bold design to this simple space. Shop our wide selection of black-and-white tile for more chic and unique designs.

20. Break Out the Plaid

A checkerboard tile floor is a design win, but if you want to add an extra element to your room, try adding squares in a third color. This black, white and grey tile floor is classy and fun and the simple color scheme keeps this small space looking clean and orderly. Shop our vast selection of square tile to achieve this (or a more traditional two-tone checkerboard) look.

One of our 2025 trend predictions is an increased interest in wellness-focused spaces. Self-care is more than just a trend; it’s a mindset that enables you to show up at your best–for yourself, your family and your work. Here are nine bathroom ideas to help maximize relaxation and rejuvenation in your daily routine.

1. Create Serenity With Mixed Finishes

Mixing glossy and matte finishes is a subtle way to create visual texture in your space, creating a feeling of tranquility. The glossy finish reflects light, brightening the room, while the matte finish offers a soothing respite. This luxurious bathroom, designed by Timber Trails, combines Queen Beige polished marble with San Dona honed marble tile, creating a subtly sophisticated space.

2. Spa Bathroom Ideas

Beige, brown and ochre are calming bathroom colors that evoke a feeling of warmth. This spa-like bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, showcases the Macchia Vecchia marble-look tile. While the color palette remains soft, the tiles’ dramatic veining adds an invigorating sense of movement, making this space at once restive and rejuvenating.

3. Sensory Bathroom Ideas

The Enredo Steel Dark Brown wall tile adds visual and tactile texture to this space. The raised surface provides an energizing component by stimulating the sense of touch, while the dark neutral color produces a calming effect, making this the perfect place to start or end your day.

4. Relaxing Bathroom Ideas

A corner seat provides a place to rest and relax in your shower. A seat may also be a necessity for people with mobility issues, and it is a great addition if you’re looking to make your home more adaptable for aging in place. As this gorgeous shower demonstrates, it can also be quite stylish.

This chic shower features scalloped green marble tile and a marble-look tile with dramatic green veining and gold trim.

5. Increase Your Connectivity to Nature

Colors and textures inspired by the outdoors help boost serotonin and ground you in the natural world. Blues, greens, earth tones and wood looks all relax and rejuvenate the senses. While natural wood might not be ideally suited to the dampness of a bathroom, a wood-look tile, like the Violin Decor tile shown here, will still contribute to a soothing space. For more ideas on bringing nature’s benefits into your home, check out our guide to biophilic design.

This luxurious shower features a blue handmade-look tile and a fluted wood-look tile accent wall.
Featuring: Cool Blue, Violin Decor and DURAL Black Matte Square Edge.

6. Declutter With a Shower Niche

Ditch the shower caddy and store your shampoo in style with an integrated shower niche. Showcasing a favorite patterned or mosaic tile in your niche will elevate your overall bathroom design. These niches are also adaptable to your space; you can install multiple niches to meet your needs or create one long shelf.

This beautiful white marble shower wall features a long recessed shelf.

7. Surround Yourself With Soothing Natural Stone

Nothing says luxury like natural stone. The unique tones and veining found in marble, slate and travertine will make your space truly one of a kind. This shower features Legno limestone tile throughout; the natural veining adds movement, while the warm shades of beige infuse the space with serene tranquility.

Featuring: Legno, Legno Wheaton, Legno Luce Corsica, Legno Luce Skirting, Legno Luce Barnes, Legno Corner Seat, Legno Luce Bullnose, Legno Luce Somereset and Legno Double Chevron.

8. Create an Invigorating Pattern

When designing your self-care haven, the most important consideration is finding what appeals most to you. Incorporating a bold pattern to showcase your personality may be more appealing than natural stone. The Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile, shown here, features an artistic pattern with six distinct tile faces, offering a wealth of creative possibilities. Shop our full selection of patterned tiles to find a design that reflects your style.

9. Add an Interesting Focal Point

A tile focal point–whether it’s a stylish picture frame accent or a floor-to-ceiling stripe–adds interest to your space. Mosaics and patterned tiles, like the Toris Bandes tile shown here, add shape, movement and design. Play with contrasting and complementary patterns, textures and shapes to find a look that embodies your zen bathroom design.

This contemporary shower features wood-look porcelain tile and a band of white with black lined diamond-patterned tile and black  half-hexagon mosaic tile floor.
Featuring: Amazona Amendoa Wood Look, Trois Bandes, Noir Honed Hixton, Noir Flat Corner Shelf and Tory Black.

Looking to add brightness and sophistication to your cooking space? Beautifully reflective glass tile is a perfect choice. Read on to discover eight kitchen backsplash tile ideas that will make your space shine.

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.

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.

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.

Ready for a room refresh? Add elegance–and protection against messes–with a luxurious new kitchen backsplash. Read on for 14 gorgeous marble tile ideas to transform your space into a true marvel.

1. Combine Warm and Cool Neutrals

This luxe kitchen backsplash, designed by @cjuncaj, features the expressively veined Firenze Calacatta tile.

3. Create a Slab Effect

Achieve the luxurious “slab” look with a large rectangular marble tile, like the 12″ x 24″ Calacata Evora tile shown here. Larger tile requires fewer grout joints, resembling the appearance of a single slab of marble. You can also obtain the slab marble look with large-format porcelain tile, available in sizes up to 48″ x 48″.  

This kitchen features a large white marble tile backsplash installed with few and subtle grout lines for a "slab" effect.

4. Mix Marble and Metal

Layering materials adds visual texture to your space. The Palermo Noir Stone Hex tile, featured on this stylish kitchen backsplash, combines rich black marble with small pieces of brushed bronze. We love how the chic bronze accents complement the metal faucet and fixtures.  

5. Get a Modern Farmhouse Look With a Basketweave Mosaic

This kitchen, designed by Timber Trails, showcases elevated modern farmhouse design. The Sampson mosaic tile features an exquisite basketweave pattern of white and beige marble. Paired with open shelving and wooden accessories, this backsplash embodies the cozy-chic aspect of modern farmhouse style.

6. Set a Mood With Grey Marble

Love the tone of a cloudy sky? Bring it indoors with an expressive grey tile, like the Bianco Colorato shown here. The soft light and dark grey veining are beautifully balanced by subtle beige tones, creating a harmonious neutral look. We love how this gorgeous grey complements the white cabinets and wood shelves.

7. Cast a “Hex”

Available in a range of sizes, colors and materials, hexagon tile is a retro shape that has found a fresh application in our spaces in recent years. Marble, with its vivid veining–bold or subtle, like the soft grey featured in the Royal White Hex tile—adds a sense of movement to your hexagon tile backsplash.

8. Elevate Your Space With a Waterjet Mosaic

Glass and marble are elegantly combined in the Northbrook Glass with Black Marquina tile. Created using high-powered jets of water that carve intricate grooves in the hard stone, waterjet mosaics combine natural stone with glass, metal or mother-of-pearl. As an added bonus, the glass in this mosaic captures light, brightening the cooking space.  

9. Create a Rustic Look With Tumbled Marble

The worn appearance of tumbled marble is achieved by placing the stone in a rotating drum with rocks, sand and water. The result is a beautifully textured tile that is both refined and rustic. This charming kitchen, designed by Esslinger Design Co., features a backsplash of Meram Blanc Carrara tumbled marble subway tile, which creates an elevated brick wall feel.

10. Add Art Deco Charm

Curves and geometric shapes are hallmarks of classic Art Deco design. This style, popularized in the 1920s, has reemerged in the 2020s with a contemporary twist—and we’re loving it! Here, the stylish Christie Volakas mosaic tile, featuring lush marble and gilded metal accents, creates a space that Gadsby would adore.

11. Create a Sense of Movement With Chevron

This V-shaped tile creates a pleasing zigzag pattern that adds a sense of movement to this kitchen. The natural grey veining adds texture, complementing the organic elements, such as the wicker lamp shade and open wood shelving.  If you love this classic look, explore our wide assortment of chevron tile.

12. Add a Marble Tile “Picture Frame”

Make your favorite marble mosaic a focal point by showcasing it in a tiled picture frame. This technique, created using decorative trim to frame a patterned or mosaic tile, adds a highly designed, picturesque element to your space. It’s also a great way to add a touch of luxury while staying within budget.

13. Marvel With Marble Subway Tile

Elevate the everyday with a luxurious marble subway tile. This crisp and clean backsplash, designed by Timber Trails, features Meram Blanc Carrara subway tile. The soft veining in this winter white marble adds dimension, enhancing standard white subway tile with a touch of elegance.  

14. Choose a Diamond-Shaped Tile for a “Cut Above”

Bold grey veining adds movement to this opulent backsplash. The Africa Tempesta Wheaton tile features beautiful diamond and chevron shapes, enhancing the dynamic quality of the design. We love how the cloudy grey tile contrasts with the white countertop.

3. Go Back to Basics With White Subway Tile

White subway remains a popular tile for a reason–the sleek and clean design is endlessly versatile, making this a great tile choice if you anticipate wanting to change up your bathroom decor with the seasons (or your moods). Here, @talk_repurposed installed the Imperial Bianco Matte tile with black grout, creating continuity of color between the walls and the black and white penny tile floor.

4. Add Shape & Movement with Marble Hexagon Tile

An elegant marble instantly elevates any room’s design. Choose a dynamic shape, like the Hampton Carrara Tumbled Hex tile shown here, to add even more interest to your space. The veining in the marble creates subtile variations in color between the tile pieces for a natural sense of movement.

5. Expand Your Wall Space with Large-Format Tile

Large-format tile requires fewer grout lines, which will give your space a more expansive and cohesive look–perfect for a small powder room! And you don’t need to tile the entire room to get the effect. This bathroom, designed by Domicile 37, uses oversized Invisible Grey tile as a wainscoting. Installed vertically, this tile gives the space the illusion of height as well as depth.

6. Create a Wellness-Focused Space With Wood-Look Tile

Wood-look tile offers the same connection to nature and serotonin-boosting benefits as natural wood. The Fileto Camel tile used in this chic bathroom features a soothing fluted look that adds to the tactile experience of this space. For more ideas on the nature-inspired benefits of “biophilic design” check out this helpful guide.

7. Add Texture With Sculptural Tile

Like fluted tile, sculptural or 3D tile will add to the sensory experience of your space. The wavy ridges of the Ritual tile, shown here, create texture and soft movement. As the light catches on the raised portion of the tile and casts shadows, the effect is a dynamic space that can be changed with the simple addition of a candle.

8. Soften the Edges with Wave-Shaped Tile

Tile is a hard design element by definition, but tiles with a curved shape–like the Wave Grey Owl tile shown here–will lend softness to your space. The curves of the mirror, circular wall sconce, and even the sink basin all work with the curved tile to give this space a feeling of ease.

9. Create a Beachy Vibe

Give your powder room a relaxed seaside update with “coastal chic” design. Characterized by charming blues and warm neutrals, this sleek style goes beyond basic nautical nods. We love how the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile uses an abstract, wave-like pattern to evoke the ocean shore. For more beachy tile ideas, check out this comprehensive guide.

10. Pair a Pattern With a Pattern

Because it’s a relatively small area of the house, and perhaps not a room you’ll use on a daily basis, the powder room is a great place to explore your style. Patterns that might feel busy in the master bathroom can provide an unexpected surprise for your guests. Here, a bold floral wallpaper is paired with a black-and-white marble-look patterned tile for a visually stimulating space.

11. Create a Chic (and Cozy) Space

“Modern farmhouse” embraces comfy, homey and effortlessly stylish design. If this is your aesthetic, then your powder room is the perfect place to put it on display. For this rustic-chic bathroom I SPY DIY based their design around the hexagon mirror, using the simple Silver Hex tile to highlight this shape and tie in to the neutral tone of this space.

12. Soften Your Space With a Pastel Palette

Create a dreamy space that relaxes your senses with soft pastel tile. This lovely powder room, designed by Rodi Homes, features the Color Market Alice tile installed in a herringbone pattern. The light pink tile makes this space light and feminine, while zig-zag grout lines add bold movement.

13. Mix Old and New With Transitional Design

This elegant bathroom from Timber Trails perfectly encapsulates the timeless charm of transitional design. Blending traditional elements (the grey paneled walls and regally shaped mirror) with the contemporary light fixture and diamond-shaped tile, this space transcends trends. If your style falls between classic and contemporary, discover more ideas in our Tile For Every Style guide to transitional design.

14. Add Depth to Your Space With Glossy Tile

Make your small space feel larger with a slightly reflective glossy tile that catches the light. The gloss finish of the Tribeca Basalt tile used in this bathroom creates the illusion of depth and also brightens the room. Glossy tile is perfect for a space that includes a natural light source.

10. Craven Haven’s Ultra-Charming Utility Room

Form meets multi-function in this all-purpose room designed by Mackenzie of the popular Craven Haven blog. Mackenzie chose the Trecento Calacatta Marbello luxury vinyl flooring for its style and durability. Waterproof, scratch-proof and stain-resistant, this luxury vinyl tile provides the look of natural stone in easy-to-maintain material, adding an unassuming elegance to this laundry/mudroom/storage space.

9. Kyla Marie Charles’ Sleek & Chic Kitchen

This kitchen backsplash got a modern facelift. By replacing the cupboards with floating shelves and installing white tile, Kyla Marie Charles created a space that feels bright and open–perfect for sparking culinary creativity. We love how the handmade-look features of the Retro Lino tile add subtle interest to this wall.

8. Faust Design Build’s Starry Delight Bathroom

The Asteri tile with its fun, yet classic star pattern provides a twist on the traditional in this stately modern bathroom designed by Faust Design Build. The black and off-white tile ties in with the light wood cabinets and sleek black hardware of the double sinks, while still making a statement of its own. If you want to infuse character into your space, explore our patterned tile for a design to fit your style.

7. Craven Haven’s Boys’ Bathroom

A dated jack-and-jill bathroom found new life as this fun and charming kids’ bathroom designed by Mackenzie from the popular Craven Haven blog. The simple black-and-white color scheme in the tile allows for more colorful accessories like the green vanity and red stools. The geometric pattern on the Cali Black and White floor tile is reminiscent of Southwestern patterns, which ties into the antler wall hanging and adds to the adventurous boyhood aesthetic. Remove the stools and replace the whimsical accessories with something a little more mature, and this is a room that would be just as suitable for teenagers as for little boys.

6. Nikki Chu’s Quietly Luxurious Bathroom

The mix of soft whites and creams creates a sense of stylish serenity in this beautiful bathroom designed by renowned designer, Nikki Chu. The Argile Matte handmade-look subway tile adds beautiful visual texture to the upper walls with its uneven surface and shade variation, while the Livingstone Melange marble-look tile on the lower wall and floor creates stunning movement through beige and grey veining. The effect is a gorgeous, stately bathroom that embodies quiet luxury–a style towards understated refinement that gained popularity in 2023 and shows no sign of dissipating as we go into 2024. To achieve this aesthetic in your space, shop our assortment of marble-look and handmade-look tiles.

5. I SPY DIY’s Bejeweled Bathroom

Blue was the color of the year for bathrooms (check out this post for 12 of Our Best Blue Bathrooms), and this bathroom designed by Jenni Yolo from the popular I SPY DIY blog made a big impression this year. The jewel-toned sapphire-blue handmade-look tile creates a vibrant, yet relaxing space. We love how she paired the Marrakesh Blue and Off White tile to create a checkerboard moment on the shower wall, adding just a touch of whimsy to this beautiful bathroom.

4. Angelia Guthrie’s Modern Condo Kitchen

By replacing dark cupboards with open shelving and a bright Calacata Evora marble backsplash, Angelia Guthrie turned her dated condo kitchen into a chic and modern culinary space. We love how the large-format tile creates a slab look (the appearance of one solid piece of stone), for an expansive and open space. Shop our assortment of large-format tiles to achieve this look in your space.

3. Nikki Chu’s Contemporary Classic Kitchen

Designer Nikki Chu took this kitchen from blah to brilliant. By adding some modern hardware, replacing the cupboards with shelves and hanging a statement piece pendant light, this kitchen is as chic as it is inviting. What we love most, though is the marble chevron wall tile. The natural color variation of the Meram Blanc Carrara with its grey and beige veining adds to the movement of the chevron shape, creating beautiful organic texture that perfectly complements the woven lamp shade and wooden shelves. Shop our full assortment of chevron tile to achieve this look in your home.

2. Faust Design Bulid’s Fun & Funky Kids’ Bathroom

This darling kids’ bathroom, designed by Faust Design Build, is a celebration of color and shape. The pairing of pink and blue makes this bathroom appropriate for either gender and will accommodate all sorts of bright-colored accessories. The natural lines of the Track Stack Navy Blue mosaic tile create a neat, orderliness while still being playful. View our full assortment of mosaic tile to find the perfect shape for your project.

1. I SPY DIY’s Super-Rejuvenating Spa Bathroom

In one of the most dramatic transformations of the year, I SPY DIY took this dull, utilitarian loft bathroom and re-envisioned it as a luxurious spa-like oasis complete with a soaking tub and wet room. The handmade-look Riad Grey tile creates an artisanal aesthetic of the room with their natural variations in color and surface texture, while the Royal White Hex marble floor tiles create traction and adds to the opulence of the room. By keeping the color palette in white and grey, Jenni Yolo of I SPY DIY was able to create a beautiful tableau on which the gold fixtures and pops of red accents really shine.
