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

]]>
If the past year was all about discovering your personal style and designing home interiors that bring you joy, the coming year will see further individualization with more nuanced expressions of the styles we’ve come to love. Some design staples of 2024–such as artisanal, sustainable and organic materials–will continue to be a focus through 2025 and beyond. Read on for 15 new trends you’ll want to make your own for years to come.

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.

Featuring: Zellige Azul Gloss.

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.

Order $3 samples.

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.

Tile for Every Style: Boho Chic https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/tile-for-every-style-boho-chic/ https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/tile-for-every-style-boho-chic/#respond Fri, 01 Nov 2024 14:17:14 +0000 https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/?p=10385 The term “bohemian,” when referring to an aesthetic rather than the citizens of the Bohemia region in Eastern Europe, was...

The post Tile for Every Style: Boho Chic appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

]]>
The term “bohemian,” when referring to an aesthetic rather than the citizens of the Bohemia region in Eastern Europe, was first coined in France in the 19th century. The term refered to the artistic, avant-garde lifestyle of the semi-nomadic free spirits who frequented Parisian cafes and nightclubs, writing poetry and donning eclectic apparel.

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.

This chic dinning space features ornate black and white patterned tiles arranged in a checkerboard.
Featuring: Inlay Proper by Kelli Fontana in Eden Ode and Florence Lace.

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.

This kitchen features a brown handmade-look subway tile backsplash and Ikat patterned floor tile.

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.

This shower features a fluted wood-look tile wall and blue handmade-look tile.
Featuring: Violin Decor and Cool Blue.

Two of our favorite hues–green and blue–are becoming increasingly popular in interior design due to their ability to boost serotonin and create connection to the natural world. From pale neutrals to brilliant jewel tones, here are 10 unique tile ideas to inspire you to incorporate blue and green into your kitchen backsplashes and walls.

1. Add Charm With “English Cottage” Patterns

The delicate florals and whimsical shapes of our exclusive Laura Ashley collection tiles embody the cozy charm of “English cottage” style. Here, the Wexbord tiles in Midnight and Fresh Green combine historic prints from the iconic British design company with natural hues. The results are spaces that are both bright and fun, yet as soothing as a warm cup of tea.

2. Add Softness With Curved Tile

Make waves in your kitchen with the Wave Blue Reef tile. The curved edges add softness to your design, and the tile can be installed in a variety of layouts for a personalized look. The offset pattern of this kitchen backsplash creates gentle “pillowy” lines that give this space a sense of movement.

3. Embrace Authenticity With Handcrafted Tile

Zellige tile is popular for its authentic artisanal qualities. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, each tile is completely unique, creating natural tonal variations on your kitchen wall or backsplash. Our Zellige tiles come in a range of sizes, shapes and colors, including Azul, Turquoise, Shamrock and Dirty Blue (shown here in a petite subway).

4. Incorporate An Ornate Pattern

Gorgeous cream and weathered green come together to create this lovely lace-like pattern from Morris & Co. Inspired by iconic British designer William Morris’s historic wallpaper patterns, the Morris & Co. Pure Net Linen tile creates a soft and sophisticated space. Shop our exclusive Morris & Co. tiles for more historical designs and charming colors.

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

You needn’t saturate your entire kitchen in blues and greens if that’s not your aesthetic. A touch of color adds visual texture to your space. 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

9. Make Your Space Shine With Jewel Tones

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. We love how this vintage-look tile coordinates with the eclectic elements of this kitchen; the leafy wallpaper and dark wood range hood contribute to the unique character of the space.

Handcrafted using centuries-old techniques (click here to learn all about the process), each authentic Zellige tile varies slightly in tone and surface texture, giving it its perfectly imperfect appeal. Read on for eight stunning Zellige and Zellige-inspired spaces that are sure to spark ideas for your next project, whether it’s a shower, kitchen, bath or fireplace.

1. Zellige Tile Shower Ideas

As evidenced by this gorgeous space designed by @forgegrove, Zellige tiles are perfect for creating understated elegance in your shower. The uneven surfaces of the Zellige White gloss tile add a tactile element to this space, and the sleek brass fixtures help elevate even more. The authentic materials and minimalistic look of this space give it an air of “quiet luxury.”

2. Go Neutral With Light Grey Tiles

The current trend toward mixing warm and cool neutral tones together provides timeless appeal. With its natural variations in coloration, the Zellige Light Grey gloss tile–shown here in this lush bathroom designed by Arias Home–fluctuates between cool and warm grey tones. The effect is a decidedly contemporary look using ancient techniques.

3. Zellige Tile Kitchen Backsplash Ideas

Perfect for a kitchen or bathroom backsplash, petite 2″ x 6″ subway tiles, shown here in the Zellige Dirty Blue gloss, are a new take on a classic design. The smaller format allows for more grout lines as well as more tiles per square foot, resulting in a beautifully undulating surface as the color and surface texture fluctuate from tile to tile. Shop this tile in all four vibrant colorways: Azul, Turquoise, Dirty Blue and Shamrock.

Featuring: Zellige Dirty Blue.

4. Use Square Tiles for a Neat and Orderly Design

This retro-favorite shape is making a comeback, and the handmade square tile–like the Zellige White gloss used in this chic kitchen designed by Fox Homes–demonstrates how this classic design can be made modern. Though the color scheme is monochromatic, there is a lot of visual texture in this kitchen backsplash. The glossy finish reflects light to highlight the subtle variations in surface texture from one tile to the next, and the wide grout joints accentuate the tiles’ handcrafted edges.

This bright and charming kitchen features white Zellige tile backsplash and open white shelves.
Featuring: Zellige White Gloss. Design by Fox Homes.

5. Use Handmade-Look Tiles for a Cost-Effective Alternative

If Zellige tiles aren’t in your budget, or if you want a slightly more uniform appearance, handmade-look tile, like the Riad White tile shown here, are a charming and cost-effective alternative. Mimicking the handcrafted look, these tiles feature slight variations in tone and surface texture and are available in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Shop our extensive assortment of handmade-look tiles to find the perfect match for your space.

6. Create a Handcrafted Hearth

A fireplace is a natural focal point; make it a standout with handcrafted Zellige tiles. This fireplace surround, designed by @daryakaras, features a charming checkerboard of Zellige in Alabaster and White gloss. The undulating tones add warmth and movement to this Craftsman living room.

7. Zellige Tile Bathroom Ideas

Another popular Zellige tile design is the Chabone Star and Cross tiles (shown here in Charcoal). By pairing Star matte tiles with Cross glossy tiles (or vice versa) you can create a subtle tile design that fluctuates with the play of light across the room. Traditionally used for floors, these tiles look stunning when paired with a subway or square Zellige wall tile (like the Zellige Alabaster gloss tile shown here).

8. Get Creative With a Star and Cross Checkerboard

The checkerboard rules aren’t written in black and white. This luxurious shower uses the Kasbah tile in alternating Terracotta Cross and Star Bone for a twist on traditional Moroccan design. The orange and white handmade-look tiles are complemented by the rust veining in the Pisa Oro wall tile, giving this space a cohesive and visually rich design. A similar look can be achieved using the Zellige Chabone Cross Charcoal and Star Bone tiles.

Inspired to add handcrafted charm to your space? Shop our wide assortment of Zellige and handmade-look tiles to find the perfect design. Or discover more design ideas on our Instagram and in our Customer Room Gallery where you’ll see our tile in real customers’ spaces.

Available in a variety of colors and finishes, penny tiles pack a lot of punch for their size. These small, round tiles come on a mesh for easy installation, but can be broken apart to create a personalized pattern, allowing for endless design possibilities. Read on for chic and unique penny tile bathroom floor ideas, wall and backsplash ideas, and shop our wide selection penny round tiles to find the tile to match your style.

1. Create a Border

A tiled border will make your space look intentionally styled, and penny tiles–small and easy to mix and match–lend themselves to this design element. This floor created by Amanda Franzel Johnson uses black and white tiles for a thick and skinny striped border. The effect is a classy and classic aesthetic that will complement a variety of design styles.

2. Add Traction on Your Shower Floor

Penny tile’s small format makes it especially useful on a shower floor. The many grout joints will create traction, helping to keep you from slipping. The white with grey veining in the Penny Round Carrara Snow White floor tile in this chic modern shower matches the bold white and grey marble-look subway tile used on the walls for a cohesive, coordinated design.

3. Niche Appeal

Form meets function with a stylish shower niche like this one designed by Jaimie Nelson. The Penny Round Matte Black tile adds visual texture to this simple black and white shower. The Origami AC tile’s 3D design creates a unique contrast to the small penny round tile for a rich space that uses shadow and light to create interest.

4. Coordinate with a Patterned Tile

There’s no reason you can’t mix your floor tile. Coordinate a penny round shower floor tile with a square patterned or solid colored tile for design rich in visual texture. This shower to bathroom transition designed by Zig & Co. pairs the Penny Round Sky Blue tile with the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight tile for two charming floors that complement each other perfectly.

5. Create a Statement Wall

Make a statement with a charming penny round (or the slightly larger quarter round like the Quarter Round Emerald mosaic tile shown here). We love how this bright modern bathroom adds interest with the glossy green tiles. The small format makes the grout even more important. Shop our selection of pro-grade grouts to ensure you have quality materials.

6. Create a Focal Point

A tiled stripe will create a nice focal point to your shower design. The Penny Round Thunderstorm tile features gorgeous dark blue, green and taupe tones for an earthy look that gives this space a sense of movement, like a waterfall cutting through the Bulevar White subway tile wall.

7. Add a Chic Backsplash

The small format of mosaic tile will create a beautifully intricate details like this chic sink backsplash designed by Demarais Interiors. The Penny Round Cloudy tile features blue and grey tones that adds interest to this modern bathroom. We love how the small pieces of the tile form just a thin stripe of backsplash, for an understated but highly designed moment. Shop our wide selection of backsplash tile to find the perfect style to complement your bathroom decor.

8. Show Your Stripes

Penny rounds offer a wealth of design possibilities from the elegant to the playful and everything in between, like this chic and fun shower tile design from One Cottage Way. The Penny Round Milk tile and Penny Round Gloss White tile are installed in alternating stripes for a subtle shade variance adding understated interest to this gorgeous neutral space.

If you can’t decide on your own motif, we have premade black, white and grey designs available in the Penny Round Matte Barga tile and the Penny Round Matte Lucca tile.

As our Zellige collection is expanding, we’re taking a moment to explain the unique qualities of these authentically handcrafted tiles, and how you can use them to enhance your tile design. Read on to learn about the history and making of these handmade Moroccan tiles and shop our four new colorways: Azul, Dirty Blue, Shamrock and Turquoise.

Featuring: Zellige Azul Gloss, Zellige Dirty Blue Gloss, Zellige Shamrock Gloss and Zellige Turquoise Gloss.

What are Zellige Tiles?

Carefully crafted by skilled artisans in Morocco, every piece in the Zellige collection embodies true organic beauty with striking variations in color and surface texture. Adhering to traditional processes of hand-molding, hand-cutting and hand-glazing, each tile showcases one-of-a-kind character.

History of Zellige Tiles

Thought to be influenced by Byzantine mosaics, handcrafted Zellige tiles originated in North Africa in the tenth century. The process of molding, hand chiseling and glazing the tiles has changed little in the last seven centuries.

How Zellige Tiles Are Made

The key to making Zellige tiles is high-quality clay. All of our authentic Zellige tiles are made using clay from the northeastern Moroccan city of Fez. The clay is mixed with water and sent through a filtering machine to remove any impurities. Newly cleaned, the clay is moved to pools for three days for water to filter through and then left out to dry for another three days.

Once it is ready, the clay is placed in brick-shaped molds for three to six days resulting in rock-clay bricks that are passed through rollers to thin and smooth them. The clay bricks are then cut with molds to achieve the final shape. Only then is the clay fired in the kiln for 12 hours at 900 degrees celsius. After the clay has been fired, it is hand chiseled by a skilled artisan to achieve an angled edge for easier installation. They are then hand-painted and glazed and placed in holding racks to dry.

This bright and charming kitchen features white Zellige tile backsplash and open white shelves.

Designing with Zellige Tiles

Zellige tiles are ceramic and can be used on walls, floors and in wet areas. The hand-chiseling and hand-glazing process will result in tiles that are uneven and vary in surface color and surface texture. Embrace these imperfections! It is the tile’s one-of-a-kind quality that makes Zellige tile authentically luxurious.

Our Zellige collection tiles are available in a variety of shapes, including: square, petite subway, mosaic and cross and star. The bathroom below displays the variation in tone among a single colorway (Alabaster) and how glossy and matte Star and Cross tiles can be installed together for added interest.

Ready to embrace these perfectly imperfect tiles? Shop our Zellige Collection to find tile to fit your style. For even more inspiration and information, set up a free design consultation to get advice from our tile experts.

Arguably the most important bathroom in the house, the primary bath is likely the room where you go to start and end your day. Create a space that invigorates your morning and relaxes you in the evening with these primary bathroom tile ideas for 2024. For even more inspiration, check out our Bathroom Tile Ideas or shop our vast selection of bathroom tile.

1. Marble-Look Tiles

If you love the look of marble, but not the maintenance, durable, water-proof and easy-to-clean marble-look porcelain tiles are your friend. Available in a variety of looks that mimic real marble (and even in colorful veining that can’t be found in nature, like the Marradi Calacatta Emerald and the Splendor Oceania), these tiles will infuse your bathroom with luxury. This bathroom, designed by Construction 2 Style, incorporates both the large-format Lincoln White Polished tile and the mosaic-look Marble Star tile.

2. Primary Bathroom Walk-In Shower Ideas

If you have the space, a walk-in shower can add comfort to your primary bathroom and set you up for an aging-in-place home. The added grout lines between the 2″ Claros Silver Hex floor tiles in this bathroom, designed by Exell, create traction, while the large-format Atlanta White wall tiles make this space feel more expansive.

3. Penny Round Stripes

This fun and funky bathroom designed by Ocotillo House & Home uses penny-round tile to create unexpected diagonal stripes. We love how this bathroom embraces simple geometric shapes from the circle mirror to the off-set square handles on the vanity. The effect of the primary color (plus black-and-white) color scheme and basic shapes create a deceptively simple design.

4. Architectural Accent Wall

Architectural elements like exposed brick or stone can add great visual texture to your space, but if your home doesn’t include those features, you can add your own with architectural tile. The flagstaff tile used in this bathroom designed by Smitten Design & Interiors creates a stunning accent wall that adds an extra dimension to this space.

7. Primary Bathroom Shower Ideas

Tile provides endless possibilities for personalizing even a small shower. Create a picture frame or focal point using a favorite mosaic or patterned tile like the runner of the Trois Bandes diamond-shaped pattern shown here. And don’t forget about finishings! Trim and thresholds will give your shower a polished, designed look.

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.

8. Custom Patterns

For this modern colonial bathroom, the husband and wife team behind Chris Loves Julia needed a tile to match the unique space. The black-and-white cross-patterned tile floor is created using hexagon tile in a custom design. We love how the Hampton Carrara Hex marble tile pops against the Hex Matte Black porcelain tile. Make sure to read more about how they created this custom design.

The subtle design on the tile gives this backsplash great visual texture that complements the black metal mirror frames and candleholder sconces. If you love this textile-inspired look, shop our exclusive Annie Selke collection.

10. Cool Blues

The color of the sea and sky, blue is a new neutral that despite its musical reputation, can brighten your mood. This brilliant blue accent wall uses the Cool Blue handmade-look tile, which features variations in color tone and a glossy surface for a tile that shines. It this is your hue, shop our full assortment of blue tile.

11. Wood-Look Floor Tile

Real wood is prone to water damage and can trap bacteria–not the most suitable material for a bathroom–but wood-look porcelain or luxury vinyl tile (like the Cyrus Plus Akadia tile shown here) will give the appearance of real wood without the headache.

12. Picture Frame

Highlight a favorite mosaic or patterned tile in a picture frame. Using layered trim, you can create a decorative focal point in your bathroom or shower that will add a highly designed elegance to your space. This is also a great way to incorporate a loved tile that might be overwhelming in the entire space or add visual texture with an intricate mosaic like the Firenze Calcatta Hex tile shown here.

The rust orange and charcoal shapes of the Artisan Tiare tile give this space an air of both orderliness and fun. The white walls and ceiling allow this pattern to be the star and the simple brown, white and red accessories blend into the color scheme, making the greenery to stand out.

You don’t need to live in a downtown loft to utilize contemporary industrial style.

Don’t spend all your money creating your ideal bathroom just to hang a shower caddy over your faucet. Decorative and functional, a shower niche is a stylish way to store your soaps and shampoos. Use this space to showcase a favorite mosaic or patterned tile and frame it with trim to add extra appeal.

Modern trends of sustainability, wellness and personalized luxury aren’t likely to go out of style any time soon. Whether you’re constructing the primary bath of your dreams or renoing your powder room, these sleek and chic modern bathroom design ideas are sure to spark inspiration for your next project. Shop our full selection of bathroom tile to find your personal style.

1. Modern Bathroom Floor Tile Ideas

Checkerboards are a modern design win! But we’re thinking beyond black and white for a floor that uses natural stone to create the classic style. This bathroom designed by Timber Trails features the Bucak Light Walnut travertine tile and the Arctic White marble tile to create a chic and unique floor.

2. Dark Industrial Look

This bathroom designed by West Bay Homes is a chic take on modern industrial design. The Softcement Graphite cement-look porcelain floor and wall tile give this bathroom a cool, contemporary feel, while the black marble-look shower tile provides an extra sense of drama. The plant and the nature print on the wall add some softness to the space.

3. All-Over Marble Tile

Personalization is key to luxury. If your space fills you with joy and a sense of well-being, then it will feel luxurious to you (and ultimately, that’s all that matters). For this lavish bathroom, designer Nikki Chu chose to go all out with Ashford Carrara. This marble collection includes everything from large-format tiles to mosaics and trims, making it possible to create a highly designed and cohesive space.

4. Blush Bricks

The Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria Petal is as chic as it is pretty. The pink is light enough to be neutral while lending a gentle feminine hue to this elegant bathroom. The brick-look tile gives this space the charm of a city loft but with an extra air of refinement.

5. Sleek & Chic Marble Look

The luxury of marble is combined with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain tile for a sustainable and elegant design. Shades of deep blue and grey create a dramatic contrast to the winter white background of the Alvarado matte tile. Man-made porcelain and ceramic marble-look tiles can feature colors not found in nature, but with the realistic look of marble veining, they create a striking modern design.

The color of the sky and sea, blue can brighten your mood like no other hue. The emphasis on wellness in modern design is about choosing colors and materials that connect with the natural world for a serotonin boost to get you through the day. Check out 12 of Our Best Blue Bathroom Tile Designs and shop our full selection of blue tile for more ideas on how to incorporate this brilliant hue in your design.

7. Authentic Handmade Zellige

Wood-look tiles connect you to nature and increase feelings of wellness. With their added shading and texture, fluted wood-look tiles will create a space with lots of visual interest that will nonetheless relax your mind. We love how this ceramic tile captures the essence of an outdoor retreat.

9. Vintage-Made-Modern Hexagon

Trends are cyclical, meaning colors and styles that were in vogue in the twentieth century are making a resurgence. Vintage hexagon tiles are starting to appear in modern designs like this chic white and gold bathroom designed by Alison Victoria. Notice how the subtle veining in the marble hexagons adds a sense of movement to the floor.

10. Soft Wavy Edges

Curved edges will add softness to your tile design. Popsicle, scalloped and penny rounds are all excellent choices for creating a gentle edge, but we love the ultra-modern Wave tiles (shown here in Old Cream). The tiles can be installed in a variety of ways for a personalized design that’s sure to make a splash!

11. Modern Bathroom Shower Tile Ideas

Make a statement in your shower with a modern mosaic or patterned tile. The Mondrian Mosaic tile, inspired by the abstract art of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, mixes marble and travertine for a space that’s full of beauty and movement. The effect is sleek and modern, creating a focal point in the shower.

12. Good-Vibe Greens

Like blue, green is associated with the outdoors. Infuse the serotonin-inducing hue into your bathroom design for a modern style that focuses on wellness and the natural world. This chic bathroom designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang features the Sawyer Emerald picket tile, complemented by the mint green bathroom walls for a lush and inviting look. For more wellness- and outdoor-focused ideas, check out our guide to “biophilic design.”

13. Picket Tile

A twist on the classic subway, picket tile is a modern trend with a lot of staying power. The neat, orderly lines and the characteristic pointed edge give this tile a chic and unique look that’s compatible with a multitude of styles. We love how the Lanse Matte Black Picket is installed diagonally and paired with modern fixtures for a look that’s at once elegant and edgy.

14. Cool and Contemporary Limestone

Authentically unique natural stone embodies everything we love about modern style. This limestone shower is bright and clean and contemporary while still feeling classic. The subtle veining in the stone creates a sense of movement to this space, while the shower niches add functionality and design.

15. Unique Subway Patterns

Rethink your subway tile design for an ultra-modern, personalized look. Mix up your vertical and horizontal layout for an unexpected design that will add interest to your walls. This blocked vertical and horizontal stack design is a contemporary and fun way to showcase subway tile.
