You don’t need a large space to create a welcoming entryway. From elegant marble and marble looks to stylish patterns, these nine small-space tile ideas will help your home make a great first impression.

1. Small Entryway Tile Floor Ideas

Your front door likely sees a lot of traffic, which is why durable, easy-to-clean and low-maintenance porcelain tile is a great option for your foyer floor. Available in nearly any style you can imagine, porcelain tile can withstand whatever you and your family–human and furry–throw at it. This homey entryway features the Baltimore Gris Wood Look tile; its realistic woodgrain details make it an excellent choice for maintaining the natural character of your home. For more durable hardwood alternatives, shop our vast assortment of wood-look tile.

2. Make a Bold Statement Wall

Whether bold and graphic or soft and floral, a patterned tile showcases your personality while protecting your walls from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Nikki Chu Tangier Graphic tile is inspired by the celebrity designer’s popular wallpaper. Made of porcelain, this graphic patterned tile is as durable as it is chic–perfect for stylish households with pets or kids. Shop our wide assortment of patterned tile to find a design that’s uniquely you.

3. Embrace an Earthy Palette

Create a warm, welcoming atmosphere with soothing earth-toned neutrals. This serene entryway features the rich brown Organic Clay Taupe wall tile and the soft, brick-look Jerica Ceniza floor tile. The slightly textured tiles enhance the space’s organic appeal. Shop our collection of brown and beige tiles to achieve this nature-inspired look.

4. Choose Stone-Look for Durable Luxury

If you love the luxurious look of natural stone but want a low-maintenance material that can withstand heavy foot traffic, durable, easy-to-clean marble-look porcelain or ceramic is the perfect solution. This stylish entryway, designed by House of Shima, features the Keystone Grey tile. The striking grey and white veining creates a sense of movement that complements both the cool grey of the table and the warm brown wooden stairs and banister.

5. Small Entryway Foyer Tile Ideas

The entrance to your home doesn’t need to be grand to make an impact. Here, the Star tile creates visual separation between the foyer and the rest of the house. The folk art-inspired pattern is whimsical and homey, providing a moment of levity between the grand door and the hardwood floor that extends down the hall.

Like a well-tailored tuxedo, black-and-white tile exudes style and sophistication. This sleek and chic room, designed by Haus of Rowe, features the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal floor tile. The dainty, abstract florals add a touch of playfulness to this formal space. Shop black-and-white tile for more classy design options.

7. Choose Tumbled Marble for Rustic Luxury

Want a luxurious look with a bit of an edge? Tumbled marble, like the Meram Blanc Carrara tile shown here, is a high-end stone that has been tumbled with rocks to give it a uniquely rugged appearance. Shop marble tile for a wide assortment of tumbled finishes.

8. Win Your Design With Checkerboard

Checkerboard is a classic design that doesn’t require much space to create a big sensation. This elegant foyer features a checkerboard pattern made of Hampton Carrara and Black Marquina marble, but you can achieve this highly versatile look with any two complementary colored or patterned square tiles.

9. Create a Breezy Coastal Chic Design

The Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile sets the tone for this coastal-inspired space, designed by Timber Trails. Bright whites and wicker accents complete the beachy vibe, making this the perfect entryway to a stylish, laid-back home. For more ideas on bringing this chill aesthetic into your home, check out our guide to coastal chic design.

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.

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.

We hope these small space ideas have sparked some big ideas!

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.
Featuring: Gem by Alison Victoria, Marradi Calacatta Emerald and Alison Victoria Precious Metals Rose Pencil.

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.
Featuring: Volakas Honed, Volakas Honed Chevron, Volokas Honed Somerset and Volakas Honed Bullnose.

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.

Walk in shower in bathroom area tiled with a vein cut limestone of taupe and grey coloration in several sizes and mosaics alike.  Mosaics are mixed with a white marble. Shower seat is same material. Fixtures are a polished chrome.
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.

For our final Year In Review roundup, we’re looking back at the top-selling tiles of the year across 10 of our most popular categories. Read on to discover customer favorites, including floor, marble, subway and more!

Floor Tile: Quarry Grey Field

This no-nonsense tile is a favorite for commercial and outdoor spaces. Unlike our other man-made porcelain and ceramic tiles, this tile is unglazed, making it less likely to show chips and scratches. If you’re looking for a cost-effective and durable tile for a high-traffic mudroom or patio, the Quarry Grey Field tile (also available in Red) is an excellent choice. Shop our vast selection of floor tile to find the style to fit your space.

Subway Tile: Imperial Bianco Gloss

White subway tile remains an interior design staple, so it’s no surprise that the Imperial Bianco Gloss tile topped the category.

Shop our wide selection of subway tile to find styles to fit your space, whether contemporary, retro or anything in between.

Handmade-Look Tile: Tribeca Gypsum White

Perfectly imperfect handmade-look tile mimics the uneven surface and tonal variations found in authentic handmade tiles but at a fraction of the cost. The greater consistency from tile to tile also makes installation easier. With its warm white color and worn edges, the chic Tribeca Gypsum White tile–inspired by the trendy Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca–was your favorite artisanal-style tile of 2024.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring: Timber Ridge Cashmere

A favorite among DIYers, luxury vinyl flooring is available in a variety of easy-to-install wood-, stone- and cement-look planks and tiles. The Timber Ridge Cashmere features realistic woodgrain details characteristic of high-quality wood-look luxury vinyl flooring, making it a perfect option for great rooms, kitchens or mudrooms.

Slate: Adoni Black

Perfect for rustic outdoor installations or for adding natural texture to contemporary bathrooms or kitchens, slate remains one of our most popular stone tiles. The dark and expressive Adoni Black slate 8″ x 24″ was the fan-favorite slate tile. Shown here in the small Versailles pattern, this stone tile features ridge-like striations that create a distinct earthy texture. Shop our full assortment of slate tile to find organic looks for your space.

Travertine Tile: Legno

Travertine is a type of limestone formed by mineral springs. Available in a range of shades–from brown to beige to black–travertine tile features bold veining and color variations, creating rich, expressive designs. The top-selling Legno 12″ x 24″ tile, with its warm beige and white tones, showcases the softer side of this natural stone

Trim Tile: Hampton Carrara Polished Somerset

A Somerset (a Tile Shop-exclusive trim piece similar to a pencil trim, but with a rounded edge) provides a sleek transition between two surfaces–whether between two tiles or between a tile and a painted wall. The Tile Shop specially sources trim pieces, including Somersets, to coordinate with our most popular stone tile collections. The Hampton Carrara polished Somerset will complete your Hampton Carrara tile design or add a stylish accent to ceramic, porcelain or glass tile, as demonstrated in this beautiful bathroom.

7. Coastal Chic

Warm whites grace this sleek kitchen, also designed by Timber Trails. The undulating surface of the Riad White tile creates gentle waves that reflect light across the stove backsplash. The off-white and light beige tones evoke a bright, sandy beach, for an elegant coastal chic look.

6. Serene White

The slightly textured surface of the Argile Matte White tile gives this space an artisanal fee. The subtle greyish tones make this handmade-look tile a versatile choice–perfect for a warm or cool neutral color scheme.

10. Serene Handmade-Look Bathroom

Warm neutrals were the trend of the year, and the Coco Canvas tile was the most popular of them all. Three of the top bathrooms feature this charmingly detailed, handmade-look tile. This serene bathroom showcases the Coco Canvas matte tile in a horizontal stack, complemented by a double band of glossy tile in a vertical stack. The glossy finish captures the light, creating a stunning yet subtle effect.

9. Alison Victoria’s City-Chic Shower

HGTV star Alison Victoria’s pretty-yet-edgy shower features tile from her Tile Shop-exclusive collection. The subtle brick-like texture of the Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria Petal tile adds grit to the feminine pastel tone, while the vertical brick-lay pattern gives the space a contemporary feel. If you love her signature city-chic style, shop our newly expanded Alison Victoria collection.

8. Renovation Husbands’ Relaxing Shower

The white with beige detailing creates a pleasing tonal variation that perfectly complements the grey and beige veining in the Hampton Carrara tile. The result is a stunning yet understated mix of neutrals, creating a relaxing and rejuvenating space.

1. Soothing Neutrals

We saw a lot of love for neutral bathrooms this year, so it makes sense that the most-liked, most-shared and most-pinned bathroom features a stunning array of creams and whites. This serene shower showcases the Coco Canvas Glossy handmade-look tile, with a focal point of the Penny Round Gloss White tile. The pairing of subway tiles with penny rounds creates rich texture while maintaining tonal consistency, and the brass fixtures and trim add a touch of refinement to the space.

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.

Learn more about free design services.

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.

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

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.

This bright kitchen features a bold blue Zellige tile.
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.

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)!

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

One of our favorite design trends is mixing warm and cool neutrals to achieve an inviting and visually interesting space. This luxe kitchen backsplash, designed by @cjuncaj, features the expressively veined Firenze Calacatta tile. With its grey, beige, brown and cream tones, this tile creates balance while making a bold statement.

2. Add Elegance With a Leaf-Shaped Mosaic

Give your backsplash a beautiful sense of movement with a marble mosaic. This stunning space, designed by @ckdesignernicole, features the Elia Honed by Alison Victoria tile. The delicate leaf shapes accentuate the grey and taupe veining in the white marble tile, forming a playful and serene backsplash.

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.
Featuring: Calacata Evora. Design by Angelia Guthrie.

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. For more ideas on incorporating this design throughout your home, check out this comprehensive guide to achieving a modern farmhouse look.

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.
