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.

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.

Order samples.

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.

A classic layout that’s making a resurgence in interior design, this mixable, matchable tile pattern is a game-changer. Read on for nine inspiring checkerboard pairings. We think you’ll agree that they are a check-mate!

1. Brilliant Black and White

The quintessential checkerboard pairing, black and white is a high-contrast design that will create an air of classic drama. This bathroom vanity, designed by Timber Trails, features Hampton Carrara and Black Marquina marble for an elevated and elegant space.

3. Beautiful Blue and White

This room, designed by I SPY DIY, has us singing the praises of blue. The shower wall features the Marrakesh Blue and Off White tiles for a gorgeous and unexpected checkerboard moment. We love how the texture variations in the handmade-look tile create soft movement along this space.

4. Sophisticated Stone

Alternating white marble and beige travertine tiles give this stylish checkerboard an air of sophistication. The border of Bucak Light Walnut mosaic tile works to create definition and a refined edge.

5. Charming Cross and Star

Evoking traditional Moroccan design, star- and cross-shaped tiles creates extra interest when colors are mixed. Here the Kasbah Cross Terracotta is paired with the Kasbah Star Bone tile for a striking orange and white design. Get a similar look in black and white with the handmade Zellige Charcoal Chabone Cross and Zellige White Chabone Star tiles.

6. Stunning Silver and Black

Our Silver Mist and Noir limestone tiles make a powerful pair in this beautiful mudroom floor. The key to this design is the alignment of the veining on the stone tile, the Silver Mist tiles are intentionally installed so that the veining is all flowing the same direction at the diagonal.

Tile for Every Style: Transitional Design https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/tile-for-every-style-transitional-design/ https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/tile-for-every-style-transitional-design/#respond Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:00:05 +0000 https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/?p=9835 Love the elevated elegance of traditional design, and the sleek lines and modern shapes of contemporary design? “Transitional design” might...

Love the elevated elegance of traditional design, and the sleek lines and modern shapes of contemporary design? “Transitional design” might be for you! This universally pleasing design style melds the traditional design elements–think lots of layering and trim–with contemporary patterns, colors and silhouettes. Read on for six tips on how to incorporate tile to achieve this timeless style.

1. Mix and Match Styles & Eras

One way to achieve transitional design is to use a combination of elements from different design eras. This charming kitchen designed by Timber Trails features a balanced mix of styles. The Hampton Carrara Amalfi marble tile combines a classic material in a traditional format (subway tile first gained popularity in the Victorian age), while the sleek chrome lines of the range are decidedly contemporary. This blend of eras and styles is carried through to the chrome light fixtures with their more traditional shape and the combination of chrome hardware and white cabinets. Though this space melds materials and styles, the neutral monochromatic color scheme maintains the harmonious cohesion representative of transitional design.

This transitional kitchen features a beautiful white marble subway tile with grey veining.
Featuring: Hampton Carrara Amalfi.

2.Pair Classic Materials with Contemporary Shapes

Another way to blur the line between traditional and contemporary is to use classic materials in more up-to-date shapes. This bathroom features the Elia Polished by Alison Victoria tile, a classic Greek Volakas marble in a fashionable leaf shape. This theme of classic-made-modern is carried through with the contemporary silhouette of the gold light fixtures and the chic, unadorned double mirrors.

3. Create Unexpected Moments

What sets transitional design apart from its traditional roots is the embrace of “quirky” and unexpected elements–typically more characteristic of contemporary design. This stylish bathroom demonstrates how to add surprising, yet subtle, details. The Coco Canvas Matte tile installed in a horizontal straight stack throughout is interrupted by a band of vertically laid Coco Canvas Glossy tile. While the design still maintains its warm neutral tone, the glossy finish will catch the natural light, adding brightness to this design. The mirror with its minimal gold trim and rounded corners is another contemporary design element, while the layered trim on the shower niche is traditional, with a band of a gold metal adding a modern element. The effect is a visually complex, yet it achieves a soothing serenity.

This bright modern bathroom features beige handmade-look subway tile.
Featuring: Coco Canvas Matte, Coco Canvas Glossy, Alison Victoria Precious Metals Rose, Calacata Evora Barnes and Marradi Calacatta Gold.

4. Strategically Pair Patterns, Colors and Shapes

Pattern, color and shape are some of the most basic design elements, and mixing styles is often a process of intentionally pairing these elements so that they are united by a single commonality. Take this transitional kitchen backsplash: the Vintage Nero patterned tile features an ornate traditional design while the Picket Florencia Super Bianco tile with its angular shape is decidedly contemporary. The sage green range hood and cabinetry are modern touches, but traditional details are sprinkled in through the Firenze Carrara marble Somerset (used as a border to the patterned tile) and countertop with its Barnes edging. In keeping to three basic design elements and colors, this space maintains a harmonious pairing of classical and current styles.

This chic kitchen features a blue and white patterned tile picture frame backsplash and white picket tile wall.
Featuring: Picket Florencia Super Bianco, Firenze Carrara Somerset, Vintage Nero, Firenze Carrara Barnes and Firenze Carrara.

5. Layer Materials

Layering is a hallmark of traditional design that, when carried over to your transitional space, will add an air of refinement. The layered picture frame in this elegant bathroom features both Arctic White marble and Claros Silver travertine, giving this space great visual texture. This stone mixture is carried throughout the space with marble wall tile and travertine floor tile. The traditional tile design is paired with contemporary elements–the chic wall sconce and simple brass shower fixtures–for a highly sophisticated space.

Financing with citizens pay.

6. Use White Subway Tile for a Backsplash that Transcends Trends

With its origin in Victorian design, white subway tile is as timeless as it is versatile–perfect for a style that marries classic and contemporary. This chic kitchen designed by Timber Trails features our best-selling subway tile, Retro Lino, in a stylish backsplash. The cabinets in this space are the more traditional closed cabinetry in a demure navy shade, while the brass hardware are a simple contemporary style.

Ever since the first conch shell was centered on the wall shelf of a seaside cottage, humans have strived to achieve the perfect beach vibes. While the coastal style has evolved from shells and anchors to cool blues and rope and wooden decor, modern “coastal chic” probably encompasses more than you think. Everything from bright blues to cool greys to warm sandy beige will provide the base for this seaside aesthetic. Whether you’re looking for ideas to spruce up your California coast cabin or your landlocked Wyoming ranch, these ten tile ideas will give your space the laidback, naturally beachy look of your dreams.

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. Shop our full assortment of beige tile to find the perfect warm-toned backdrop for your space.

3. Bright Sea Tones

Coastal style doesn’t mean you’re limited to pastels. Celebrate the sea of hues that make up the oceans with brilliant turquoise and deep blue. This vibrant kitchen features the Zellige Turquoise Gloss tile. Formed, painted and glazed by hand, this artisanal tile features perfectly imperfect variations in surface texture and tone for a look as beautifully expressive as the sea. If this vivid shade embodies your coastal aesthetic, shop our wide selection of turquoise tile.

Featuring: Zellige Turquoise Gloss.

4. Sun-Kissed Patterns

The Summerland collection by Jeffrey Alan Marks perfectly encapsulates those easy, breezy, sun-soaked summer days. The faded linen pattern star pattern–available in Rincon, Toro and Miramar (shown here)–mimics the look of soft embroidered fabric. This bathroom demonstrates how to style this tile to achieve an earthy coastal vibe. 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.

This bathroom features a  13" x 13" Wicker Dove Grey matte porcelain tile features an intricate and unique geometric pattern in soft, dove-grey hues.
Featuring: Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey and Verona Gray.

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.

This shower features travertine and marble striped tile walls and marble hex floor.

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.

Cozy, comfy–and chic! Modern farmhouse decor is about creating a home that connects you to the tradition of living off the land (even if your home is in the middle of the city). Rustic and weathered looks paired with calming neutrals are central to modern farmhouse, but more and more we’re seeing people incorporate color and contemporary details to personalize this style.

From realistic wood-look tile to charming patterns–read on for nine ideas on how to use tile to achieve an authentic modern farmhouse aesthetic in every area of your home.

1. Wood-Looks Everywhere

Organic materials and textures are essential to the modern farmhouse style, but some areas–like bathrooms and mudrooms–might not be suitable for hardwood floors. A wood-look porcelain tile or luxury vinyl tile combines the rustic look of hardwood with superior durability. Waterproof and stain-resistant, these materials will keep your bathroom, mudroom or deck looking nice through the years and won’t trap bacteria, like real wood can.

This farmhouse-style bathroom features porcelain floor tiles in a realistic wood-look beige tone.

2. Make the Hearth the Focal Point

This living room with its white walls and wood accents is classic modern farmhouse style, but the real showstopper is the charming fireplace. The Look Avio tile is expertly incorporated for a pop of color that complements rather than detracts from the minimalist appeal of the space. With its emphasis on simplicity, you’ll want to use color sparingly, but the rich, natural blue-green tones in this tile perfectly enhance this living space.

3. Perfectly Imperfect Details

Texture is a great way to add interest to a style that’s primarily centered around neutral colors and natural accents. Handmade and handmade-look tiles are characterized by variations in surface and color, giving them a perfectly imperfect appearance that will add lots of visual texture to your space. This charming kitchen uses handmade-look tile for both the backsplash and on the kitchen island. Notice how the light plays off the surfaces of the tile, illuminating the variation between each piece.

4. Add Pattern

If you’re under the impression that pattern has no place in modern farmhouse decor, think again. Many patterned tiles fit this aesthetic. The Star floor tile used in this chic mudroom complements the blonde wood tones and black baskets. The pattern invokes classic Americana while still being neutral enough to incorporate into the modern farmhouse style.

5. Marble Mosaics

Elevate your modern farmhouse style with a simple, yet lush marble mosaic, like the Sampson Mosaic tile shown here. The open shelves along the backsplash are functional and chic. The beige and whites in the mosaic tile match the whites of the counters and the gold hardware, while the basketweave motif invokes a classic homespun look that is enhanced by the elegance of the marble.

6. Embrace Moody Neutrals

Although it’s characterized by bright whites and soft neutrals, modern farmhouse style has room for more moody colors. Deep grey, green and blue can all be used to add a dramatic flair to your design. The Silver Hex floor tile is the perfect choice for this elegant powder room designed by I SPY DIY. The shape of the mirror is repeated in the floor tiles and the grey is complemented by the purplish-grey of the wainscoting and trim. With the wooden accents and basin sink, this room exudes rustic charm.

7. Distressed Stone

One of the hallmarks of modern farmhouse design is embracing the architectural details of your home, but if you don’t live in an 1800s farmhouse, you can use tile to create truly rustic-looking stone features. The Claros Silver, a tumbled travertine subway tile, shown here looks like it’s authentic to the house. The tumbled finish gives this stone a distressed look that adds character to this bright and inviting bathroom designed by Coco & Jack.

8. Showcase Your Linens

Nothing embodies a summer day on the farm like crisp, clean linens hung out to dry. Bring that fresh linen feel into your home with the crisp-white lace patterned Morris & Co. Pure Net Linen tile. This ornate tile was inspired by 1800th-century wallpaper designs and is the perfect way to add a twist to your modern farmhouse style.

9. White Subway Tile

Sleek and versatile, white subway tile lends itself to a myriad of styles, making it a perfect choice if you feel you might want a room refresh before you’re ready to reno your entire space. The Royal Satin White marble subway tile backsplash embodies the organic texture and authentic materials that are a trademark of modern farmhouse style. The off-white cabinets and vintage picture frame complete the aesthetic. We can imagine sitting down for a good meal and a good chat in this homey kitchen!

Strengthen your connectivity to nature and enhance your mood with “biophilic design,” an interior design style that has been around for decades but has seen a resurgence in recent years. As the shift towards working from home has us spending more time in our houses, we’ve developed a collective craving for incorporating more natural elements into our spaces. Biophilic design’s emphasis on forms, colors and materials found in nature makes this more than just a passing fad. Here are six ways you can use tile to create a space that connects you to the natural world.

1. Go Green

No color signals the soothing, serotonin-inducing benefits of nature quite like green. Whether you choose a brilliant jewel tone like the Costa Emerald Mix tile shown here or a muted sage, green tile will bring life to your space and brighten your mood. Shop our full selection of green tile to find an invigorating hue.

The textured till massage your feet as you bathe and the earth tones channel the serenity of nature. For more shower ideas, check out 27 Stunning Shower Tile Ideas for 2024.

3. Use Natural Forms

Think beyond color and fill your space with natural shapes and textures. The Bardot Grey charming leaf-shaped mosaic tile will fill your space with the organic forms of nature. We love how this tile creates an elegant sense of movement in this space. For organic textures, the Tremezzo Branco tile has a nature-inspired relief that will jump off the wall.

4. Embrace Nature-Inspired Patterns

Create a natural scene with a lush nature-inspired pattern. Paired with a bright and fun mural, the Amizonia Emerald Tropic tile shown here creates a tropical tableau in this beautiful bathroom. Browse our full selection of patterned tile to find a botanical print that matches your style.

5. Use Natural Materials

Nothing will connect you to the natural world like natural materials. Real stone, like the Siberian Pearl marble tile shown here will fill your space with luxurious beauty and help connect you to the natural world. Marble, slate and travertine tile have unique characteristics and colors that capture the passage of time.

6. Get a “Weathered” Look

Capture the cyclical nature of the wild with a weathered or patina tile. The color variation in the Hackney Jade handmade-look tile mimics the natural fading that occurs with the changing of the seasons. Tile with patina like the Patina Wood Glass mosaic tile captures the beauty of natural wear.

The hot new trend in fashion and home decor is “quiet luxury,” a style focused on elevated essentials and understated elegance. Like minimalism, this design aesthetic is about paring down your space to showcase a few quality elements, but it’s also focused on creating a space that fills you with warmth, joy and calm. The emphasis on sustainability gives this trend staying power. Quiet luxury is ultimately about creating spaces that enhance your daily routine–embrace this ethos and you’ll have a space that you’ll love for many years to come. Here are eight ways you can use tile to complete your quiet luxury style.

1. Choose Warm Neutrals

Beige tile is back and taking over home decor with its calm, earthy vibes. The creamy, soft palette is soothing to the eye and the mind. This bathroom, created using Coco Canvas tile, is warm, bright and wonderfully tranquil. A single beige color palette is enhanced with the handmade-look details of the tile and the double row of vertical glossy tiles.

2. Select Materials that Enhance Your Environment

This trend is more than just aesthetics, investing in quality materials that enrich your daily life. Think of how pampered you would feel in this shower featuring Grey Pebble Mosaic tile? The soothing texture of the pebbles will give your feet a little message as you bathe, contributing to a lush and relaxing environment.

3. Add Small Luxurious Details

If you don’t have the time or the budget for a complete reno, you can find small places to add luxurious touches. A kitchen backsplash or shower niche, like the one shown here tiled in Elia Polished by Alison Victoria, is a great space to infuse a little luxury that will elevate the rest of your space.

4. Showcase Your Personality

Whereas minimalism is about pairing down to the essentials, quiet luxury is about choosing to highlight the pieces that are most meaningful to you. Don’t be afraid to pick tiles that add a little individualism to your home decor. This dining room, designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgensang, spotlights her signature Gilded Mirror tiles and Tommas Classico fluted wall tile. The effect is elegance that aligns with her personal style. If you love this bold, whimsical and classic aesthetic, explore the Kelli Fontana collection.

5. Create a Serene Space

Quiet luxury is about creating comfort and tranquility in your home. This bathroom designed by Nikki Chu uses calming neutrals and soft textures for a relaxed, yet luxurious space. Every element, from the wood frame mirror to the grey and taupe veined marble-look tile, complements each other. The effect is a space that feels at once centered and peaceful.

6. Invest in Quality Materials

No two pieces of stone will ever be alike, so when you choose real marble, travertine or limestone, you’re investing in truly unique tile. Quiet luxury is all about finding your individualism and showing and wearing quality products, and real stone, like the Calacatta Evora marble shown here, will add a sense of authentic luxury to your space.

7. Embrace Imperfect Authenticity

Each piece of Zellige tile is handcrafted and glazed, giving it its signature perfectly imperfect look. The Zellige Alabaster Gloss tile shown here epitomizes quiet luxury in its charming imperfections and soft beige coloring. It’s authentic, unique and soothing.

8. Choose Sustainability

Advanced technology in manmade tiles means you can achieve a gorgeous real-stone look with porcelain or ceramic tiles. Marble-look tiles are durable and easy to maintain, making them a highly sustainable option, especially in high-traffic areas.
