]]>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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)!

]]>Tile that combines two or more materials will bring complexity and visual texture to your space. Here, the Divisa Storm tile elegantly blends marble and glass for a striking design. The marble veining, along with the chevron pattern, infuse the space with a sense of movement that complements the woodgrain detail of the shelf.
The Patina Gilded Mirror tile casts a golden hue in this luxurious kitchen, designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang. The gold mirrored tile features a beautiful coloration, creating a soft, romantic effect. If you love this chic, whimsical style, explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.
The brilliant Glass Sky Blue Amalfi tile fills this space with a soothing coastal tone. The charming pastel evokes the tranquility of a bright day at the beach, perfect for creating a cheerful design. For more ideas on how to bring seaside serenity into your space, check out this helpful guide to “coastal chic.”
A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.
A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.
The Santos Beach tile‘s blue, grey and beige tones convey a calm coastal landscape. The combination of warm and cool neutrals adds a tranquil, yet visually complex, backdrop to this contemporary kitchen.
Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash. Designed by Timber Trails, the kitchen features this standout tile only on the top half of the backsplash to avoid overwhelming the space—we think they struck the perfect balance.
The hexagon is a classic shape that’s experiencing a resurgence in the interior design world. Here, the Posh Brushed Silver mosaic tile creates a lustrous backsplash. If you love this timeless shape, shop our wide assortment of hexagon tile.

]]>Invigorate your space with a bright and cheery yellow. The vibrant Color Market Lima Da Persia tile fills this shower space designed by Effortless Style Interiors with a warm, sunny glow. We love how the yellow bricks extend into the window recess. If you’re all about this cheery shade, shop our full selection of yellow tile.
A more subdued hue, rich rustic orange will fill your space with a warm, relaxed feel. This wash station designed by River Stone Tile features the Star Oxide tile. The folk art-inspired star pattern and worn details of the tile complete the modern farmhouse look of this space. Discover ways you can use tile to achieve this aesthetic with our guide to modern farmhouse style.
Terracotta captures the warmth of the setting sun with its rusty, sun-soaked hue. This serene bathroom features a traditional Moroccan star and cross pattern floor. The burnt orange tile makes this space feel cozy and inviting. For more relaxed and rustic shades, shop our wide selection of orange tile.
Infuse your space with the softer tones that make up the edges of the sunset. The pretty pastels–think pinks, purples and softer yellows–will give your space a chic, understated feminine look. This bathroom features The Tile Shop-exclusive Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria Petal tile. We love how the soft color pairs with the hard brick look for a charming space that’s a little edgy. If you love this pretty hue, shop our wide range of pink tile.
This luscious orange-pink shade perfectly encapsulates the tranquility of an summer evening. The Imperial Blush Gloss tile creates a calming sensation in this shower designed by Yellow Brick Home. The small square mosaic and orangey coloring is giving this space charming retro vibes.
The soft pinkish-white tones of the authentically handmade Zellige Alabaster Gloss tile lends this space a gorgeously peaceful glow. Each Zellige tile is crafted, painted and glazed by hand giving them unique character. The subtle color shifts, from a greyish white to pink to a lush beige, create a wondrous neutral palette, like the one found in nature.
A lavender haze settles where the sun sets in the sky, and you can capture this greyish, purplish tint in your space with tile and paint. This gorgeous room designed by I SPY DIY features the Silver Hex tile. The silver-grey hue perfectly picks up the lavender tones of this pretty modern farmhouse bathroom.
Don’t forget about the blue skies that proceed the sunset. The brilliant blue hue of the Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile fills this bright and airy mudroom with good bright-day vibes. We love how the simple white, wood and wicker fixtures in the room bring out the blue in the tile. For more of this beautiful blue room designed by Timber Trails, check out A Step Inside: Timber Trails’ Varsity Blues.
Give your space a bright golden glow with the Patina Gilded Mirror by Kelli Fontana tile. This mirrored glass tile features a patina surface that reflects the light for a brilliant shine. This gold-tinted tile will capture the majesty of the setting sun no matter the time of day, and fill your home with a warm sparkling sheen. If you love this classic, bold and whimsical style, shop our exclusive Kelli Fontana Collection.

]]>Luxurious and unique, marble takes even a simple design to the next level. This beautiful backsplash designed by Timber Trails features the Firenze Calacatta Amalfi tile to accentuate this space. The use of the white with grey and taupe veined marble with the white cabinets elevates what could be a very basic kitchen design. Check out our 20 Creative Kitchen Backsplash Ideas to Pair With White Cabinets for more kitchen inspo.
If you’re using subway tile for a whole wall, you can create a distinct backsplash moment by mixing glossy and matte finishes. This serene bathroom features the Coco Canvas matte tile with a stripe of the Coco Canvas glossy tile that extends from behind the sink and into the shower. The use of multiple layout designs (vertical and horizontal stacks) creates extra interest, but if this change in direction is making your brain hurt, you can achieve a similar effect with just the use of glossy and matte. The light reflecting off the glossy tiles will create a natural distinction.
Like the neat stacks of subway tile but looking for a modern twist? This elongated hex tile gets its name from the fence posts it resembles. We love how this tile creates naturally fitting off-center stacks. The long Lanse Matte White Picket tile shown here creates length to this bright modern bathroom backsplash, but picket tile comes in a variety of sizes and colors. Shop our full selection of picket tile to find you style.
Everything is in its place in this chic drink station designed by Style Jam. The deep, rich color of the Imperial Kelly Green Bevel gloss tile installed in a neat horizontal stack is accentuated by the contrasting white grout. This tile is contributing a lot to this compact space, the horizontal pattern give this small space the illusion of width and the glossy finish reflects the light for added brightness.
Easy to clean with a reflective surface, glass subway tile is a great choice for a backsplash, particularly if you want to add some light under a counter or range hood. This elegant kitchen designed by Timber Trails features the Antique Mirror Bevel glass subway tile. The reflective surface lends light and glamour to this cooking space. Read more about the design decisions behind this charming house.
Every tile in our Zellige collection is formed, painted and glazed by hand, including the new petite subway tiles like the Zellige Dirty Blue Gloss tile shown here. The slight variations in size, surface texture and color create a backsplash with completely unique character. Shop our full assortment of Zellige tile, or if you like this look, but want a little more reliability in size and texture, shop handmade-look subway tiles.
Part of subway tile’s appeal is the ability to change the style completely depending on which layout you choose. The herringbone pattern is a classic layout that will give your space a sense of movement as it zigs and zags across your backsplash. Choose a long, skinny subway tile, like the Tribeca Gypsum White tile shown here, to add the illusion of length to your space. For more design ideas, check out this guide to 6 Classic Subway Tile Layouts.
Another favorite layout, the straight stack is neat, orderly and very modern. This chic bathroom features the Coco White glossy handmade-look tile. The subtle variations in size, surface texture and coloring add interest, while the vertical stacks create orderly, gridded lines lend a sense of harmony to this space. We love how this design uses a slightly darker grout with the white tiles to accentuate the tidy lines of this design.
If your kitchen backsplash extends behind your stove, you can use your layout design to create distinction between your spaces. This modern kitchen backsplash pairs a classic brick lay tile design with a herringbone design to highlight the cooking space. We love how the herringbone creates movement between the stovetop and range hood, but this layout could also work by mixing a vertical offset with a vertical straight stack or horizontal and vertical stack.
Classic and classy, white subway tile can make for surprising designs. Whether you choose an unexpected layout design, or stick to a basic brick lay, you can create an unexpected backsplash with your grout and accessories. A contrasting black or grey grout will add drama to your design, and you can add dishes or flowers to enliven your space. This subway tile backsplash designed by At Home With Ashley shows how you can use white subway tile as a reprieve from a more colorful space. You can even switch out your accessories with the seasons or your mood!
A dark subway tile with a white grout–or vice-versa–will add instant drama to your space. This sleek and chic modern kitchen uses the Noir Honed Amalfi subway tile with a crisp white grout. The white cabinets and counters keep this space from becoming too dark, but we love how this simple black and white color scheme adds character to this room. Shop our wide selection of pro-rated grout to achieve this look.
Beveled tile’s raised surface will give your space elegant dimension. Even a white beveled subway tile, like the Imperial Bianco Bevel tile used in this elegant kitchen designed by The Wray Design Co., adds a slight quirky element to your design. Shop the Imperial Bevel tiles in all their color ways to get this effect on your backsplash.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your layout. The alternating horizontal and vertical subway stacks used for this chic kitchen backsplash create a unique and unexpected design. The calming grey tones and reflective surface of the Coco Amber Grey Glossy tile adds brightness and interest to this kitchen. While this design accentuates the high wall, this backsplash idea would also add the illusion of height to a more confined space.
Ready to update your backsplash? Shop our wide assortment of subway tile to find the right style for you.

]]>The post Top 15 Bar Backsplash Ideas For 2024 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>A bar is a great place to showcase your personality. For this bar backsplash, HGTV star Alison Victoria used the Skyline Vintage Patina tile to create a distinct space that fits her bold personal aesthetic. If your style leans whimsical or quirky, browse our full selection of unique tile or patterned tile to find your personal style.
Stylish and easy to clean, glass tile is an excellent choice for a bar backsplash. Available in a wide array of colors and styles, glass tile will add a touch of shine to your space, perfect for a recessed bar or a corner bar that doesn’t get much lighting.
If you’re only tiling half the wall, consider using a scalloped tile to add interest to the edge of your tile. This beautiful gold and green bar uses Gem by Alison Victoria tile for a charming bar area. The rounded edges of the deep green marble soften the design, creating a look as classy as it is chic.
Want a bar, but don’t have any place to build one? Adding a shelf or two (or repurposing some existing shelves) is an easy way to create a drinks station that fits your existing layout. But just because you’re limited on space, doesn’t mean you need to limit your style, install a chic tile (like the Annie Selke Goldleaf Speckle tile shown here) behind your bar shelves and your personality will really shine through.
Add dimension to your wall with a 3-D or sculptural tile backsplash. Tile that literally pops from the wall like the Diamante Negro tile shown here will add interest through light and shadows, for a cool patterned effect that will change as the light shifts in your space.
If you have the space in your basement to install a full sit-down bar (or have an existing bar that needs a facelift), consider tiling the backsplash to match the bar itself. This fun and glamorous bar repeats the Doree Mosaic tile picture frame behind the bar on the back of the seating area. The effect is a stunning and cohesive space.
Add organic texture to your bar backsplash with beautiful natural stone. Travertine and slate tile come in a variety of shapes, textures and colors to fit your space, and since no two pieces of natural stone are alike, you are guaranteed a unique design. We love all the textures at play in the beautiful Harmony Silverleaf travertine mosaic tile shown here.
Create a fun, bold space that showcases your favorite color–or two or three. A checkerboard pattern will add a touch of whimsy to your space while a tricolored pattern like the one shown here using encaustic tiles, adds another layer to your bar backsplash.
Create a space that harkens back to The Prohibition Era with the elegant arches and bold graphic shapes of Art Deco-inspired tile. The gold, grey and white motif in the Lalique marble mosaic perfectly mimics the arches of this decorative bar area, adding to the softness of the space.
If you have the space and the plumbing, a sink will add convenience to your bar area, especially if your bar is far from the kitchen. A tile backsplash is essential for a wet bar, as it will protect against spills and splashes. If you’re looking for something simple that will match virtually any decor, like the Retro Perla tile shown here, shop our full assortment of subway tile.
Turn your bar area into a work of art with a beautiful patterned tile backsplash. Colorful, floral or geometric, patterned tile will protect your walls while still making a statement. We love how the Annie Selke Aylin Black tile makes a statement on this classy black and white bar.
Traditionally used on Roman terraces, Terrazzo tile is known for its distinct flecked pattern. The Terrazzo Bianco Macro tile shown here combines the easy maintenance of porcelain with the authentic look of real Terrazzo. The warm flecks of brown and tan in the tile work nicely with the hardwood features of this bar and add a fun and unique pattern.
This creamy white bar designed by Timber Trails is the epitome of elegance. The Riad White handmade-look tile features subtle shade and surface variation for a subtle sense of movement. The effect is an almost satiny wall. If your style is bright, fresh and clean, shop our full selection of white tile.
Choose a tile that adds depth to your bar with mirrored tile. We love the twist on the classic bar mirror that’s created with the Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here. The reflection is slightly blurred, capturing only the shapes and colors of the room, for an incredibly unique effect.
Authentically unique handmade Zellige tile, like the Zellige Alabaster Gloss tile shown here, are crafted and glazed by hand for a distinct look from tile to tile. The effect is a bar that embraces modern trends toward unique luxury while celebrating ancient techniques. For true one-of-a-kind character, shop our entire Zellige collection.

]]>The post Introducing The Kelli Fontana Collection appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>The designer behind Minnesota-based West Bay Homes brought her artfully designed tile collection to life with elegant fluted, mirrored patina and intricate floral designs.
The Inlay Proper by Kelli Fontana features a natural stone look with a bone-inlay-look floral design for an ornate, feminine elegance.
These tiles, available in Naples Beach (above), Florence Lace and Eden Ode (below), can be installed individually or together for artfully designed patterns.
The Florance Lace and Eden Ode are used here to create an elevated checkerboard pattern that is both bold and whimsical. Watch how the tiles beautifully transition from day to night with subtle shifts in tone.
The fluted Tommas Classico and Tommas Carrara by Kelli Fontana will enliven your space with natural dimension and shading. The Tommas Carrara features soft grey veining, while the Tommas Classico has a winter-white surface. A foundational element that will complement a variety of design styles, this stunning, marble-look tile is soft and poetic, while still maintaining a strong presence.
The Thomas Classico by Kelli Fontana fluted tile adds texture to this elegant and inviting dining room wall. The large-format tile requires fewer grout lines, making this wall feel tall and expansive.
The Patina Mirror tile by Kelli Fontana, available in Siren, Eclipse and Gilded, captures the light, transforming your space as the room dims and brightens. The patina finish gives these tiles an antique appearance, blurring the lines between old and new and creating a chic timelessness.
The Patina Gilded Mirror lends a touch of glitz and glamour to this kitchen backsplash. The reflective surface adds a sense of depth, which transforms the space as it transitions from day to night.
The patina tiles are strong enough to function alone, but they also make for a dazzling accent. This pantry uses the Patina Gilded Mirror tile to add shimmer to the design. The patina effect complements the glossy sheen of the Splendours Brown for a sleek, sophisticated space.
We hope you found inspiration to use the timeless pieces from the Kelli Fontana tile collection in your home or business.
We love seeing your spaces! Share your next project by tagging us @thetileshop on Instagram or uploading it directly to our Customer Room Gallery (you can find even more design inspo there, too)!

]]>The post Maximalism: More is More appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>White walls, minimal decor, subtle colors—you won’t find any of these in a maximalist space! Some people say that less is more, but maximalists believe the opposite. More color, more texture, and more boldness define this style. Simplistic, neutral design has reigned for years, and, inevitably, some people are ready for a change. Say hello to maximalism.
Contrary to what you might think, maximalism is more than just having a lot of stuff. Some of the hallmarks of maximalist design are:
The style is an updated twist on classically exuberant English interiors updated for the 21st century with bright colors, contemporary patterns and modern accents. The legendary club Annabel’s in London perfectly embodies this blend of classic Britishness and modern maximalism.
So, what do we love about maximalism? It allows you to express every side of your personality at once. If you’ve ever felt torn between styles or couldn’t define yours in one word, maximalism may be for you. (Indecisive friends, unite!) This design style allows you the freedom to fill your home with items that you love, instead of worrying about fitting them into a style box. Loving your decor is key—random items will not bring the same joy as a personalized, curated collection.
Enough talking about maximalism—let’s see some of our favorite looks! As far as maximalist designs go, this one is pretty minimal! (Stay with us.) The bold, patterned tile and dramatic color scheme definitely fit the style, yet the symmetry of the space and overall glam theme reign in it.
This bathroom takes boho-chic to the next level with a bright geometric tiled floor and lots of fabulous decor pieces. Black accents throughout the room (can we talk about that chandelier?!) bring cohesion to the space without dulling it down. This gorgeous transformation took place in just six weeks as part of the Fall 2019 One Room Challenge™.
We couldn’t just share one photo of the home that sparked the idea for this blog post! House Beautiful’s 2019 Kitchen of the Year was a maximalist dream come true with no explanation needed. Read our spotlight on Michelle Nussbaumer’s amazing design for more photos of the space.
This kitchen is a good reminder that each surface is an opportunity to create a work of art.
A much different approach to maximalism, this bathroom establishes a blue-grey color palette and sticks to it while varying the tone and playing with patterns.
This bright and colorful bathroom proves that maximalism doesn’t have to be dark and dramatic.
Back to the drama, an art-inspired tile is perfect for creating an accent wall that makes a statement.
Multiple patterns work hand in hand when they pull from the same warm color palette in this beautiful bathroom that was also featured in the One Room Challenge.
Maximalist spaces don’t need to hit every hallmark on our list. Here, an oversized, bold pattern is enough to stand out.
Another One Room Challenge contender was this glamorous gold-and-black laundry room. The opulence just draws you in (which is good when you’re trying to force yourself to do the laundry!)
Here’s another case of a stand-alone maximalist tile. The vivacious purple veining in this Milas Lilac marble tile collection and the mix of shapes deliver dynamic style.
Dip your toe into maximalism by just choosing one extra-bold feature.
Drama, patterns, metallic finishes and more—as they say with maximalism, more is more.
Feeling inspired to paint your grey walls fuchsia yet? Whatever your design goals are, we’re here to help you achieve them. Schedule a design consultation with an in-store tile expert to get started. And don’t forget—sometimes more is more!
