The Aura Bronze tile is installed in an alternating vertical and horizontal stack, adding a sense of movement and individuality to the space. Discover how to incorporate this worldly and eclectic style in your space with our guide to boho chic design.

2. Add Brightness With a Glossy Beige

A glossy finish reflects light, creating a brighter space for kitchen prep. The warm beige tones of the handmade-look Tribeca Oatmeal tile provide a soft, neutral base for the kitchen, making the backsplash appear almost white when the light hits it. Shop our wide range of beige tiles to recreate this serene look.

3. Reflect Your Personality With a Glass Tile

Glass tile features a naturally reflective surface, so even a dark color will add brightness to your prep area. This stunning kitchen, designed by @eleven11tileanddesign, features the Glass Burlap Amalfi tile. The warm brown tile and white grout lines create an inverse effect of the golden-veined white marble countertops, resulting in a rich and cohesive design.

4. Make Waves With a Unique Shape

Unique shapes offer a wealth of design possibilities that go beyond typical straight edges. Here, the Wave Old Cream tile creates a pillowy effect on this backsplash, adding playful movement and a softer edge. Shop our wide assortment of uniquely shaped tile for more interesting profiles.

7. Add Elegance With a Diamond Shape

The charming silhouette of the Legno Wheaton tile draws the eye up this kitchen wall. The white chevron pieces outlining the brown diamond-shaped tiles add a sense of movement. Shop our vast selection of diamond-shaped tile for an on-point design for your space.

8. Create Old-World Vibes With an Encaustic Tile

Encaustic tiles are decorative cement tiles with a history in classical design. The pattern is inlaid into the tile, so it will remain even as the tiles age. This kitchen, designed by Georgia Pepperberry, showcases the Lira Negro Encaustic tile. The brown, black and white tile perfectly complements the white cabinets and wood-and-black range hood.

9. Choose Travertine for a Natural Look

A type limestone formed in mineral springs, travertine tile boasts rich color variation, with shades from black to silver. The Volcano Brushed Amalfi tile shown here, with its mix of chocolatey browns, beiges and greys, demonstrates the colorful range of this natural stone. Shop our wide selection of travertine tile to find the shade that fits your style.

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.

Marble-Look Tile: Tresana White Polished

One of our most popular categories, marble-look tile combines the luxurious beauty of natural stone with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain and ceramic tiles. This year, warm-toned marble looks–like the Tresana White tile with its subtle brown veining–were among your favorites.

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. This sleek, chic subway tile is versatile enough to complement a range of design styles, like this bathroom, designed by Jessica Bigham, which pays homage to 1930s Hollywood. 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.

Mosaic Tile: Hex Matte White with Black Flower

The retro-inspired Hex Matte with Black Flower tile was your favorite mosaic of the year, and we can see why! This funky, versatile tile pairs with so many styles and colors, offering a wealth of design possibilities–whether for an all-black-and-white space (like this graphic shower) or as a backsplash in a kitschy kitchen.

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.

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. Finish your tile design with our wide selection of trim tile, available in a variety of styles and materials.

The post Year In Review: Top 10 Bathrooms of 2024 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

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.

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.

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)!

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

1. Elevate Your Design With a Glass-Marble Mix

Tile that combines two or more materials will bring complexity and visual texture to your space. Here, the Divisa Storm tile elegantly blends marble and glass for a striking design. The marble veining, along with the chevron pattern, infuse the space with a sense of movement that complements the woodgrain detail of the shelf.  

2. Cast a Romantic Glow

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.  

3. Infuse Your Space With Beachy Blue

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.”  

4. Incorporate a Stunning Picture Frame

A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

5. Create Movement With a Chevron Pattern

A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.  

6. Add Serene Neutrals

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.

7. Choose a Mirrored Tile to Reflect Your Personality

Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash. Designed by Timber Trails, the kitchen features this standout tile only on the top half of the backsplash to avoid overwhelming the space—we think they struck the perfect balance.

8. Add Hex-cellent Dimension

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.

The post 8 Stunning Glass Tile Ideas for Kitchen Backsplashes appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

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″.  

4. Mix Marble and Metal

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

5. Get a Modern Farmhouse Look With a Basketweave Mosaic

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

6. Set a Mood With Grey Marble

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

7. Cast a “Hex”

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

8. Elevate Your Space With a Waterjet Mosaic

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

9. Create a Rustic Look With Tumbled Marble

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

10. Add Art Deco Charm

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

11. Create a Sense of Movement With Chevron

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

12. Add a Marble Tile “Picture Frame”

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

13. Marvel With Marble Subway Tile

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

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

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