Four tile flooring trends


If you’re looking to refresh your home, you’ll hear this battle cry: “Design from the floor up.” So consider floor tile when you want to transform a room.

Ceramics look as good in the hallway as in the kitchen or bath.

Tumbling = touch-worthy

Textures are big, big, big this year! Polished finishes are now a thing of the past, with more matte and low sheen tiles on the design pages.

You’ll now be hearing the word “tumbled” a lot in the tile store. Tumbled tiles look worn, aged, and sometimes rustic, with muted edges and a slightly chalky or dusty-looking appearance.

The result is depth and definition. Textured tiles also enhance safety, providing a rough surface that increases grip.

Wood-look tiles

This has been a trend for a while, and it’s not going anywhere soon. Wood looks combine beauty and practicality.

Modern technology like Inkjet allows manufacturers to create intricate patterns and colors. As a result, you’ll see raised knots, grains, textures, and color variations.

This floor tile is ideal for wet spaces like the bath or for anyone who wants an affordable, durable alternative to hardwood.

Big, bold, bright and jewel-toned

We’re talking about eye-popping hues like teal, mustard yellow, and even rust colors. Are you a die-hard neutral palette person?

You can always go with a white field tile and add colorful accents. But, again, you’ll see plenty of options in the tile shop.

Marble look tiles

Right now, marble floors in the bathroom are trending. However, marble can be prone to scratching, and it’s expensive, so a marble look is a great alternative.
