What tile flooring trends will we see next year?


The floor is an essential part of your room decor. It not only takes up the most square footage in a room but is also one of the first things a person will see. In short, the floor is your expression of your style.

Are you thinking of tile flooring? Expect to see a lot of stone wood and concrete mimics, nature-inspired botanical, metallics, large formats, geographics, art deco designs, and fun, colorful patterns like puzzles with repeat arrangements in the tile shop.

Porcelain floor tile

While this has been around for ages, it’s also rising in popularity, piggybacking on other trends; porcelain’s fewer seams and more continuous look make it ideal for stone, concrete, and wood looks. The tile is terrific also for heavily foot trafficked rooms, is entirely waterproof whether or not it’s glazed, and comes in an almost unlimited number of colors and designs that can be made to look like anything, including fabric and leather.

Wood-look tiles: not going anywhere soon

Wood and wood looks have been trending a while, and that’s expected to last about 15-20 years. A wood-look tile combines the beauty of wood with the functionality of tile. Advanced technology offers intricate patterns with raised grains, many colors and can be cut into any size planks.

Hexagons, large graphics, and unique shapes

For the upcoming year, it will be all about the hexagon in large format tiles and in distinctive shapes that will add style to living spaces, dining rooms, and hallways, as well as kitchens and baths.

These flooring trends are gaining popularity with various sizes, textures, and colors that complement the decor.
