As we step into 2025, tiles are taking centre stage in home design, with bold colours, nostalgic patterns, and earthy textures redefining interiors. Whether you’re planning a renovation or just dreaming of your next upgrade, these five tile trends are set to inspire stylish and timeless spaces.
Here’s what’s trending with tiles this year:
One shade, wall to wall and floor to ceiling
Colour Drenching
Forget feature walls, colour drenching is about full commitment. This trend takes a single, bold hue and extends it across tiles, walls, cabinetry, and even ceilings. In tiled spaces like bathrooms, laundries, or kitchens, this creates a dramatic, cohesive look that feels both immersive and luxurious.
Deep greens, cobalt blues, and rich burgundies are leading the way, bringing warmth and personality to spaces that once played it safe. Pair matte-finish tiles with matching grout for an ultra-modern feel or opt for glossy textures for added dimension.
Classic, playful and making a major comeback
Checker Pattern
The checkerboard pattern is back and it’s bolder than ever. Once reserved for vintage floors or retro diners, it’s now being reimagined with modern colour palettes, oversized formats, and unexpected materials.
Think blush pink and terracotta, forest green and cream, or even natural stone pairings for a more elevated twist. The checker pattern adds instant character and movement to floors and splashbacks creating a nostalgic yet fresh aesthetic.
Warm, earthy andeffortlessly timeless
Terracotta
2025 is embracing the charm of terracotta in a big way. These tiles offer natural warmth and rustic texture, making them perfect for both modern and traditional homes. Whether glazed or raw, terracotta brings a grounded, Mediterranean vibe to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Designers are using terracotta tiles in unexpected ways—from bathroom walls to statement kitchen floors—bringing in handcrafted appeal and a calming, earthy palette that never goes out of style.
Linear elegance meets playful design
Stripes
Stripes are striking a pose in tile design this year. From vertical pinstripes to bold, wide bands, this trend introduces rhythm and height to a space. Use striped tiles to elongate walls or add architectural interest to a room without the need for extra decoration.
This look works beautifully in monochrome tones for a refined and contemporary edge, or in contrasting colours to create drama. Striped tiling is especially effective in showers, entryways, or as kitchen splashbacks.
Natural beauty with timeless sophistication
Travertine
Travertine is making a strong return in 2025, prized for its soft, organic appearance and neutral tones. Whether used in its natural matte finish or polished to a smooth shine, this stone brings effortless elegance to any space.
Its subtle veining and warm colour palette make it a perfect match for minimalist interiors, spa-like bathrooms, or serene living areas. Travertine tiles can be laid in large-format slabs or in classic layouts like herringbone to highlight their texture and depth.
