Tile design trends that are taking over
From color-drenched rooms to handcrafted textures and statement-making patterns, the tile design trends of today are bold and expressive. Gone are the days of contemporary, simplistic white tiles. Color and personalization are in, with designers treating tile like an art form.
“As we know, the ‘color washing’ trend is very big right now, and this does not exclude tile,” says Marcelle Guilbeau of Marcelle Guilbeau Interior Design in Nashville. “When making a big splash with a dark and moody color, it is important to keep the color palette timeless and classic.”
Tile is taking center stage as a full-on design feature, with patterns, shapes and layouts feeling more like artwork than simple utility. Designers are also leaning into layering different materials, shapes and finishes within a single space to create depth and visual intrigue.
