Tiles can make or break a room in your home. They can give your rooms a touch of character, but they are also prone to damage, dirt, and fading over time. Fortunately and in most cases, they are relatively easy to replace, making them easy to follow up with tile trends.

And with the number of charming floor tile ideas available, you’re sure to find one that suits your sensibilities and pairs well with the rest of the interior decor — whether it’s the bathroom, the kitchen, or any other living space in your home.

1. Portuguese Tilework

Pricey but worth it, your bathroom floor will look effortlessly fancy and majestic thanks to Portuguese tilework. Also common among North African or Moroccan design styles, these cultural gems have, over time and history, proven to be among the most eye-pleasing tiles.

Mix them with a subtly-tinted creamy wall set design and you’ll have yourself a modern, trendy, and harmonious interior. The advantages are clear, but the disadvantages may sometimes include price and fragility. Flooring aside, Portuguese tiles are also a hit with kitchen backsplash trends

2. Chevron Pattern

The simple yet complex design aesthetics of Chevron outweigh the considerations of having to choose between porcelain, vinyl, stone, or ceramic because it’s beautiful regardless. Perfect for dining and living rooms, these interior tile applications have proven to work with just about any and all home decor styles.

Chevron does not threaten to overtake and overwhelm the interior of any room you choose to use them in. The only thing to consider is the amount of time, energy, and effort it’ll take, regardless of whether you’ll be installing the Chevron tiles yourself or hiring a professional to do it. Either way, it’s a great decision, and an understandably popular one, too.

Chevron decor can match with almost any interior.

3. Penrose Tiles

For those seeking complexity within simplicity, Penrose might just be the right fit for you. Named after Roger Penrose, a British mathematician from the University of Oxford, this diagram delineates space-time relationships. Penrose tiles are considered to be the “infinite tiling of a plane.”

The tiles can go great in bright rooms, where overshadowing the interior design of a room is not a concern. Great examples of dark Penrose tiling opportunities would be in a kitchen with thick-white sets and pantries, a neutral-colored bathroom, and more. Regardless, Penrose tiles are among the tile trends to embrace in 2023.

Hexagons have come up as a recent tile trend to consider, but it’s still considered to be among the most unique ways to dress your hallways and corridors. With versatility at their peak, hexagon tiles can be made from any material or color, with variations of both bold or light colors, depending on where you want them used.

Among its advantages is how many cost-effective alternatives you can find today, from ceramic tiles to stone, to even durable plastic. Consider matching your backsplash with the hexagon floor tiles in your bathroom for a bold and modern twist of interior inception.

Hexagon tiles are incredibly versatile and can be used anywhere, from kitchens to bathrooms and beyond.

5. Terrazzo Tiles

The secret of terrazzo tiles lies in their design flexibility. They range in all colors and offer a plethora of designs and styles. Known for their smoothness, terrazzo tiles were previously common in countries surrounding the Mediterranean, mostly from the famous 18th-century Venetian sidewalks of Italy, also known as the pavimento alla Veneziana. The tiles pose as cement beds for colorful, tiny pebbles and stones.

Terrazzos, once exclusive to European and North African tourist spots, can now be seen in up-and-coming homes and penthouses. This beautiful flooring option gives way to innovation, such as larger tiles and slabs, as well as tinier tiles with even smaller colorful stones. Terrazzo tiles can be used for flooring, walling, and backsplashes. Pick the spot where it would suit your house, and get creative.

6. Glossy Shine

Marble and ceramic flooring have both been around for centuries if not millennia. Yet, creativity has pushed them forward time and time again, reinventing and innovating timeless flooring concepts into homes and spaces. The shiny tile trend is not yet over.

Advantages include the look of high-end luxury but might require occasional maintenance for the shiniest look. Maintenance is a little tricky when it comes to marble flooring, as it requires constant polishing and could serve as an unwanted slippery ice skating rink — sans-ice. Nonetheless, that’s not always the case, and glossy shine tiles have become a trendy norm in many households.

7. Geometric Pattern

There’s just something about geometric floor tiles that always catches the eye. They never fail to provide a touch of sophistication and modernity to a living space. What’s even better is that you can adapt them to correspond with just about any style — be it clean minimalism or something more maximalist such as Boho.

For instance, you can go for larger tiles in bold hues to make a statement, or you can choose a more subtle way to add visual interest. Both options are possible with geometric pattern tiles.
