There’s a reason why tiles are one of the most popular surfacing materials. They’re durable, outdoor-friendly and have minimal maintenance needs. With each year and every technological innovation, the list of benefits grows. If you’re considering pursuing an interior renovation, it’s a good idea to update yourself on the latest tile trends.
1. Sustainable Precious & Gemstone-Style Tiles
A lot of contemporary bathroom designs aim to create a luxurious spa-like feel, which only some stone can give. However, there are several environmental concerns about the use of rare marbles. For one thing, increased mining depletes finite mineral resources. There’s also the issue of the wider environmental impact of mining.
Fortunately, recent technological advancements have made it possible for manufacturers to make tiles that mimic the look and feel of precious stones, reducing the impact on natural resources. The newest luxury tile options on the market include tiles mimicking onyx, agate and even Akoya pearls.
2. Refined Natural Wood Tiles
Manufacturers have been making tile that resembles natural wood for quite some time now. Natural wood will never go out of style, however, using natural wood has one major drawback: it needs a lot of upkeep. That’s why designers favor low-maintenance materials that can mimic natural wood. The use of wood floor alternatives is expected to increase as technological advancements pave the way for more realistic and increasingly detailed alternatives to wood.
3. Natural Designs
Nature-inspired designs, in general, have been gaining popularity. Wood elements are usually paired with a bit of greenery, which can come in the form of houseplants or nature-inspired designs. Popular nature-inspired designs for tiles include vines, fronds, flowers and other flora.

4. Mixed Geometric Tile Patterns
What if you want a design that’s less conventional? You might want to try looking at non-geometric tile patterns. Trapezoid, rhombus and diamond-shaped tiles create unique patterns that are sure to catch the attention of any guest in your home.
5. Mixed Color Palettes
Aside from classic blue, Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year, calming colors such as blush pink, sage green and dusty orange are expected to surge in popularity this year. Classic blue itself was chosen on the basis of its status as a calming, neutral hue that can be used in just about every space.
