10 Tile Trends for 2025: What’s In and What’s Out
Tiles are more than just a backdrop — they set the tone for your entire space. As we move into 2025, fresh ideas are redefining how we use colour, texture, and layout. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen, bathroom, or hallway, these tile trends will help you create a space that feels current and inspiring.
Let’s explore what’s in and what’s on the way out this year.
✅ What’s In for 2025
1️⃣ Earthy Neutrals
Warm, natural tones are replacing cold greys. Think soft clay, sand, caramel, and mushroom. These colours add warmth and feel grounded without being overpowering.
2️⃣ Textured & Tactile Finishes
Surfaces you can feel are taking centre stage — raked lines, hammered effects, and handmade looks that invite touch and create depth.
3️⃣ Kit Kat (Finger) Mosaic Tiles
These slim, vertical mosaics are popping up everywhere, perfect for splashbacks, shower walls, and feature niches.
4️⃣ Terrazzo Revival
Terrazzo continues its comeback, but in bolder, oversized chips and more colour contrast.
5️⃣ Oversized Slabs
Large-format tiles are getting even bigger, with fewer grout lines and seamless finishes that make small spaces feel expansive.
6️⃣ Coloured Grout
Contrasting grout in earthy reds, soft blues, or charcoal adds personality to otherwise simple tiles.
7️⃣ Matte & Satin Finishes
Gloss is giving way to understated matte and satin surfaces that look sophisticated and diffuse light beautifully.
8️⃣ Patterned Floor Tiles
Vintage-inspired geometrics and encaustic-look tiles are still strong, especially in hallways and bathrooms.
9️⃣ Green Everything
Sage, olive, and deep forest greens are emerging as the colours of choice for calming, nature-inspired spaces.
1️⃣0️⃣ Sustainable Materials
Recycled content and eco-friendly production methods are becoming deciding factors for homeowners.
❌ What’s Out for 2025
🚫 Plain White Gloss Metro Tiles
Still classic, but homeowners are moving towards warmer neutrals and more texture.
🚫 High-Gloss Grey Everything
Shiny grey tiles are being swapped for warmer, softer finishes.
🚫 Tiny Mosaic Borders
The thin border strip look feels dated — full walls or larger areas of mosaics are in.
🚫 Fake Wood Planks in Cool Tones
Warmer, more natural wood-look tiles are replacing greyed-out versions.
