Tile trends 2023: designers pick top looks for the year ahead
Tile trends for 2023 show how this enduring design feature can continuously be reinvented to transform the look and feel of your home, from the bathroom to the kitchen and beyond.
Tiles are some of the most decorative and versatile surface finishes, and have been a staple within interiors for centuries, with an evolution of shapes, sizes, materials, colors and patterns (this list could go on and on). Beautiful as well as hardwearing and extremely durable, tiles are a great way to breathe stylish new life into the home, whether that is through kitchen tile ideas or bathroom tile ideas.
For 2023 tile trends, we have spoken with the experts as well as collected some of our favorite fresh looks. Whether you love a quintessentially Victorian floor tile, or the finish of an artisan glazed design, these exciting, upcoming trends cover an array of styles and finishes.
Tile trends for 2023
When picking tiles for your home, key aspects to consider include the tile material and finish, size, color, pattern, layout and, ultimately, the overall look and impact you want to achieve with the design.
From walls to floors, countertops and all manner of surfaces, tiles can be used to add beautiful texture, impactful color and artistic pattern to the home, as well as establish layers of strong protection.
With so many changing trends and styles to choose from, these transformative tile trends for 2023 can help you narrow down your selections and be in the know with very latest in tile design.
1. Textured tiles

You could say that with whatever tile you choose, the design will add texture and dimension to a room, however, recent tile trends show that more of us are opting for tiles with more irregular, shifting surfaces, rather than those that are smooth and sleek.
From more rustic, subtle textured styles, like the playful sherbet blue and white tiles shown above from Tileworks at Original Style, to spectacular 3D designs with raised detailing, grooves and shapes, these designs can establish an eye-catching sense of depth and movement in a room.
2. Checkerboard

We all know that checkerboard has taken the world of fashion and interiors by storm over the last few years, and whether you like it or not, this classic pattern is staying around for 2023.
Whether you opt for a more traditional black and white palette, or create a union of vibrant, modern colors, a checkerboard tile pattern can add an beautiful, graphic touch to a space.
'Checkerboard, once subsumed within traditional design, has now emerged as its very own trend, and evolved into one of the hottest surface and tile trends within bathrooms. We should also mention that stripes are just as popular, and for the ultimate combination, the two can be contrasted together,' says Barrie Cutchie, design director at BC Designs .
Even though checkerboard is one of the most popular styles of tile, there is so much variety in terms of color, size and material, so you really can establish an utterly unique checkerboard tile design in your home.

Chris Gulson-Brooke, founder of Maitland & Poate says, 'bold colors and patterns are set to continue to be popular and in demand for 2023. Homeowners are wanting to add their own personality and style to their homes, stepping away from the greys and subtle color combinations to add a more vibrant, inspired color palette.
The addition of a pattern, be it with a whole floor, complete wall, or simply an eye-catching tiled splashback, can fill a room with individual and unique flair – ideal when coordinated with other textures and furnishings for an overall inviting look.'
For centuries, tiles have been used to bring color, pattern and texture into the home, and we are only getting more adventurous in our chosen designs as time goes by. Tiles provide the perfect platform to create an impactful design statement in the home, just like a beautiful work of art.
4. Luxurious natural stone

From stunning onyx tiles, to granite, limestone and using marble in home design, these natural materials can establish a luxurious and dramatic look for tile ideas in the home, with these materials often a popular choice for bathroom ideas and for countertops.
We have seen a rising trend in spa bathrooms in 2022, and this style is set to continue into 2023, with a focus on luxurious materials, elegant design details and creating a space that feels like your very own wellness retreat. These materials are also great for creating a calming, indoor-outdoor feel and connection with the outside world, which is a key interior design trend for 2023.
Materials such as marble and onyx are ideal for spa-like, luxury bathrooms, creating a truly opulent feel. Of course, if you want the real thing, these tiles are not the cheapest, but there are a range stone-effect tiles out there to choose from, as shown by the stunning Jewel Onyx Pink Tile by Porcelain Superstore above, which is actually crafted from porcelain.
5. Timeless terracotta

An ancient, earthenware tile that has been used for thousands of years, terracotta will always be one of the most popular and enduring tile trends.
Hamish Smith, creative director at Ca’Pietra says, 'when it comes to choosing tiles, terracotta designs are certainly having their moment. From baked clay tones that warm up any room, to earthy texture with just the right balance between rugged and refined, it’s no wonder that terracotta is a forever trend.'
Smith goes on to say, 'the beauty of our Marlborough Terracotta (aside from its Siena-style coloring) is that it builds up a patina over time. In other words, the more you use it and the older it gets, the better and more characterful it will look. To add an inviting warmth to your space, lay these tiles from the kitchen through to hallway, cloakroom and dining room.'
6. Magical Moroccan

Known for its vibrant colors, intricate designs and mixture of textures, Moroccan style has become one of the most significant trends of the year, as shown by the worldwide success of North African handicraft products, such as Berber rugs, raffia baskets, metal lanterns and decorative Moroccan tiles.
The trend will keep going strong and is also a timeless style that won't date. Add some extra color and create a unique appearance, full of patterns and life, by using ceramic hydraulic tiles, which are long-lasting and extremely easy to install and keep clean. They are also suitable for most floors and tiling bathroom walls.
Using Moroccan tiles is a fool proof way to add a colorful and characterful touch to a room, either as a wall or floor covering. You can also create a focal point, choosing one element of the room, like the kitchen island, and cover it using patchwork prints.
Ca'Pietra's Hamish Smith explains, 'a decorative tile adds instant impact underfoot and it’s a fantastic way of refreshing or updating kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Opt for an encaustic tile that will age beautifully and create a lived-in look over time, porcelain tiles for ease of maintenance, or mosaic tiles underfoot to really bring the room to life.'
7. Colors that are at one with nature
(Image credit: Topps Tiles)
We are constantly inspired by the natural world in interior design, from material to texture and color, and 2023 will see a collection of palettes that are at one with nature, helping to create a grounding, calming and relaxed atmosphere in the home.
‘As life takes on a slower pace and the world around us pauses to breathe and reflect, more and more of us are gaining pleasure from recharging and relaxing at home. With this in mind, when it comes to tiles think lush greens, deep moss tones and the rich, rustic reds of autumnal leaves,' says Ca'Pietra's Hamish Smith.
'Green in all its many forms is ideal for interior projects, as it’s a calming, soothing palette that suits all spaces. It is inherently tranquil and connected to nature, and this is why choosing tiles from this color palette will have longevity.
If you're exploring green kitchen ideas or green bathroom ideas, instead of using paint, why not incorporate the color through beautiful tiles instead – or use both!
8. Art Deco exuberance

Decorative Art Deco fan shapes take the lead for 2023 glamour. Above, Fired Earth's High Society Glass Gatsby tiles are wonderful for small bathrooms that need help to feel bigger and brighter.
Art Deco tiles can make for a striking visual impact and decorative design feature. Think strong colors such as black, white and gold and unique geometric shapes, such as scallops and hexagons.
9. The bigger the better

'Large format tiles offer a striking appearance that’s guaranteed to turn heads when people enter a room,' says Topps Tiles ' Harriet Goodacre. 'Their considerable size provides a spacious feel thanks to minimal grout lines. They also bring a decadence that is associated with the most premium of hotels.'
There’s plenty of variety in large format porcelain tiles as they are available in multiple effects, such as iconic types of marble, mixing this trend with the natural effect one.
Harriet adds, 'colored marble can provide greater variety, such as emerald greens or an indulgent black. Our Stadia Storm tile offers a regal style with its rich charcoal hue and high gloss finish.'
A top tile trend for 2023, large format tiles are ideal if you want to make a small bathroom or small kitchen feel bigger.
10. Tiles that blend indoors and out

Creating a seamless feel from indoors to outdoors has become a trend in itself, making it easier to move between the spaces and enhancing our connection with nature and the great outdoors.
As time goes on, so does the development of tile technology, and many of us are choosing to use the same tile material for both inside and outside for a smooth, united finish – as Hamish Smith from Ca'Pietra confirms below.
‘Use large format tiles to create a seamless blend between indoors and out. We are seeing that many homeowners are really looking to create one large living space, which is why choosing a large format tile really helps a home feel “as one”.

Tile floors are on trend for 2023 in kitchens and bathrooms, though you are more likely than ever to see layering over it with rugs to soften them and to add an extra layer of interest.

Any time you're craving a little design refresh, there are a myriad of ways to do so. One of the most popular options is implementing tile. Tile surpasses the two-dimensional constraints of paint and infuses texture and color into a room. It also has the impressive ability to make daunting hues and finishes visually digestible. For example, cobalt blue paint might be a bit too bold for coating the bathroom walls, but in tile form, it's vivid and fresh. Or the wild pattern that feels too busy to incorporate as curtains will look fun and adventurous when installed around a fireplace.
Understandably, designers and homeowners can't get enough of these small slabs, and in 2022, there is no shortage of fresh tile ideas. Vibrant colors are popping up along with original configurations and new areas to spread out the mortar and speckle with ceramic.

Tile Trends to Look Out For
Tile is headed in two (nearly polar opposite) directions this year. One interpretation is a matchy-matchy finish where the color, shape, and texture reflects the room around it, and the other features tile as an accent to be mixed and matched.
Leah Alexander, designer and founder of interior design firm Beauty Is Abundant, has picked up on a variety of fresh looks that have been coming into play this year. "Trends I'm seeing are matching wallpaper and nearby furniture upholstery and/or drapery," she says, and tile is no different. The couch, console, and even pillows are all fair game when it comes to finding objects to match tile to.

In a more general design sense, Alexander has noticed the continuation of wallpaper moving from the wall to the ceiling in bathrooms among other spaces. This is now being reflected in tile, too. Rather than stopping at just the floor, the same tile is being coaxed up the wall for an extended pop of color and texture.

Rooms Receiving Tile Treatments
The areas getting extra tile attention this year may be predictable, but the way in which tile is interpreted is unique. Bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms are common spaces for tile installation but it's not your average subway tile backsplash or floor tile making an appearance this year.
"Areas that are getting tile or other kinds of thoughtful treatment, like the ever-popular fluted or channeled wood treatment, include the back or the entire body of the kitchen island and the backs of bookshelves," says Alexander.
"So pretty."
In essence, the cabinet-laden island that might be feeling a little stale would no doubt look transformed with tile coating its exterior. The interior of bookshelves, tiles that stray from the shower to the floor, and ceiling tiles can all be expected, too. Bolder colors are also inserting themselves in rooms, meaning a basic tile layout will look bolder and more trendy thanks to the hue alone.

Popular Tile Colors This Year
Is white tile making you yawn? The jewel-toned colors rolling out in 2022 are the answer to overdone neutrals and bright whites. "Teal, mustard yellow, and even rust-colored tiles have been catching my eye already this year," notes Alexander. It doesn't take much for these tones to make an impact either. A burst of teal around the fireplace or a smattering of golden rectangles on the floor instantaneously pump vibrancy into a room.
And, even if white or neutral tile is your thing, there are endless ways to revamp it that still feel on par with trends but create a refresh that feels true to your personal style.
Add a statement color on one wall—perhaps a trendy terracotta shade or an edgy black—or play with the shapes and finishes (pearlescent backsplash, anyone?).

More Tile Trends
Save for terrazzo or mosaic, tile is typically a uniform art with neatly stacked shapes, straight lines, and the same shape used throughout. This year will encourage a little more playfulness. Rather than sticking with solely subway tile on a backsplash or relying only on hexagonal tiles for a bathroom floor, exploring different mixes of tile shapes and styles will be explored throughout 2022.
There are plenty of exciting ways to do this. In a bathroom, try adhering hexagons to the back wall of a shower and install the tile on a neighboring wall in a chevron pattern. Another fresh choice could include rectangular slates on the floor and circular penny tiles around a sink.
Refreshing laundry rooms or kitchens can be fun as well. An earthy terracotta tile (try square or hexagonal) will look lovely on the floor but will pop even more with an emerald or turquoise tile singing above it on the walls.
For a subtler take, a paler rust or a complementary shade of orange on the backsplash still adds a visual change but feels super cohesive and matches the floor well.
Others trends are a continuation of what was popular last year and earlier or a defiant tweak to the traditional. Alexander personally likes a particular kitchen trend that misplaces where you'd originally expect to see tile. "I’m still very much enjoying the trend of wrapping the countertop material up onto the backsplash, effectively getting rid of tile in the kitchen," she says. In cases like this, tile can be moved to the aforementioned island. This also opens up an opportunity to save that tile budget for experimenting in other rooms and nooks that would do well with a splash of color and geometric shape.

Trends and anti-trends of ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware in 2021
Are you dreaming of the perfect kitchen or have you already found that very sofa in the living room? But in order for all this to sparkle with colors, you need to think about a suitable finish, on which the atmosphere of the interior depends no less than on the situation.
Designers of the TESSER tile, porcelain tile and sanitary ware showroom network will share the trends and anti-trends of ceramic tiles in 2021, which will not make you blush and help you create that very dream apartment.

and rest.
When in doubt about which porcelain stoneware to choose for your kitchen floor, use the large format. A one-piece glossy marbled floor looks impressive not only in dining areas, but also in living rooms.

2. Porcelain stoneware floors and walls
Perhaps the most popular trend today is porcelain stoneware not only on the floor or backsplash in the kitchen, but also on the walls. The practice of using this material in wall decoration, such as bedrooms, is quite young, but will very soon become mainstream for all home spaces. This is a convenient and cost effective solution. It looks interesting to finish in the style of a color block, for example, a dark floor - light walls.
Design provided by TESSER
3. Zoning with decoration
Another trend for open-plan apartments is the visual division of space through decoration. Usually this role is played by a sofa, but the floor can also echo it.
Design provided by TESSER
You can divide one room into two by using materials of different formats, colors or ornaments. The mix of coatings is used today in a variety of interiors.
For example, in the “cold” zone we use porcelain stoneware under a stone, and in the “warm” zone, where a rug, sofa and remote control are under a tree. Looks very stylish!
4. Board decoration
A popular solution that came to us from country and Provence will help to emphasize a favorite piece of furniture in the interior - wall decoration, for example, behind a sofa with porcelain stoneware or wood-like tiles. The choice in favor of an imitation board, rather than natural wood, is dictated by economy, ease of maintenance and, of course, environmental friendliness - another trend of the season.
Design provided by TESSER
5. Mix of brands and lines
Usually we come to the salon and, in an attempt to do everything quickly and beautifully, we select materials from one collection. This is a reliable way, but not always interesting. Today, designers are trying to select materials from completely different collections and brand lines.
A variety of textures and surfaces, styles and handwriting of the manufacturer - this is a special chic.
If you like Laparet porcelain stoneware and Kerama Marazzi tiles, we will make a project according to your wishes. Not being afraid to mix different collections is one of the tasks of a designer.
Design project provided by TESSER
6. Roll call of parts
Another trend of 2021 is the thoughtfulness of the interior to the smallest detail and the “talk” of these little things with each other. Today, designers pay a lot of attention to the visual dialogue of colors, textures and patterns, when the color of the floor finish is repeated in the backsplash, or the tile pattern on the wall can be seen in the hallway. It is important not to overdo it, and then style and beauty will be with us.

1. Simple colors
When choosing materials for finishing a room, take the time to look for a beautiful shade.
Each color has hundreds of variations, including both boring and very trendy tones. And if glossy pastels and local use of bright colors are a trend, then simple color schemes, for example, basic pink, beige or brown, will not surprise anyone.

3. Decorativeness
The abundance of decorative elements in decor today distracts from the function and beauty of the room itself. Choose a more restrained laconic finish, do not overload the interior with ruffles, borders and other decor.
