8 Floor Tile Trends Designers Are Loving in 2025

2025 is shaping up to be the Year of the Tile Floor. With statement-making designs being reserved for the floor of so many projects, we haven’t ever been this excited about tile underfoot – so we’re sharing the biggest trends we’re seeing right now to inspire your next project.

Tile doesn’t lend itself to trendiness, so these design trends are ones that have timeless appeal and will be enjoyed for years to come. That said, let’s count down the top 8 floor tile trends 2025.

8. Custom Mosaics

Mosaic tile floors are having a major moment. Although they’ve had a place in the design world for centuries, we couldn’t be more excited to see this trend ramping up again. From austerely modern to intricate, vintage, geometric and beyond, mosaic tiles fit beautifully into any design style – and they’re created to be customized.

At Fireclay, we make and sheet our mosaic tile in-house – our team can turn any image or vision into a custom mosaic. We’ll create a custom mosaic map with piece counts per your project’s dimensions, sheet and label the tiles, and ship it off with detailed instructions to ensure your vision is installed exactly as you planned. Get this process started here.

Mosaics are an ideal material for floors in wet areas, like bathrooms, showers, and pools, because the increased grout lines equate to more traction underfoot. For more slip resistance in residential or commercial applications, opt for our matte glazes which all have a DCOF value above .42.

7. Color, Color, Color

Playful design is still trending, and underfoot is a fun way to add an element of the unexpected to any space. Consider a more saturated shade for your floor tile in a rich glaze like our Vintage Leather to keep this trend on the sophisticated side. The oversized ceramic tiles used in the midcentury home below allow the color to be the focal point of the entryway.

Alternatively, use a combination of colors to make a space entirely its own. Designer Rae Rockwell used a custom colorway of Mustard Seed, Mesa, and Ivory on our handpainted Harvest Tile in her oh-so-inviting sunroom; the result is a space that exudes beautifully bold design from the ground up.

6. Vintage-Inspired Artisanal Styles

Including pieces and finishes with a story creates a narrative in a space, and handcrafted tile is a perfect way to tell it. Choosing tile that reflects the history of a home or building adds character and a touch of nostalgia. For example, the traditional bathroom below used neutral brick in a herringbone pattern to create a sophisticated and timeless foundation.

Classic tile design like a herringbone pattern is a beautiful way to embrace this trend, and another is with specialty tile shapes. From hexagons to triangles and Star & Cross, specialty shapes add an unforgettable element to any room.

5. Carrying Floor Tile Up the Walls

On the list of bathroom floor tile trends, this is one that’s quickly rising to the top. There’s no more impactful way to make a statement than by color drenching the bathroom and carrying your chosen floor tile from the floor up to the ceiling, fully immersing you in its beautiful hues.

If you dare to go bolder, kick this trend up a notch with a pattern like checkerboard. The contrasting tiles cladding the floor and walls create a truly showstopping experience, as the bathroom by Working Holiday Studio below illustrates.

4. Textured Finishes

Tactile is in. Materials with texture add depth and visual interest to any room, particularly the heart of the home. Our Glazed Thin Brick is an ideal choice for this kitchen floor tile trend, adding a storied look to residential floors with its perfectly imperfect finish.

While textured floors are common in more casual applications, they can easily transition into high-end spaces when done right. Take the midcentury modern home below: a deceptively simple brick floor exudes texture and color into the space, laying the groundwork for the crisp design throughout the home.

3. Geometric Patterns and Layouts

Geometric designs like herringbone or double herringbone, parquet, and checkerboard are timeless floor patterns that are experiencing a huge resurgence in popularity. These layouts introduce visual interest, making spaces feel more dynamic.

Consider adding a touch of whimsy by choosing to include more than two colors in a pattern. The sophisticated floor below combines three colors from our Natural Press Ceramic Tile product line in a unique basketweave; the result is pure luxe.

2. Warm & Earthy Tones

There’s been a noticeable shift from cooler tones to warmer tones in interiors, and that holds true for floor tile. Tiles in warm neutrals and rich browns are making a big comeback, adding a cozy and inviting feel to any space.

With brown being so en vogue, we’ve seen even more of a demand for our already-bestselling Antique glaze. The handcrafted color variation and rich terracotta shade make this glaze both perfectly on-trend and trend-proof at once.

1. Sustainable Materials

At the top of our list of 2025 tile floor trends is our forever number 1: sustainability. Tiles made from recycled content or sustainably sourced materials appeal to environmentally conscious designers and homeowners alike, aligning with the broader move toward sustainability in design.

With Fireclay, you can rest assured that your tile is as sustainably manufactured as possible – and that we're constantly innovating to improve our processes. 100% of our tile is made by us right here in the USA with locally sourced materials, and we have multiple third-party sustainability verifications to ensure that we’re doing things right, including B Corp and Climate Neutral certifications.
