Tiles are one of the most versatile and popular materials used in interior design, coming in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, textures, colours, and finishes – making them perfect for adding a unique touch to any space.
Whether you’re tiling walls, floors or even outdoor spaces, here are 11 of the top tile trends for 2024 that we expect to see:
Bright, Bold Tile Colours
For those of you who love to make a statement, why not try out some bold bathroom tile trends this year? Bright and vibrant colours are fantastic for opening up a bathroom or living space and make for a real eye-catching feature.
Whether you go for large tiles or small mosaic tiles in strong blues, greens, yellows or pinks – embracing bold colours can transform your home!
And if you really want to go all-out, use the same tile colours on your wall and floor for a fully tiled bathroom that is super eye-catching. We’ve seen this trend growing recently and would love to talk if you’re thinking about a refresh like this in the coming year.
Earth Tone Tiles
One of our favourite 2024 tile trends is the rise of natural, earthy tones. Earthy tiles are perfect for creating a soothing and tranquil atmosphere. From sandy hues to warmer greys and browns, there’s an earth tone for everyone.
Neutral-coloured tiles can be a great base to build on, so why not add some extra artistry with unique shapes and decorative designs?
Try pairing them with earthy accessories for a complete look.Or, go for organic shapes like hexagons and pebbles to further enhance the nature-inspired look.

Geometric Tiles
We don’t see these geometric shapes going anywhere anytime soon! Geometric tiles are a great way to add some modernist style to any room in your home. From hexagons and triangles to diamonds, trapezoids and more – the possibilities are endless.
These shapes are perfect for creating interesting patterns on walls or floors – try mixing them with natural stone tiles for an extra touch of texture.
We think these are particularly great for homeowners who are looking to create a modernist look.

Textured Tiles
Texture is an important factor when it comes to tiling – it adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to any room.
For 2024, we’re predicting that textured tile trends are going to be all the rage. Whether you go for rough stone, glossy marble or something rustic like terracotta – there’s a texture to suit everyone.
Textured tiles can really work to emphasise the lines of a space, like vertical tiling in bathrooms. They’re perfect for creating stunning feature walls too!

Half-Panelled Wainscoting
Wainscoting is a great way to bring some style into your home. It’s incredibly versatile and can be used in many different ways, from fully-panelled walls to half-panelled wainscoting.
This year, we predict that half-panelled wainscoting will be making more of an appearance! It’s a great way to use tiles in unique and creative ways, as you can combine both the tile and panel look.
This trend works well when creating feature walls or adding an extra layer of visual interest to any room.
Traditional Black and White Bathroom Tiles
A classic combination that never goes out of style! Black and white tiles are perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any bathroom.
Try playing around with different sizes, shapes and designs – from bold stripes to intricate mosaics. It’s also great for creating feature walls – think herringbone or chevron patterns!

Big Wall Tiles
Big wall tiles are a great way to make any room feel bigger and brighter. They’re perfect for those who don’t want too many grout lines, as their larger size means less tiling is needed.
Choose from a range of large-format tiles in different colours, finishes and textures – they’re great for creating a modern and minimalistic look. (Plus, they’re easier to clean than smaller tiles.)
The bigger, the better! Go for bold with large-format tiles that cover more of the wall and make for a real eye-catching feature.
Colourful Checkerboard Tiles
Checkboard styling doesn’t just have to be black and white – be adventurous and try a range of bright and bold colours.
This look is perfect for those who want to add some fun to their space, as it’s great for creating an interesting and eye-catching pattern. Plus, the different shades will come together to form an incredible feature wall!

These tiles are great for creating feature walls in the living room or kitchen, as their warm tones will bring a touch of earthy charm to any space. For a more modern look, go for terracotta tiles in muted shades or combine them with white tiles.
Our recommendation: Quarry tiles

For people who love intricate or interesting tile designs, artsy tiles are the perfect way to make a statement.
From abstract designs to nature-inspired motifs – there are endless artsy tiles out there for you to choose from. Whether it’s a feature wall or an entire room, these intricate patterns will really bring your space together.
We think artsy tiles can be used to great effect in bathrooms, kitchens and even living spaces – as an interesting conversation starter. These tiles are perfect for those who want to add something truly unique to their home.
