Tile Trends for 2021

Spring is in the air! With that a feeling of a fresh start, now is a great time to give your home that mini facelift you have been thinking about. Bathrooms and kitchens are always a great starting off point for renovations and if you are thinking about selling your home in the near future. These rooms will give you the most bang for your buck. Both of these rooms utilize tile in some form or another and tile trends for this year are evolving to include warmer tones, textures, and shapes that we haven’t seen in quite some time. Let’s explore them further!

Hexagon Shapes

Hexagon shapes will be big this year! This shape can be used in kitchens and bathrooms. We will see the hexagon evolve in a variety of shades and sizes. With modern colors and patterns, we will see more movement in the tiles as seen with this starburst pattern featured in Houzz.

Texture or 3D

Texture, texture, texture! This will be a big trend this year. Use it as a feature wall in a bathroom, to add dimension and height, as well as making a smaller bathroom feel bigger. This type of tile is not ideal for a kitchen backsplash though. The Tile Shop in The Woodlands has an amazing selection of 3D tiles to choose from.

Square

In 2021 expect to see a comeback of the square tile. Many designers are using this tile in a stacked pattern. You will see it in kitchen’s behind the stove and bathroom showers and backsplashes behind the sink. Interceremic has some wonderful ideas and products to choose from.

Subway

Traditional subway tile is taking a backseat to a more modern twist. We are seeing these tiles stacked, vertical, and in a chevron pattern. Expect to see them in glossy finishes and in bold colors. Colors that are found in nature, greens, blues, and yellows will also be a huge trend in 2021.

Moroccan

This year we will see a shift from neutrals to a more vibrant and colorful palette. Moroccan tiles gives warmth and playfulness to a room. Use this tile on the bathroom floor or as a backsplash in your kitchen. Floor and Decor has a wonderful selection of Moroccan tiles.
