3 Bathroom Tile Trends To Know

When tiling your bathroom, you aren’t limited to having your tile installer lay row upon row of tile, much like hardwood plank flooring. You can elevate even the most basic white square tile into something visually appealing.

The question becomes, what ae the top three tile trends you should consider?

While compiling our list of the best tile trends, we didn’t just pick the season’s trendiest designs. Rather, we opted for the current styles that we think will last for years to come! Read on to find out which tile trend may suit your bathroom!

The Top 3 Tile Trends

We divided the top tile trends into three categories: shape, finish, and pattern, so you can quickly locate which tile trend piques your interest.

Trendy Tile Shape: Kit Kat Tiles

We’ve all heard, seen, and probably eaten the iconic chocolate KitKat bar, but did you know that the Kit Kat shape is rapidly emerging as a top tile choice with homeowners? The elegant long rectangular Kit Kat shape is the latest trend, and we don’t foresee it losing popularity anytime soon.

If you’re curious about how and where to integrate Kit Kat tiles into your bathroom, here’s how:

• How to install them: Kit Kat tiles are eye-catching as a solid wall or when paired with other shaped tiles, like squares, as they accentuate the Kit Kat’s long, dainty shape. However, the primary way homeowners want their Kit Kat tiles installed is vertically on a wall, giving it a contemporary yet elegant vibe.
• Where to install them: These tiles work well as a vanity backsplash, on a feature wall, or in a tiled shower.
• Tile installer tip: Wood-look is Another hot trend we don’t anticipate ever dying down. And, yes, Kit Kat tiles are available in a wood-look finish. Wood-look Kit Kat tiles are a great way to add interest to your vanity, as they resemble wooden slats.

Trendy Tile Finish: Matte Ceramic Tiles

Another tile trend we often see, as experienced tile installers, is homeowners gravitating to matte over glossy finished tiles. A matte finish can instantly turn your tiled space into a sophisticated one. The key thing to remember about matte finishes is they are non-shiny, so they are not well-suited for smaller bathrooms as the loss of reflectivity makes a small bathroom feel even tinier. 

Here’s how and where to add matte-finished tiles to your bathroom:

• How to install them: Matte ceramic tiles are versatile and can be arranged in any tile shape, pattern, colour, or design you choose. For instance, matte works well with a contemporary white tiled bathroom or with a herringbone pattern to add another layer of elegance to an already captivating pattern.

• Where to install them: Use a matte ceramic tile anywhere in the bathroom.

• Tile installer tip: There are many trendy tile colours, like green or earthy tones, that you can get in a matte finish if you’re looking for a simple yet effective way to add interest to your bathroom tile design.

Trendy Tile Pattern: Geometrics

From geometric-shaped tiles that can be arranged into a pattern, like hexagons, to chevron-patterned geometrics. No matter which geometric tile arrangement you use, they are very trendy and unlikely to fall out of style. Homeowners fall for geometrics because they infuse your space with a lot of character and often become a statement wall. 

Here’s how and where to incorporate geometrics into your bathroom:

• How to install them: The geometric tile you want (shape or pattern) influences how your tile installers will lay them. For instance, for an understated geometric pattern, use plain hexagonal tiles; for a bold look, try a chevron or herringbone pattern.

• Where to install them: Anywhere in your bathroom! Geometrics are an excellent focus wall.
• Tile installer tip: Another hot trend is metallics. Fortunately, you can have it all, as many tile companies are merging geometrics like a black-and-white chevron with metallic embellishments for even greater visual appeal.
