Having immersed myself in a mini bathroom renovation recently, bathroom floor tile trends became all I could think about. Now, they’re one of my favorite design elements to explore.
As you may know, we went with a herringbone porcelain sheet tile. A design I felt would stand the test of time. However it would have been easy to fall into a rabbit hole of bath tile since the options these days are endless, and bathroom floor tile trends keep changing.
If you are exploring floor tile for your next project you may find your head spinning with all of the different styles, textures, and materials available. Where do you even begin? Stay on trend? Create your own path?
Don’t worry. Below I’ve broken down some of the latest bathroom tile trends that, funny enough, seem to have remained the same over time, and are perfect for your bathroom for years to come.
Hex and Penny Tile
These are the classics that really haven’t gone anywhere, but have seen a surge in popularity recently. You can literally put this in any bathroom and not go wrong with the style. They’re very versatile because the design complements an array of styles. Whether your bathroom is classic, bohemian, modern, or minimalist, penny tile and hex tile have no problem fitting in.
Manufacturers are also beginning to have a little fun with penny and hex tile, producing them in various bold colors. If you’re looking for an edgy modern look, try black penny tile with white grout. It will instantly kick up the fun meter while giving the bathroom a nod to traditional.
Traditional white penny tile with dark grout, can be equally as fun too!
Marble Tile
You’re probably thinking marble is a classic too. You’re right! However recently you’ll find all kinds of designs that you’d normally find in ceramic or porcelain, now in marble as well. Herringbone, hex, subway, basket weave – you name it.
With all of the new options, marble isn’t as fussy as it use to be. It has become more versatile, being used in all kinds of bathrooms that don’t fit the formal mold. You can find just about any marble tile design these days, and they’ll still be considered a classic.
Cement Tile
Cement tile has surely seen a rise in popularity recently. Especially in bathrooms, where homeowners feel free to have a little fun with design. You can get them in various styles such as geometric, Spanish style, and other colorful patterns.
If you’re looking for a focal point with personality to liven up your bathroom, this is the way to go. Cement tile floors definitely steal the show. They’re perfect for making an unexpected statement, and ambitious interior lovers aren’t going anywhere any time soon. Therefore, cement tile will continue to love and be loved.
Large Format Tile
Large format tile isn’t just for fussy or boring corporate bathrooms. They’re on the come-up in home bathrooms as well, maximizing the space surrounding it and providing a sleek look. Recently we’ve seen large format tile popping up in slate grey tones and marble.
This affordable option not only looks clean with its straight edges and lines, but also has the ability to open up a space, drawing your eye up to the other fun elements in the room. Not to mention it’s affordable and low maintenance! Which is probably why homeowners are loving it so much.
