1. Black & White Tiles
Black and white tiles have remained a classic and timeless choice in the interior world. From checkerboard flooring to geometric designs, their monochromatic palette creates a sense of balance and suit various styles such as retro, vintage, and modern. As seen in this case study, a lovely customers bathroom (@wildinthewolds) shows the Alba patterned ceramic tiles on the floor with their unique pattern and monochrome tone. A dusky neutral pink ‘China Clay - Dark’ by Little Greene complements the black and white tiles, adding just a hint of colour and sophistication.
Zellige tiles are artisanal, enamel-coated tiles crafted in Morocco with a rich glaze, unique texture, and beautiful variation of pigments. Reminiscent of these original Moroccan tiles, many Zellige style tiles are now made from porcelain and ceramic, resulting in a very strong body, that is easier to install and maintain. The diversity in tone, glaze, depth, and shades available for these Zellige like tiles has seen the popularity and widespread appeal of Zellige grow in recent years and is set to stay a bathroom tile trend for 2025. White Zellige tiles are a favourite, with the Safi Seashell providing a delicate tonal white with a high gloss finish and beautiful variation.
3. Kit Kat Tiles
Kit Kat tiles are one of the biggest bathroom design trends this year. Kit Kat tiles are a style of tile that, as the name suggests, resemble the popular chocolate bar, featuring small, rectangular tiles arranged in a grid pattern. These mosaic finger tiles are admired for their streamlined linear appearance, working with contemporary bathrooms. On the theme of white bathroom tiles, the Nori Pearl stick tiles are a popular option for their soft variation, offering a tile that is subtle and classic in tone but contemporary in design.
4. Pantone 'Mocha Mousse' Tiles
If you’re looking to incorporate colour into your bathroom for 2025, then Pantone’s colour of the year ‘Mocha Mousse’, is a perfect colourway to embrace with our range of earthy toned tiles. The Farini Terracotta tiles offer a glossy surface in classic pinkish brown hues, as well as our Porto Pastel Orange patterned tiles for an understated orange tile with brown undertones.
5. Marble Bathroom Tiles
Marble tiles have been used for centuries, gracing bathrooms and hallways alike. Known for being a dense and hardwearing material, marble is a natural stone available in a variety of colours with unique patterning and details. When it comes to bathroom tile trends for 2025, marble bathroom tiles are having their moment. Whether it is a classic white marble like the Carrara Bianco Marble or checkerboard tiles like the Riviera Emerald & White, marble tiles are sure to elevate any bathroom scheme, adding a timeless elegance.
6. Patterned Bathroom Tiles
Patterned bathroom tiles are a wonderful way to incorporate colour and design into a bathroom scheme, with patterned bathroom flooring being particularly popular in 2024. These tiles come in a range of styles, from vintage-inspired floral motifs and bold geometric shapes to classic Moroccan style tiles. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these porcelain and ceramic tiles provide a practical choice for a high-moisture environment like the bathroom. The Pamplona Blanco patterned porcelain tile takes inspiration from the famous Italian ‘Majolica’ tiles; traditionally designed and hand painted by artisanal craftsmen. These porcelain tiles are also made of minimum 20% recycled materials, offering a more sustainable and eco-conscious option.
7. Textured Tiles
Textured tiles are going to be a strong trend when it comes to bathroom tiles, with a move in interiors towards tactile surfaces and finishes. Following latest developments in the tile industry, the range of finishes, 3D technology and unique surfaces available offers an array of textures. The Avalon Mist Decor tiles provide a neutral wall covering with a shaping to the surface with a linear design, whilst the Pottery Clay Decor tiles offer a terracotta toned metro with a textured relief to the tiles for a tactile look.
8. Marble Effect Tiles
Marble effect tiles or faux marble tiles have been a popular alternative to real marble for a number of years, thanks to the realistic print, array of designs available and easy maintenance of marble effect porcelain. If you’re looking for a classic warm white marble tile, then look no further than the Ravello Borghini marble effect tiles. This porcelain is an authentic replica of natural Borghini marble with realistic details and flowing veining. For a statement tile, the Albareto Viola is a striking and intricate marble effect porcelain with an off-white background shade and contrasting purple veining from tile to tile.
9. Fluted Tiles
Fluted tiles are the latest trend of tiling, creating a unique wall covering with texture and shape. In a popular thin linear tile, with a fluted and rounded edge, fluted tiles offer a multi-dimensional look to bathroom walls. The Zanetti Jade Green is a beautiful marble effect tile in an earthy green hue with striking white and grey veining from tile to tile. For a 'pretty in pink' take on this trend, the Carrara Rosa Pink offers delicate blush pink veining against a white backdrop.
10. Herringbone Brick Tiles
A final bathroom tile trend, herringbone brick tiles are paving the way in 2025, recreating the perfect rustic country look for bathrooms. These slim brick tiles help give the illusion of space and add a decorative feel whilst keeping with neutral shades. The herringbone style is a popular laying pattern that can be achieved with most tiles, so long as the width is half or less than the length. The Tuscany tumbled herringbone brick is a textured honey toned stone, featuring subtle variation as well as rich fossilisation resulting in a characterful and forgiving limestone tile.
