Fresh Tile Looks with Timeless Trends in 2025
Classic Checkerboard Tile Stuns Against a Spiral Staircase …
Talk about making a grand entrance! You can't ask for anything more stunning than a classic checkerboard marble floor set against a sweeping spiral staircase with geometric stair rail and swirled glass balls. This jaw-dropping foyer design comes from @julieneilldesigns, @noblestudio_interiors, and @kennonconstruction, with photos from @juliawade. Be sure to swipe for the breathtaking downward view!
The round, antique-inspired table complements the timeless flooring and adds a touch of cozy charm. This fresh look pairs classic checkerboard tile design with curvy, swirling architectural and design accents.
…and Beautiful Blue Walls
We're happy that it looks like checkerboard tile will stay in vogue in 2025. Here's another gorgeous look at it:
We can't even imagine any mud in this pristine sea of tranquility, where we will gladly let the hours slip away surrounded by De Nimes blue walls, exquisite cabinetry, and our luxurious Calacatta Gold and Bardiglio Grey marble in an elegant checkerboard beneath our feet — hats off to @jamesmayhomes, @englishoneighteen, and @laurenkonradphoto for designing and capturing the incredible aesthetic.
The look is timeless and trendy simultaneously — and we love it! Achieve it by balancing a classic checkerboard tile pattern against bold, solid-color walls or cabinets, like this beautiful shade of blue.
Zellige Tile Makes a Subtle Statement
Don't mind us for being thrilled; another timeless tile is staying on trend in 2025: Zellige tile.
In this case, our fan-favorite, Natural White Zellige tile, makes a sublime subtle statement as the perfect neutral backsplash to showcase the extraordinary Studio Green cabinets by Farrow & Ball in this design from @bothmindsdesign.
Notice how the light and dark contrast of the backsplash and cabinetry complement each other and create a warm and inviting kitchen. Because each Moroccan tile is handmade, each one is unique. The slight size and color variations and surface imperfections give Zellige tile the distinct texture and finish that designers and tile customers love.
Snow White Zellige and Warm, Neutral Tile Shades Shine On
Warm, neutral shades are still in, too. Riad's classic Snow White 2"x6" Zellige tile is a rich backsplash and adds fresh flair to this spectacular kitchen design from @ericajames.design. Every accent — including the rustic wood cutting boards, barstools, and bowl of plums — heightens this space's beauty and simple elegance. If you use a neutral tile shade, you can create a lovely visual contrast with darker accents or different textures.
Move Over Neutrals and Make Way for Colors and Patterns
Now that we've confirmed checkerboard tiles will remain classic and timeless, handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tiles and warm, neutral tones will continue to give fresh tile looks in 2025; prepare to make way for some bold tile colors and patterns next year.
Green Hand Painted Artisan Tile looks in this bold bathroom design from @bonnieharmsdesigns and @michaelharrisconstruction. We're spinning with joy at the final reveal.
If injecting pops of bold color in unexpected places is all the rage in 2025, there's not a better example than this crazy cool custom display for @lefruitnails, where no shade was spared for polish choices and colors of ceramic tiles. Look at all those luscious lacquers and get inspired to embrace your bold tile designs.
We're excited to tile our way into the new year and help our customers realize their renovation dreams. Stop by the Riad Tile showroom in Dallas or call us at 972-914-9600 to discuss how we can help you get started today.
