Ready to make your 2025 tile projects your best yet?
Whether you're tackling a bathroom reno or redoing your kitchen backsplash, you'll want fresh, standout, trendy tile to complete your project. Fortunately, we've rounded up the hottest tile trends of 2025, providing you with all the inspiration and resources you'll need to make your tile the center of attention.
Italian Style Is Trending in Tile
Remember the Tuscan-style kitchen of the early aughts? The look is back, but it's elevated. No longer about monotone beiges and browns, today's Italian style is full of warm colors that reflect the Mediterranean landscape (think sunny yellow, deep burgundy, olive green, and Riad's Aegean Blue shade).
Beyond tile colors, there are some styles — namely, classic terrazzo and terracotta — that are perfect for bringing some Tuscan sun into your space.
Retro Pastels Are Back
The baby blues, powdery pinks, minty greens, and gentle yellows of the 50s are back in vogue, and tile is the perfect vehicle for adding these beautiful pastels to any space.
Light blue and muddied pink are both going to be very in during 2025. You can capitalize on the trend (which will remain timeless beyond 2025) with Riad's softest colorways, like Petal or Blush.
If you'd rather lean into stylish green and yellow pastels, you can pair those colors with warm, earthy cabinets and finishes to create a trendy, spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom, capitalizing on another of the year's biggest trends.
Texture Is Essential
Color isn't the only way to add visual interest to your tile. 2025 is the perfect time to experiment with standout tile texture and give your space some extra excitement.
Zellige is a time-tested pick for bringing more feeling and movement to a space. An ancient Moroccan craft, Zellige tile is hand-formed, making each piece unique and interesting. The tile is very trendy itself, but it's also a great way to bring an organic, earthy texture to your space.
You can also think of texture as a visual effect rather than a touch-based sensation. If you'd rather go this route, try visually engaging tile shapes like Riad's hexagons, trapezoids, diamonds, and ovals, all of which can add eye-popping dimension to your space.
If you're wondering whether this specific tile trend means that smooth, sleek subway tiles are out, don't worry — you can still go with this perennial favorite. But instead of picking the classic white subway tile, try getting creative with color and finish to up the tile's visual allure. Riad offers vivid blue, green, and pink subway sizes in matte and glossy finishes, allowing you to play with the look of a well-loved tile staple and add more texture to your space.
Neutral Is Out — Color Is In
Look — we love our marble. But in 2025, all-white marble tiles don't exactly provide that bright, colorful look that's currently in style. This year, stylists are ditching cold, sterile marble and stone for warm tiles.
A great way to get in on the color movement is to indulge in an on-trend statement backsplash in the kitchen or bathroom. While Riad has a whole spectrum of vibrant shades, we also offer patterns that will make any project pop.
Even if you're not outfitting a backsplash, don't be afraid to play with patterns and color in 2025. One unique option for nailing this trend? Go with a stylish metallic finish, available at Riad in 2"x8" or 4"x4" ceramic.
If it's trending in tile, it's available at Riad. See the best selection of stylish tile for yourself by visiting Riad's Dallas tile shop, where you can feel unique textures, pick the right finish, and take home plenty of samples.
