Patterned tile isn’t just a design trend. It’s a design language — a way to express personality, tell a story, and create emotional resonance in a space. From global influences to high-tech interpretations, patterned tile continues to evolve, but its impact remains timeless.

This year, it’s less about following a trend and more about embracing your own. Whether it’s a bold tiled backsplash that channels your favorite getaway or a floor pattern that reminds you of Sunday mornings at grandma’s, using patterned tiles is a way to make a space feel yours.

Why Patterned Tile Still Packs a Punch

There are reasons patterned tile never really goes out of style:
•    Personal Expression: Patterned tiles offer an emotional shortcut to individuality. No two installations are ever quite the same.
•    Design Flexibility: They work with modern, traditional, boho, maximalist, and minimalist interiors.
•    Material Advancements: Today’s digital printing offers a look reminiscent of vintage encaustic, terrazzo, or even hand-painted tile, without the maintenance.
•   Durability + Drama: Porcelain patterned floor tiles are tough enough for high-traffic spaces while turning heads.       
A fresh spin on tradition—Terra’s porcelain hex tiles for floors and walls blend terracotta-cement aesthetics with playful patterns and timeless geometry for bold, artful floors and walls.
                                                                                         

This Year’s Standout Pattern Styles

Here are some of the most compelling patterned tile styles we’re seeing right now:

Heritage-Inspired, Performance-Ready

From Moroccan mosaics to Spanish cement tiles, these globally inspired looks are now being reimagined in ultra-durable porcelain. Tile collections like Havana, Casablanca, and Form offer centuries-old charm with today’s tech.

Design Tip: Great for foyers, powder rooms, and anywhere you want a wow moment without worry.   


Vintage charm, reimagined. Havana porcelain fllor and wall tile's bold, encaustic-inspired patterns add instant character to walls and floors—perfect for creating statement spaces with a timeless twist.

Soft contrast, strong impact. This understated black-and-white motif from the encasutic tile inspired Casablanca porcelain series adds quiet elegance to minimalist bedrooms, proving that patterned tile can be both bold and soothing.

Another encaustic look, Form porcelain tile brings patchwork pattern play to life with a modern edge—perfect for bold feature walls that balance tradition and contemporary style.

                       

Tiles with Botanical and Floral Motifs

Nature has always inspired design—but today’s botanical and floral patterned tiles go beyond pretty petals. They bring organic movement, biophilic benefits, and a touch of romanticism to modern interiors.

Collections like Gemini porcelain panels by Laminam® and Castellon porcelain floor and wall tile bring these themes to life beautifully. Gemini offers delicate, nature-inspired visuals in large porcelain panels, while Castellon leans into softly layered floral patterns with a hint of classic charm.

Why It Works: These patterns soften hard surfaces with curves, vines, and leaflike linework, offering a calming, nature-connected vibe—especially in spaces with lots of natural light. Whether bold and tropical or delicate and tonal, these motifs invite visual rest and subtle drama.

Where to Use Them:
Bathrooms: Florals on walls or shower niches add spa-like serenity.
Powder rooms: A dramatic leafy motif turns a small space into a design moment.
Entryways or sunrooms: Botanical tiles visually bridge the indoors and outdoors.

Design Tip: Pair botanical tiles with natural materials—like rattan, light wood, or stone—then layer in greenery (real or faux) to complete the look. Want a modern twist? Try pairing a classic floral motif with sleek, minimalist furnishings for contrast.

Delicate yet dramatic, Gemini's floral deco ultra-thin panels bring organic elegance to large-scale surfaces. Soft tonal contrasts and botanical movement create a serene, high-style statement.


Lush and lively, Castellon’s porcelain hex tiles in a leafy botanical print bring the outdoors in—ideal for bold bathrooms, accent walls, or anywhere you want to go a little wild.

Nature-Inspired Neutrals

Softly weathered tile patterns in terracotta hues, muted greens, and stone-inspired looks bring nature indoors. Tile collections like Bejmat and Italia bridge the gap between rustic and refined. 

Where It Works: Kitchens, sunrooms, patios and any space that blurs indoor-outdoor living.


With earthy terracotta tones and subtle variation, Bejmat porcelain floor and wall tile brings ancient Moroccan tile tradition into modern design. Perfect for patios, entryways, and interiors that embrace natural warmth and artisan heritage.

Italia’s quiet elegance shines in this soft-patterned variation, blending creamy tones and subtle symmetry for a refined, organic feel. It’s a gentle nod to nature and timeless design—all in porcelain.

Bold Geometrics

Graphic motifs—from Art Deco curves to midcentury chevrons—create dynamic, eye-catching tile layouts. Try contrasting geometric colors for a timeless look, or opt for a monochrome palette for a modern statement. 

Why We Love It: Geometric patterns turn floors into focal points— no rug required!


Strikingly modern with a vintage soul—this high-contrast geometric pattern from the Casablanca porcelain tile series turns floors into optical art, perfect for contemporary dining and statement-making spaces.


Bold geometry meets marble elegance—Italia porcelain floor tile uses advanced 3D technology to mimic waterjet mosaics, delivering luxe dimension and mesmerizing movement with the durability of porcelain.


A classic reimagined—Tesserae porcelain mosic field tiles draw from 19th-century artisan cement tiles to create intricate mosaic-inspired patterns with a modern matte finish. Ideal for indoor or outdoor floors with personality.

Glamour meets geometry. Gatsby porcelain floor and wall tile channels Art Deco elegance with marbled mosaic motifs and a soft lappato finish that adds just the right amount of shine. Sophisticated, sculptural, and effortlessly luxe.

With a bold nod to Art Deco curves, Elipse ceramic tile brings rhythmic movement and graphic flair to walls. With its sculptural symmetry and playful palette, this tile turns everyday surfaces into eye-catching statements.

Textured + Tactile

Not all patterned tiles are printed. Some are formed through texture and relief. Tile collections with dimensional or sculptural surfaces bring an added sensory element to the experience.

Design Tip: Use on shower walls or fireplace surrounds to add depth without overwhelming the space.


Elevate your space—and your mood. Glow ceramic wall tile pairs high-gloss shine with subtle tone-on-tone geometric reliefs, delivering radiant color and touchable texture for walls that truly glow up.


Three patterns, endless impact. With Ivy, Divide, and Maze designs in a palette of rich hues, Visible Vibes ceramic wall tile delivers dimensional pattern and subtle movement—bringing walls to life through touch and tone.


Inspired by Mediterranean Kasbah design, this matte-finish tile brings dimensional flair to the floor with strong lines, smooth texture, and striking visual rhythm. Casbah ceramic wall tile is proof that proof that subtle pattern can be powerful.

Inspired by antique tin ceiling tiles, Empire Vintage ceramic wall tile brings embossed elegance to the walls in tones of patina green, whitewash, and metallic tin—perfect for farmhouse, vintage, or industrial chic spaces.

Pattern Like a Pro: How to Make It Work

Want to incorporate patterned tile but not sure where to start? Try this:
•    Stick to a Palette: Choose one dominant hue and let the pattern add interest through texture and form.
•    Scale it Right: Small patterns feel intimate in bathrooms, while large-scale motifs add drama to open-plan spaces.
•    Mix with Restraint: Pair your patterned tile with quieter surfaces so the eye has a place to rest.
