Tile Trends to Watch for 2024

When it comes to interior design trends, tile is an exciting material to watch because it’s so versatile. It serves a functional purpose in the home and adds visual allure to counters, backsplashes, floors, showers, fireplaces, and more. Its uses are delightfully unlimited, especially as tile continues to evolve over time — with an incredible variety of shapes, sizes, textures, materials, colors, and patterns.

We love showing off our favorite tile trends at the start of each year. Both enduring and current, these five tile trends for 2024 check the box on style and substance — and this list isn’t just limited to bathroom tile trends and kitchen tile trends. These tile statements are also right at home in entryways, patios, walls, and beyond. Enjoy!

Nostalgic Terrazzo

Terrazzo tile, which was wildly popular in the 1970s, will continue to be the comeback kid in 2024. Recognizable for its explosion of uniquely colored flecks and spots in both nostalgic tones and earthy hues, this tile revival introduces a groovy edge to any space. We have more than 15 modern and vibrant variations with unconventional juxtapositions of materials, including a uniquely colorful Marzipan Terrazzo, a forest-green Baobab Terrazzo, and a black-and-white spotted Orca Terrazzo.

Beautiful Imperfections

Perhaps there was a time when you thought tile should be pristine and perfect, but that is no longer necessary — or even desirable! It’s one of the reasons why Zellige tile continues to be a darling of interior design tile trends. The authentic Moroccan tiles are 100% handcrafted, based on centuries of tradition. As such, their irregularities and imperfections are core to their character — and they vary in color, shade, and tone while flaunting pits, cracks, and chipped edges. The takeaway? They are absolutely stunning.

Rich Colors

While there’s always a place for quieter, minimalistic design, 2024 will be more about bold moves when it comes to tile colors. From saturated blues and greens to palettes inspired by rich desert tones and blush-toned delights, it’s all on the table — and it’s a significant departure from the past years’ affinity for neutrals (not that neutrals are going anywhere!). Zellige tile capitalizes on both trends with its beautifully imperfect allure and also comes in a range of color-drenched options — or scope out ceramic tiles and cement tiles in multiple hues. An expanded palette may feel like a daring choice, but it can ultimately create a particularly eye-catching yet harmonious effect.

Pattern Play

Speaking of bold moves, geometric tiles usher in loads of personality and pizzazz to any space and are making an even grander entrance on the scene in 2024. Patterned tiles transform any room into an artistic statement and allow for the creation of a wholly unique, customized look.

With Mediterranean-inspired designs, intriguing emblems, graphic lines, and more, patterned tiles are available in ceramic and cement and are nothing short of eye candy in kitchens, bathrooms, patios, and more. They also make an excellent substitute for wallpaper.

Marble Marvels

Marble has always been a sweetheart of interior design, with its versatile qualities imbuing an elegant, striking look into whatever space it touches. But it’s having even more of a moment in 2024. See its moody, sophisticated appeal come alive in signature patterns, large-format tiles, and micro-herringbone patterns, along with an infusion of black, rose, and gray colorways right here.
