Let Your Tiles Tell a Story
Bold Colours: Dare to Make a Statement
Neutral tones are taking a back seat in 2025, as vibrant and bold colours dominate tile design. Deep greens, rich blues and fiery terracottas are making waves, injecting life and energy into interiors. Whether on a feature wall or across your flooring, bold colours are perfect for adding character and depth to any room.
Matte Meets Gloss: The Perfect Pairing
Why choose between matte and gloss when you can have both? Combining matte and glossy tiles creates a dynamic contrast that’s visually striking and incredibly stylish. Use matte tiles as the foundation and sprinkle in glossy tiles as accents to add texture and dimension. The interplay of finishes catches the eye and elevates your design game.

Various Shapes Together: A Geometric Adventure
This year, it’s time to mix things up—literally. Pairing square tiles with subway tiles or hexagons with rectangles is trending. The variety of shapes creates an eclectic and artistic vibe that feels fresh and exciting. This trend allows you to unleash your creativity and design a space that’s uniquely yours.

Colour Drenching: Unified Elegance
Colour drenching is all about using a single dominant colour throughout the space, but with a twist—play with different shades and hues to add depth and interest. This trend creates a unified and immersive look, making your room feel cohesive and sophisticated. It works particularly well in bathrooms, kitchens and even living areas for a high-end, designer feel.

Classic Meets Modern: Best of Both Worlds
Marry the charm of classic tiles with the sleekness of modern designs. Think vintage-inspired tiles combined with contemporary patterns or minimalist layouts. For instance, pair timeless white subway tiles with a modern geometric border for a look that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

Pattern Play: Unleash Your Inner Artist
Patterned decor tiles are still a top choice for 2025. From Moroccan-inspired motifs to intricate florals and geometric designs, these tiles add personality to your floors, walls and splashback. Use patterned tiles as a focal point, letting them shine in otherwise neutral spaces.
