1. Black and White and Clean All Over

No need to separate the lights from the darks, even a small laundry space is made formal and charming with black-and-white tile. The simple color scheme keeps this laundry room from looking too busy, but the fun pattern of the Annie Selke Aylin Black adds interest to this small space.

2. Soft Neutrals

Chores are calming in this serene space designed by Hidden Valley Homes. The greige patterned encaustic-look tiles complement the soft green and grey walls and cabinets. The neutral tones keep the space relaxed amidst the hecticness of daily life. If this is the hue for you, shop our full selection of gray tile.

3. Modern Farmhouse

A little bit country, a lot cozy and ultra-chic–modern farmhouse design embraces the functionality of the home, making it perfect style for a laundry room. This charming space designed by Studio M matches the light wood and dark hardware of the cabinets with the black and tan pattern of the Star tile for a cohesive, designed space that still feels homey.

4. Fresh Linen Patterns

Keep your laundry room looking clean and crisp with Morris & Co. Pure Net Linen. This ornate patterned tile is inspired by the iconic British designer William Morris’s historic wallpaper.

A design staple, sleek and chic subway tile transcends trends. The Coco White Glossy tile used in this stately laundry room designed by Juniper and Jade Interiors is installed in a traditional brick-lay pattern for an unassuming backsplash that nevertheless complements the dark green cabinets and gold hardware in the room.

6. Marvelous Marble Looks

Your laundry floor probably withstands a lot of traffic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a luxurious space. Marble-look tile combines the elegance of marble with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain. This traditional-style laundry room pairs stylish black-and-white Marble Star floor tile with taupe cabinets for a space that feels both elevated and relaxed.

7. Blue Sky Hues

This bright laundry space makes for cheerful chores. We love how Molly Howe Design paired pale blue cabinets with the Artisan Cardiff patterned floor tile. The color invokes all the serotonin-inducing goodness of a bright sunny day, for a warm and fresh space.

8. Chic Tile Patterns

This bright galley laundry room is a trendy hangout space (as evidenced by its very cool canine regular). The Annie Selke Aylin Blue patterned floor tile adds interest to this otherwise neutral space. And we love the dog portraits above the window! For more textile-inspired tiles, shop our exclusive Annie Selke collection.

9. Sleek Slate

Natural stone features unique variations between pieces making this a one-of-a-kind design trend that has been around for literally ages. With colors ranging from black to rust, slate tile is popular for its rustic look and natural surface variation. The Adoni Black tile shown here has a natural grey tone that elevates this laundry room while the colored veining adds a sense of movement that softens the space.

10. Walls that Pop

Add texture to your walls with a sculptural or 3-D wall tile. The Flow 1 Greige tile used for the walls in this traditional-style laundry room adds a stylish pattern that will change as the light moves through the room.

11. Charming Hexes

Vintage-made-modern hexagon tile are a fun shape for any room, but we especially love how the warm colors in the Hampton Carrara Polished Hex tile add character and complement the soft neutrals of this cozy laundry room.

12. Plaid Flooring Design

A checkerboard tile floor is a design win, but if you want to add an extra element to your room, try adding another color square. This black, white and grey tile floor is classy and fun and the simple color scheme keeps this small space looking clean and orderly.

13. Stunningly Graceful Herringbone

Long, skinny wood-look porcelain tile creates a wonderful sense of movement when installed in a herringbone pattern in this charming laundry room designed by Timber Trails. The light birch design on this tile adds texture and coziness to this space.

14. Geometric Florals

Add whimsy to your space with a bold geometric floral pattern. Our Laura Ashley collection features charming prints from the iconic British brand’s archive so you can create an English cottage look in your home. This laundry room uses the Sunflower Charcoal with Cloud Blue for a touch of fun and bright design.

15. Industrial Accents

You don’t need an expansive loft space to get an industrial design look. Incorporate a cement-look tile like the Industrial Roxy Acero tile backsplash used in this chic laundry room designed by West Bay Homes. The textures and mix of warm and cool colors in this tile create a space that’s as hip as it is inviting.
