Terrazzo Look

One of our favorite new tile trends is a classic made new. Terrazzo tile is characterized by stone chips in a cement base. While this tile was traditionally used on Italian terraces, the look has made its way into all spaces. This chic shower features the Terrazzo Bianco Micro porcelain tile, a terrazzo look that mixes warm browns and cool greys for a contemporary design. We love how this tile pairs with the Nidus Decor Look fluted wood-look wall tile for a rich, organic space.

Marvelous Marble Tile

Nothing exemplifies luxury quite like marble tile. The unique veining in each authentic stone tile will create a sense of movement that is subtle, dramatic or somewhere in between—like the grey tones in the Siberian Pearl marble tile shown here. This bright and elegant bathroom designed by Timber Trails shows how your layout can affect the look of the space. The oversized subway tile pieces are installed in a herringbone pattern, creating a zig-zag pattern that is mirrored on the chevron tile walls.

Cross Patterns

Another twist on a polka dot pattern, this beautiful bathroom designed by I SPY DIY features the Cross Black tile dotted with single pieces of the Cross Snow White tile.

Extend the Floor Up the Wall

You don't need to stop your floor tile at the wall. If you have a fun pattern or color, like the Summerland by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Miramar shown here, then why not continue it onto an accent wall?

An intricate marble mosaic is more than just a beautiful statement, the small pieces and extra grout lines will create traction in a wet space like a shower or bathroom floor. This elegant shower designed by Nikki Chu features the Modena marble mosaic tile with the Savannah Antique marble-look porcelain tile.

Authentic Zellige Tile

Another tenet of quiet luxury is an embrace of authentic hand-crafted materials. Zellige tiles are crafted, painted and glazed by hand for a perfectly imperfect quality that can't be replicated. These tiles will be slightly uneven, so you'll want to keep that in mind if you choose them for your floor. However, the effect is an elegant space that connects to ancient traditions. This floor uses the Zellige Charcoal Chabone Cross matte tile and the Zellige Charcoal Chabone Star glossy tile in a classic design.

Marble-Look Tile

Advances in technology have taken marble-look tile a long way. With realistic veining that reaches all the way to the edge and multiple tile faces for fewer repeats, marble-look porcelain and ceramic tile is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. If you have your heart set on real marble, then mixing in a marble-look tile can help you stretch your budget. As floors suffer more wear than walls, marble-look floor tile will keep its appearance longer and is easier to maintain. You can even find marble-look tiles with colors you won't find in nature, like the cool blue veining in the Marradi Calacatta Cielo tile shown here.
