7 bathroom floor tile trends interior designers have on their radar
From patterns and layouts to colors and texture, this year's bathroom floor tile trends are all about grounding your space in the most stylish way possible. There's a big focus on natural materials and organic designs – perfect for an enduring bathroom floor design.
1. Natural stone in unique patterns
A quick look into bathroom trends this year and you’ll notice a clear pattern – it’s all about returning to natural materials. And when it comes to bathroom floor tile trends, it’s time to start embracing natural stone.
‘We are seeing clients using more natural stone field tiles applied in more unique patterns. For example, using two different limestone tiles of different sizes or a marble checker pattern with a border,’ says Sarah Snouffer, of Third Street Architecture.
This bathroom design showcases how beautiful a marble checkerboard floor looks – it pairs beautifully with the wood vanity and the grey tiles on the shower walls.
2. Classic terracotta flooring
In a similar vein, 2025 is being coined the year of terracotta, adding an organic and warming feature to bathrooms.
‘It’s rich and warming to look at, it’s textured and rugged to the touch, and it’s immensely easygoing to live with. Helped along by the fact that the color to go cuckoo for this year is earthy brown, terracotta tile ticks every box out there,’ says Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at Ca’ Pietra.
‘Terracotta nails it every time and because new ideas of layout and shape are constantly coming forward, it’s a trend that keeps on evolving and refusing to fall off the radar. It works especially well in bathrooms, too, as it has plenty of texture to prevent slipping and is warm underfoot.'
3. Bringing back terrazzo
If there’s one material you might not have expected to make a comeback this year, it’s probably terrazzo. But this playful design is set to be big news for bathroom flooring.
‘It has been gaining steady momentum over the last year but we expect it to be one of the biggest floor trends of 2025. It offers an esteemed and enduring style, with a classical element that never really falls out of fashion,’ says Louise Ashdown, head of design at West One Bathrooms.
‘With many different color combinations on offer, it allows homeowners to be playful with their tile choice, along with adding texture and pattern. We also love the sustainability element of this flooring. Often Terrazzo is made using recycled materials and so can be a more sustainable tile choice than other options.’
4. Mixing and matching shapes and colors
Thoughtful pairings of tile types, whether mismatched in size, color, or shape, will also dominate bathroom floor trends in 2025, designers say. The key here is unanticipated juxtaposition.
Designer Lauren Robbins says she's seen 'a lot of great color combinations and geometric shapes so far,' including 'color combinations that initially feel unexpected but warm up on you, feeling fresh and out of the box the more you see them.'
'Zia Tile has a line that was recently released with a mix of diamonds, squares, and trapezoids that lead to beautiful patterns when all of the varying colors are put together. Truly stunning!' she says.
Lauren Robbins is the Founder and Lead Designer of Lauren Robbins Interiors, a residential design studio based in Georgia.
5. Mosaic floor tile designs
Mosaic tile will never go out of style, and it's back in a big way. Interior designer Noz Nozawa says the material offers benefits on both aesthetic and functional fronts.
'I'm excited to be seeing more energy for mosaic bathroom floors because the smallness of a mosaic tile allows you so much freedom aesthetically – but also, as a designer whose worst nightmare is slipping in the bathroom, mosaic floors are great for their grippy properties,' she says.
You can really play around with mosaic floor tiles – opt for something busy and colorful, or create a more classic, minimal design like the patterned mosaic in the bathroom.
Noz Nozawa is the Founder and Principal Designer at Noz Design, an award-winning, full-service design studio based in San Francisco.
6. Tumbled stone
As well as the sleeker natural stone flooring options that are trending this year, more rustic, organic designs are having a moment, too. Tumbled stone isn't new by any means, but the well-loved material is back in 2025 for its timeless nature.
Becky Shea, interior designer and founder of Becky Shea Design, says tumbled stone is her go-to for bathroom floor designs. Often in large formats, and adopting earthy color schemes, tumbled stone flooring makes a bathroom feel serene and inviting.
'There's an inherent richness, organic quality, and a touch of historical influence in this material that imparts a timeless and warm vibe to any space. The way it effortlessly blends modern aesthetics with a sense of enduring charm is truly captivating,' she says.
Becky Shea is a full-service interior designer and lifestyle entrepreneur in New York City. She co-founded her studio, Becky Shea Design, where she currently works as the creative director. Her work is rooted in her love for natural materials that celebrate sustainability and craftsmanship from the local artisan community.
7. Tiles in beautiful earth tones
This year's bathroom trends are returning to more tranquil designs, with earthy, natural references at the forefront. As such, bathroom floor tiles in earth tones and organic finishes are a perfect choice.
'Color-wise, it's all about keeping it chill with neutrals, but don't be afraid to throw in a bold tile here and there for some drama,' says Marie Cloud, owner and principal designer of Indigo Pruitt Design Studio.
'I'm also loving the matte finishes that are not just cool but practical too – less slip, more grip!' Opting for warm neutrals and earthy hues will instantly give your bathroom a sense of calm – they're also a perfect base to accommodate your changing style for years to come.
Marie Cloud is the Owner and Principal Designer of Indigo Pruitt Design Studio, a full-service firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
