2025 Tile Trends with Expert Insight from Tile of Spain
At the forefront of upcoming trends and innovation, this year’s Cersaie show in Bologna showcased an incredible collection of exciting new ceramic tile designs for 2025 from the Spanish tile industry.
From sensory, calm textures to dynamic dimensions, María D Arráez, Director of Tile of Spain UK, and Clara Vicedo, Marketing and Communications executive at ASCER, round up their top five trends from this year’s show that will be leading the world of tile design in 2025:
“Tile dimensions are becoming more tactile and more adventurous. Three-dimensional tiles are expanding to include more shapes and designs, creating interiors that are all about unique character. From multi-coloured fluting to different shaped tile reliefs, we have seen a significant shift in the dynamism of the dimensions in the latest tile collections, extending far beyond a simple 3D structure, but instead showcasing a wide range of dimensions and styles that will bring structure and striking statements to residential and commercial spaces.”
“Texture in tiles has developed further than a simple structure in the surface. Thanks to continued developments in manufacturing technologies, tile designs are increasingly presenting more depth in pattern and structure, exuding a calming, sensory effect through a very subtle sense of movement. From beautiful veining in restorative tones to sanded stone, rough wood and brushed concrete effects, tiles are injecting a soothing aesthetic through a stunning palette of neutral yet textured designs.”
“Tiles lend themselves perfectly to creating unique and striking visual statements. From mixing and matching different colours of the same tile, to eye-catching geometric designs, homeowners and designers have started to exude even more abstract expression through their surface choices. In some cases, tiled surfaces will become almost kaleidoscopic in appearance, delivering a new elevated level of creativity when it comes to interior design.”
“A trend for more ‘out of this world’ finishes and colourways has started to make itself known through tile design. Otherworldly iridescent effects and decorative overlays that go beyond simple colour are set to show a significant increase in popularity in the coming year. From metallic, layered hues to shaded variations, this trend can be beautifully represented through wall tiles, offering designers the opportunity to inject a touch of ethereal beauty into schemes.”
“Blending the past with the present, historic influences are increasingly being showcased through tile design. Whether through retro-inspired palettes or pattern clashes and combinations, a nod to nostalgia can be seen through the latest modern tile collections. Combined with shapes, finishes and accents that bring a nostalgic interior scheme together, tiles are set to take centrestage within this past-meets-present trend era.”
