Now Trending: Textured Tile
What is textured tile? It’s in the name–tile with texture. A textured surface can provide both visual and tactile interest, adding intrigue and depth to your interior design.

We love the look of this textured shower tile. It adds a sense of luxury and visual interest to this all-white bathroom.
We’ve been talking about textured tile since our 2022 Tile Trends article, and its popularity only seems to have grown since then. In 2025, the textured tile trend encompasses Zellige tile, textured natural stone, terracotta, brick-look tile, sculptural tile, and 3D porcelain and ceramic tile–any tile type that isn’t flat and brings a sense of movement and character to the space.
Textured tile is popular because it makes the space more dynamic, playing with light and shadow for a one-of-a-kind look. Trends are currently straying away from a sleek, streamlined look to embrace more personality, and textured tile has plenty of it!
Benefits of Textured Tile

This fresh take on subway tile is simply stunning with its rich gold color.
Textured tile comes with several advantages:
● Floor tile with texture adds traction, which can be especially helpful in potentially slippery areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, pools, and patios - this is great for those with kids and pets!
● Textured tile is more comfortable and warmer underfoot than smooth tile.
● Dirt, dust, dents, scratches, and scuffs are less visible on textured surfaces.
● Textured tile adds a fun design element to the room without taking up space, perfect for small areas where there isn’t much room for decor (think feature walls and backsplashes).
● Textured tile makes the room more vibrant, giving it personality and flair.
● Textured tile is available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, and materials, so there’s something for every style.
● Textured tile can highlight the focal point of your space, whether that’s the television, a fireplace, or a mirror.
Additional Considerations
Along with all of the benefits of textured tile, there are also a couple of considerations to keep in mind:
● It tends to be more challenging to clean compared to tile with a smooth surface, as dust and dirt can build up in the tile’s crevices.
● Many textured tiles are meant for wall use only, so it’s important to ensure any tile you want to use as flooring is suitable for that type of application. (Learn about the differences between wall and floor tile here.)
Introducing the Kaleido Collection
Shop The Look: Kaleido Glass Mirror 10.4x11.2 Porcelain Tile
This mirrored tile creates a reflective, futuristic feature wall.
The Kaleido Collection was designed to bring artistry, depth, and texture to any space. Each of the seven options in this collection is composed of uniquely crafted porcelain and glass tiles arranged in a dynamic mosaic. Brimming with creativity and elegance, these tiles are intended to make any space feel more expressive and open. They’re suitable for wall applications, including feature walls, backsplashes, and showers.
To keep these tiles looking beautiful and brand-new, use a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent to wipe down their surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the mosaic’s finish. Learn more about maintaining different types of tile in our guide.
