Each year, Coverings, the premier tile and stone expo in North America, unveils the top ten tile trends in honor of National Tile Day. This event highlights the advantages of tile in both residential and commercial settings and celebrates its enduring presence in architecture and design. The trendsetters for this year have been pinpointed by Coverings’ main sponsors alongside three major tile associations: Ceramics of Italy/Confindustria Ceramica, the Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association of Spain (ASCER)/Tile of Spain, and the Tile Council of North America (TCNA). These groups have collaborated to present the most stylish and sought-after tile designs from around the globe.
Coverings spokesperson Alena Capra, owner of Alena Capra Designs and Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer, collaborated with the associations to forecast the trends that are expected to dominate tile design and installation decisions throughout the year and beyond.
“The 2025 tile trends highlight ceramic tile’s limitless potential across residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces, emphasizing its unmatched versatility, exceptional durability, and superior hygiene advantages,” said Capra. “National Tile Day is more than a preview of the latest trends; it is an opportunity to appreciate tile and its countless benefits as a leading, environmentally friendly building material.” (Coverings press release)
Capra will join a panel of industry experts during Coverings 2025 to discuss the year’s top tile trends at the “Global Tile Trends” session, Tuesday, April 29, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT. The presentation will feature a deep dive into the latest tile styles, supported by stunning tile visuals in numerous exterior and interior applications.
Coverings 2025’s top tile trends offered a peek of the most exciting product exhibits at this year’s show, and we’re excited that our new Marblique™ porcelain tile collection was chosen to represent one of the top ten tile trends, “Mosaic Artistry.” Without further ado, let’s look at some of Coverings’ top tile trends and the Crossville® tile collections that align with them.
Mosaic Artistry
“From café entrances to cathedral ceilings, mosaic tiles have long combined beauty and functionality, allowing designers to create personalized patterns and artistic statements. Today, mosaics are having a big (or rather, large format) resurgence. Porcelain panels with stone looks artfully cut together, either in geometric layouts or flowing organic designs, merge traditional mosaic artistry with modern durability and low maintenance. Whether handcrafted or large format, mosaic styles continue to transform surfaces large and small into captivating focal points.” (The Top Tile Trends of 2025 Revealed!)
Marblique™ Porcelain Tile
The four stone surfaces that comprise Marblique porcelain tile collections are rendered with unparalleled accuracy—both in looks and feel. This exciting new line with a FeatherSoft finish is an exotic, luxurious surfacing choice for residential and commercial design projects.

Colors of Sand
With a warm and often calming palette, the colors of sand are earnest and neutral, portraying the essence of a natural, earthy, and eco-friendly environment. Ceramic tile in the colors of sand gives rise to peaceful, relaxing, and eye-catching atmospheres.
Stone Fiction™ Porcelain Tile
Stone Fiction’s soft, swirling surface graphics and mild, infinitely matchable neutral color palette emulate what Mother Nature created in travertine’s distinct mineral deposits. Each porcelain tile convincingly reinterprets the stone’s naturally dramatic pits in subtle, easy-to-clean depth. This line is available in coordinating indoor-outdoor finishes for designs that flow seamlessly from indoors to out.

Holistic Experience
As technology becomes more integrated into homes, there’s a growing drive to reconnect with nature in design. With climate change top of mind, porcelain tile offers an ideal, moisture-resistant foundation for houseplants, while digital innovations allow for realistic organic textures, enriching spaces with a true biophilic feel.
Indoor-Outdoor Porcelain Tile Collections
Nothing enhances Biophilia more than designs that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. Crossville offers six collections with coordinating exterior finish porcelain tiles that allow designs to flow seamlessly from indoors to out: Beljn™, Rural Retreat™, Sociale™, Owen Stone™, Portugal™, and Stone Fiction.

Mineral Drenching
Color drenching takes a bold turn with the use of porcelain panels. Enveloping spaces in the rich tones and textures of marble, onyx, or travertine creates a seamless, striking effect. From floors and walls to countertops and furniture, marble-look tiles — whether bold black, grounding green, or luminous white — become the defining visual elements, transforming interiors into immersive, luxurious works of art.

Veins of Gold
Marble-look tile reaches new heights of luxury with the addition of gold. Creamy stone tones paired with rich golden veining create a warm, grand effect, while innovative glazes add subtle metallic reflections that balance brilliance with elegance.

Sensorial Design
Interior designers are going beyond the visual spectrum to craft spaces that engage all five senses. Thanks to advances in digital technology, ceramic tiles now authentically replicate natural textures, offering enhanced tactile and visual appeal. Naturally free of VOCs, ceramics also resist odors, contributing to a cleaner, more aromatic environment.
Visual Touch™ Technology
Bringing life to tile design with rich, textural realism is a revolutionary new manufacturing process called Visual Touch technology. As the name implies, Visual Touch is not just about visuals; tiles with this technology offer unparalleled accuracy, both in appearance and tactile sensation. Crossville’s Marblique and soon-to-launch Sand Garden™ both have this amazing new technology that produces materials with hyper-realistic outcomes and superior technical and aesthetic qualities.
