When it comes to remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, tile is one of those rare materials that combines beauty, durability, and versatility. Whether it’s a gleaming backsplash, a spa-like shower wall, or a statement floor, tile can completely transform a space.
At Fischer Restoration & Remodeling, we’ve seen how the right tile choices can turn ordinary rooms into extraordinary ones. Here are some of the most exciting tile trends shaping design in 2026 — and why they’re worth considering for your next remodel.
1. Large-Format Tiles
Small tiles are making way for large-format styles, and homeowners are loving the results. With fewer grout lines and a more seamless appearance, oversized porcelain tiles make spaces feel sleek and spacious.
These tiles aren’t just about aesthetics — they’re practical, too. Porcelain is moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and incredibly durable, making it a smart choice for both kitchen floors and shower walls. If you’re after a modern, low-maintenance look, this trend is one to watch.
2. Add Depth with Texture
Smooth, glossy tiles will always have their place, but texture is the new star. From fluted tiles with subtle vertical grooves to 3D sculptural patterns, these surfaces add depth and dimension that catch the light in all the right ways.
You don’t have to go all in, either. Try using textured tiles as an accent wall behind a vanity or a backsplash behind the stove — just enough to add visual interest without overwhelming the space.
3. Nature-Inspired Colors and Finishes
This year’s tile palettes draw inspiration straight from nature. Think warm, earthy tones — terracotta, clay, olive green, and soft sand. These hues create a calming, organic feel that works beautifully in both rustic and modern settings.
Pair them with matte or honed finishes to enhance that natural look, or balance them with sleek fixtures and bright accents for a modern contrast.
Tip: Natural stone tiles like marble or limestone are timeless, but new porcelain options now mimic their beauty while offering greater durability and less maintenance.
4/ Pattern Play
If you’re ready to make a statement, patterned and geometric tiles are the way to go. Bold shapes like hexagons, diamonds, and arabesques bring personality to kitchens and bathrooms alike.
Designers are also reimagining classic layouts — such as the checkerboard floor — with unexpected colors or oversized shapes. For a subtler approach, consider mixing different sizes or finishes of the same tile for a layered effect that still feels cohesive.
5. Terrazzo’s Modern Revival
Once a mid-century favorite, terrazzo is back — and bolder than ever. Today’s terrazzo tiles use larger marble and glass chips in a range of colors, from muted neutrals to vibrant blues and greens.
Terrazzo offers a playful yet polished aesthetic that works beautifully on bathroom floors, shower walls, or even kitchen islands. It’s also incredibly durable, making it a fun and functional way to add character to your remodel.
6. Sustainable Style
Homeowners are more eco-conscious than ever, and tile manufacturers are taking note. Recycled glass, low-VOC ceramics, and eco-friendly porcelain options are becoming increasingly available — without compromising on style.
Choosing sustainable tile not only helps the planet but often results in truly one-of-a-kind finishes, since many recycled materials produce unique textures and tones.
7. Luxurious Finishes
For those who love a little drama, rich, glossy finishes are stealing the spotlight. Emerald green, sapphire blue, and deep amber tiles can transform a bathroom into a retreat or make a kitchen backsplash shine.
Meanwhile, onyx-look porcelain offers a high-end, luminous effect that captures the beauty of natural stone — but with greater durability and easier upkeep. The result is elegance that lasts.
