What Are The Different Styles of Tile Flooring for 2024? 

Now that you know the latest tile flooring trends and a bit about the types of floor tiles in style, we can tell you a little more about the different styles to help you pinpoint the best choice for your home project. Let's have a look at your tile options.

Subway Tiles

Subway tiles are traditionally used for walls, but the large tile versions are recently being used in bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom flooring projects. These tiles are commonly made of ceramic, but you can also find them in stone and glass.

These tiles offer a simple but classy design and come in different colors and sizes. Additionally, they are super easy to install, making them a favorite among those who want to DIY their tiling project.

Large Format Tiles 

Those looking to create a contemporary-styled home should consider large-format tiles. In 2024, large-format tiles that are 12x24 inches or larger will become increasingly popular in open spaces like kitchens, living rooms, master suites, and dining rooms.

These tiles are often made from ceramic, porcelain, or stone and can feature a sleek, clean aesthetic or be patterned. So, if you want stone floors or want to make your open spaces look even more expansive, large-format tiles are worth considering.

Mosaic Tiles

Mosaic tiles might be small, but they are mighty—mighty fine. Because they come in different sizes, colors, and patterns, they are commonly used to create intricate designs or visual interest in a home. They are often bright, elevating a space and giving it a vibrant feel.

Often made from stone, glass, or ceramic, mosaic tiles are the perfect accent to plain-style tiles or for small areas that you want to 'pop' in your home. If you want to liven up a bathroom or kitchen, consider mosaic tiles.

Marble Tiles

Do you want your home to exude luxury and class? If so, consider installing marble tile flooring. For hundreds of years, marble has been used as a decorative element in the home, and this has been translated into floors in 2024. Marble floor tiles are instantly recognizable by their distinctive veining and come in numerous colors to suit many spaces in a home.

In the past, marble tiles were used for entryways and bathrooms, but they are now used in all rooms of a house. However, you should note that although they look stunning in a home, they require routine maintenance to prevent etching and staining. Since they are more porous, they require more care, so they might not suit your lifestyle. If you have the time for the upkeep, go for it!

Granite Tiles

Granite might be expensive, but it is a durable and beautiful stone that is most commonly seen formed into kitchen and bathroom countertops. Yet, did you know it's becoming a sought-after flooring option in 2024? Nowadays, more and more people who want high-end flooring are turning toward granite.

Not only do granite floor tiles come in powerful neutral designs, but they can also be bought in stunning natural stains. This makes them highly decorative and suitable for most indoor high-traffic areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, studies, and bedrooms.

Granite tiles are also available in various patterns, colors, and sizes and can last a lifetime if proper care is taken. Fortunately, they are easy to maintain, so this shouldn't be a concern.

Travertine Tiles

If you have the budget for it and own a traditional or modern Mediterranean or Hispanic-style home, travertine tiles are worth a second look. These tiles are natural stone floors with warm tones and natural textured surfaces. They often lend a home a majestic appearance, especially if made from limestone and laid on patios, outdoor spaces, and walkways.

Besides being beautiful, travertine tiles are incredibly durable and relatively easy to maintain, which is unsurprisingly why they are favorites for outdoor areas and high-traffic areas. If sealed, they are also stain- and slip-resistant, so you won't need to worry about slipping and falling when they get wet or staining them.
