Top Flooring Trends Oversized Tile

One of the top flooring trends on the market right now is oversized tiles. Available in tons of colors, styles, patterns, shapes, and sizes, oversized tiles are the perfect addition to all kinds of homes. But what makes oversized tiles so trendy and unique? Primarily, their size.

Tile is considered large format or oversized once it’s beyond the typical 12x12 size. Anything smaller than 12x12 is usually used for flooring, walls, as part of a mosaic, or even a backsplash, whereas large format tiles are best used for flooring and large accent walls or oversized walk-in showers. Common oversized tile sizes include 16x16, 18x18, 24x24, 12x24, and even 24x48, sometimes larger!

Oversized tiles are the perfect way to make a space look and feel bigger, and for commanding attention to a room. Thanks to fewer grout lines, the larger tile size helps make walls look seemingly endless. If you are looking for a way to stay on top of current tile trends, opting for an oversized or large format tile is a great choice. Not only will it last for years to come, but it will also show off your keen sense of interior design!

Large Floor Tiles

One of the ways oversized tiles are making waves is in flooring. Whether you have an open concept home with wide-open spaces or you have a unique layout that’s a bit more compartmentalized, large floor tiles can completely revitalize the look of a space. Because there are fewer overall tiles used, spaces look more open and more polished with large floor tiles. What’s better? Oversized floor tiles are adaptable to nearly any design style, whether you want the perfect industrial look, a Scandinavian minimalism feel, a modern farmhouse style, or something completely unique!

Large Wall Tiles

Oversized wall tiles are stealing the show on accent walls all over the place. They can quickly unite a space thanks to their sheer size and striking look, while also providing an element of awe. For a design that’s simple but perfectly stated, check out neutral-colored large format wall tiles like beiges, grays, or even deep charcoal and black. These colors, while permanent once installed, can suit a variety of design styles so you won’t have to worry about changing design trends. For a brighter, more fun accent wall using large wall tiles, think about something with texture or color. Either option is perfect for creating that perfect combination of unique design and flair in any home!
