Update Bathrooms With A Tile Trend That's Popular For All The Right Reasons

Replacing your bathroom wall tiles is a fun (and somewhat easy) DIY project that can make your space feel brand new without the need to completely renovate or mess around with plumbing and piping. After all, the average bathroom remodel costs a homeowner between roughly $6,000 and $17,000. Sticking to aesthetic shifts is a great way to save money. If you're looking for exciting, new bathroom tile ideas, you may be torn between lots of trends within the tile industry, from vivid colors to intricate shapes. One great way to enhance your bathroom is to go with the rising 2025 trend of textured tiles. 

The idea of textured tiles is quite vast and can include a lot of different patterns, shapes, materials, and cuts. A textured tile could be three-dimensional and feature patterns like waves or hexagons coming out and providing a tactile experience. Examples include the Art3D wave panels or tiles that are less polished and have more natural, tough surfaces. Textured tiles can also refer to tiles with complex beveling at the edges, such as the Merola Tiles beveled ceramic wall tiles, which are still smooth to the touch but come out from the wall in a dynamic way. The term also encompasses tiles with complex patterns on them like the Lovdeco Carrara marble mosaic tile. 

One of the many advantages of leaning into the textured tile trend is that you can easily add them to just about any bathroom space. For instance, if your bathroom is all white and you'd like to keep it as such, you don't need a bright color to add a fun, interesting vibe that enhances the room. You can instead opt for dynamic white tiles or marbled white tiles and avoid straying from your clean and fresh color palette. You can then mix textures and cuts — think hexagonal tiles for backsplash and wavy, three-dimensional tiles for the shower — all while sticking to the white theme. 

On the other hand, the popularity of textured tiles makes room for fun and funky bathroom choices that could include mixing colors. Choosing the right tile for your space can also mean finding complementary colors to what you already have or combining multiple hues of the same color. You can accomplish this with just about any color combination. Think about using other elements (like shower curtains and bath towels) to tie the room together. For instance, you could use sage green tiles in your shower and mustard yellow tiles around your sink area, then buy the Ambesonne floral shower curtain to make the color mixture make more sense in the space.
