The biggest tile trends of summer 2026

Stone Look Tiles

A trend that continues to grow in popularity, stone look tiles remain a standout in modern tile trends for 2026. Thanks to ongoing advancements in digital tile technology, these tiles deliver the authentic appearance of natural stone without the maintenance challenges. Ideal for both contemporary homes and commercial spaces, stone look tiles are stain resistant, slip resistant, and require no sealing—making them a practical summer tile choice.

• Stylish: available in endless variation of colours, textures and sizes, there’s a stone-look tile option to suit everyone.
• Versatility: applicable to various surfaces, stone-look tiles are highly durable, as well as being less porous and heavy than natural stone, meaning there are no limits for use.
• Low maintenance: Great for high use surfaces and areas like bathrooms and kitchens, these tiles can withstand wear and tear, retain their original condition for longer and are moisture resistant. 
• Affordable: great quality tiles at a low price, stone look tiles are less laborious to install and made from porcelain, resulting in both lower production and installation costs. 

Timber Look Tiles

Timber look tiles continue to play a major role in modern tile trends, offering the warmth of natural wood with the durability of porcelain. In 2026, these tiles are increasingly used in moisture-prone spaces like bathrooms and laundries, where traditional timber isn’t practical. Their waterproof nature and scratch resistance make them a smart summer tile solution for busy households.

Our pick this summer:

• MyWood Miele: an affordable Italian tile that is both maintenance free and pet proof, while still providing a fresh and timeless look (also available in two other colours). 

Decorative Tiles

Decorative tiles are firmly established within today’s tile trends, with homeowners seeking personality through texture, shape, and colour. Perfect for splashbacks and feature walls, decorative tiles add depth and visual interest while acting as a focal point. As a summer tile choice, they’re ideal for refreshing kitchens and bathrooms with minimal structural change.

We recommend:

Artisan Snow Brillo or Artisan Snow Matte: a traditional handmade tile look, great for a feature wall in the kitchen or bathroom. Each tile’s random multi coloured shade ensures every project is different.
