Top Flooring Trends Oversized Tile

One of the top flooring trends on the market right now is oversized tiles. Available in various colors, styles, patterns, shapes, and sizes, these tiles are the perfect addition to all kinds of homes. But what makes these 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, large accent walls, or oversized walk-in showers. Common oversized tile sizes include 16x16, 18x18, 24x24, 12x24, and even 24x48, sometimes larger!

These tiles are the perfect way to make a room look and feel bigger and draw 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 these tiles are making waves is in flooring. Whether you have an open concept home with wide-open spaces or a unique layout that’s a bit more compartmentalized, large floor tiles can completely revitalize the look of an atmosphere. 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!

These colors, while permanent once installed, can suit a variety of design aesthetics 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!
