Is your floor in desperate need of a modern update? Rid yourself of regrettable retro trends—goodbye shag carpet!—and embrace the best of 21st-century decor with these five fashionable tile patterns. From chic checkerboards to expansive large-format tile designs, these contemporary styles will transform your kitchen, bathroom, great room, or entryway with looks you’ll love for years to come.
A classic motif that’s making a strong comeback, checkerboard tile floors are a style checkmate! Featuring alternating square tiles, this versatile pattern can be created with any two distinct tile styles of the same size. Elevate the look with beige and white marble, black and silver limestone, or a vibrant-and-muted color combo. For a twist, install traditional black-and-white tiles diagonally—like in this charming modern kitchen. The experts at Gainey Flooring Solutions can help you select a winning combination for your space.
Named for the storied French Palace of Versailles, where it gained popularity, the Versailles tile pattern is a modern style with historic roots. Composed of rectangular and square tiles, this geometric layout brings dynamic movement to your floors—especially when using natural stone tiles with rich details, like in this elegant kitchen.
A grand design that is magnificent in an entryway, tile medallions are experiencing a modern resurgence. This style allows you to showcase your exquisite taste with a custom motif crafted from intricately cut tiles. This artistic circular tile medallion is perfect for highly visible floors, such as in a foyer or dining room. Due to its complexity, professional installation is a must. With over 25 years of experience, Gainey Flooring Solutions will ensure this statement-making feature is flawlessly executed.
One of the biggest trends in interior design is creating spaces that feel expansive and cohesive. Defined as any tile with at least one side measuring 15 inches or more, large-format tiles can go up to 48" x 48". With fewer grout lines, large-format porcelain tiles can mimic the appearance of a single slab of stone or concrete—delivering a sleek, contemporary look with superior durability and easy maintenance. Wood-look options are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, where real wood might absorb moisture or harbor bacteria.
Surprisingly, small-format mosaic tiles can also make a space feel larger. They're ideal for bathrooms and showers, where the extra grout joints provide traction to help prevent slipping—especially when using high-grip stone or porcelain. Mosaic tiles come in a wide range of styles and materials, so it’s easy to find one that fits your aesthetic. Whether you're updating for style or aging in place, mosaics offer lasting beauty and function.
Trends may come and go, but when you choose a tile pattern you truly love, your floor will never go out of style. The experts at Gainey Flooring Solutions are here to help you update your space with the latest in design and innovation. Schedule a free in-home consultation today to get started.
