In 2025, interiors are inspired by nature, featuring warm, earthy tones accentuated with brown, terracotta, ochre, and soft reds. These colours create spaces that feel grounded and tranquil, making them perfect for both modern and traditional homes. Materials like clay, wood, and linen are integral to this trend, emphasizing a connection to the earth and sustainability.
Tile Styles to Consider:
Terracotta Tiles: Classic terracotta tiles bring a sense of warmth and authenticity. Use them in kitchens, entryways, or even as a bathroom feature floor.

It’s all about creating spaces that feel organic and calming while maintaining a sense of modernity.
Tile Styles to Consider:

3. Embracing ‘70s Cool
Groovy Santana Tiles
The 1970s are back in style, but with a refined twist. This trend emphasises rich earth tones, playful patterns and a sense of retro fun. Think mustard yellow, burnt orange and forest green, paired with teak furniture and statement lighting. Velvet upholstery, shag rugs and macramé accents add depth and texture, making spaces feel warm, lived-in and irresistibly cosy.
Tile Styles to Consider:
Terrazzo Tiles: Terrazzo with its speckled charm, perfectly embodies the ‘70s aesthetic. Choose tiles with vibrant chips of colour to add a retro yet contemporary flair to floors and walls. Twin Palms Terrazzo comes in a variety of colours including sand shown below.
Geometric Patterns: Bold, geometric tile designs in complementary hues can capture the era’s playful spirit while adding a sophisticated edge. Here you can See Groovy Ringo, a 70's inspired 15x15cm porcelain tile.
4. Quiet Luxury
Quiet luxury is the epitome of understated elegance. This trend focuses on high-quality materials, fine craftsmanship and neutral palettes. It’s about creating spaces that feel refined and timeless without being ostentatious. Expect to see plush fabrics, muted tones and subtle textures.
Tile Styles to Consider:
Marble effect tiles: Exude sophistication with naturalistic veining and a polished finish. Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens or fireplace surrounds.
Palladium Marble features interesting veining with warm brown and anthracite accents, and pairs beautifully with warm woods.
Limestone: Tiles with a natural textural quality sit so beautifully with classic furniture pieces in this style of setting. Manor house Limestone has an understated, organic quality that is the perfect backdrop to leather, metal and timber elements.
5. Personalization and Storytelling
Interiors in 2025 are all about telling a story. Homes are becoming increasingly personalised, reflecting the individual’s journey, passions and memories. This eclectic trend encourages a mix-and-match approach, with unique, one-of-a-kind pieces taking centre stage.
Tile Styles to Consider:
Artisanal tiles: With their slight imperfections and unique glazes, you can add a bespoke touch to any room with handmade effect tiles.
