Trending: Micro Mosaics & Square Tiles

By Floor & Decor

Micro Mosaics Making a Comeback

The mid-century modern look is a retro go-to for bathrooms and backsplashes. Micro mosaics were prominent in the 1960s during the dawn of pop art, thanks to tastemakers like Andy Warhol. From penny round tiles to glass and marble, small mosaic tiles accentuate grout lines and add playfulness to niche spaces.

Pro Tip

We recommend trying the trend on shower floors and walls for a functional and fresh look. Smaller tiles with more grout lines make shower floors naturally slip-resistant.

The Renaissance of Squares

Squares are a top-trending shape for tile and stone. The classic style in a marble checkerboard pattern adds a sense of luxury to the home, a nod to regal historic buildings. For more casual designs, artisanal square tiles create a laidback look. Square tile and stone are versatile for indoor and outdoor installations to give any space unexpected style.

Pro Tip

For a more dramatic look, emphasize the square shape with smaller tiles and alternating shades. The more contrast between tiles, the bolder the impact. For a more subtle approach, opt for larger tiles that match or are within a shade of each other for less contrast.
