As design becomes more personal and less cookie-cutter, tiles are being used not just as a surface material but as a means of self-expression. From colorful hand-painted pieces to bold geometric patterns, tile is becoming a canvas.

Moroccan and Spanish-Inspired Designs Add Culture

Hand-painted tiles with Moroccan or Spanish influences are trending in both kitchens and bathrooms. Their intricate patterns and rich colors add character and sophistication to any space. In kitchens, they can be used as eye-catching backsplashes. In bathrooms, they might appear as a feature strip in a shower or around a vanity mirror.

These designs also tie beautifully into Arizona’s own cultural and architectural heritage. Homes with adobe-style elements or arched doorways pair especially well with this vibrant trend.

Black and White Graphic Tiles Make a Bold Statement

For homeowners who prefer a modern or minimalist approach, black and white tiles with graphic patterns are the way to go. These tiles are often arranged in repeating motifs—chevrons, diamonds, florals—and provide high contrast in neutral spaces.

They work especially well in small areas like powder rooms, entryways, or laundry rooms where a bold design element can have a big impact without overwhelming the space.
