If you're looking to upgrade a kitchen backsplash or a bathroom with new wall or floor tile, there are countless options to choose from. However, you want to make sure you choose something that fits current trends but that you'll love for years to come. If you're not sure where to begin, consider some of the options below. 

What Are the Most Popular Tile Trends for 2022? 

1. Mix-and-Match 

When it comes to choosing colors and tile shape, not everything has to match exactly. For instance, if you want all tile in the bathroom, you can choose the same color but different shapes. Place subway tile in the shower and hexagon for the floor tiles. This provides a semblance of uniformity without feeling too repetitive. 

In terms of colors, you can pair complementary colors or stack different shades of the same color. If you want something bold to pop, use it on a single wall for a bathroom or for an insert in a kitchen backsplash. 

2. Pick One Color

If you want something that stands out more, particularly in the bathroom, you can choose a single color for all the tile. The most popular option continues to be white, since a brighter color might be more dramatic than you want. However, you can always choose an accent wall if you want a color that stands out more, like black or red. 

3. Contrasting Tile Placement

While it's been more popular in the past to have uniform tile placement—each tile lined up perfectly with the one above it—that's been changing this year. Placing vertical tiles in blocks to contrast horizontal tiles creates a dynamic setting in any room. For instance, a horizontal floor tile in the kitchen juxtaposed with a vertical backsplash will create an interesting focal point for the room.
