Top 15 Backsplash Tile Trends of 2025
Whether you’re obsessed with white kitchen backsplash ideas to match your white cabinets or you’re feeling adventurous and are looking for modern kitchen tile ideas, 2025 is your year.
The trends emphasize using tiles of bold colors, choosing tiles of various materials, and not being afraid to get creative and play with different patterns and finishes. Let your imagination run wild with endless possibilities. As for the specific 2025 trends, here are the top 10 to keep in mind.
1. Consider the Classics
First, classic ceramic and porcelain tiles are timeless beauties that stay in style. Affordable and easy to install, you can’t go wrong with our selection of these backsplash tiles. From our Ridge White Matte Ceramic Tile to our Seattle Hexagon White Matte Porcelain Tile, we have a range of classic tiles in line with the backsplash trends of 2025.
2. Out with Matte, In with Glossy
Among the top trending backsplash ideas for 2025 are glossy tiles. Installing our Illusion Alabaster White Glossy Porcelain Tile is a great way to make your kitchen look brighter, more sophisticated, and more spacious. Glossy tiles reflect light and distribute it around the room with their smooth, reflective surface, and they’re easy to clean.
3. Mix Up Your Materials
Traditionally, using more than one type of tile for a kitchen backsplash was unheard of, but that won't happen in 2025. You should mix your materials to give your backsplash a distinctive look and be the talking point the next time you have guests over! If you can’t choose between our Ilusion Providence Rippled Bar and our Art Studio Kruger Lake Green Glass and Metal Tile, why not create your perfect backsplash by mixing and matching both?
4. Glass is Great
Of the kitchen tile trends for 2025 is a massive increase in the popularity of glass tiles used as part of kitchen sink backsplashes. Along with being available in many unique and bold colors, such as our Victorian Icon Neo Teal Green Glossy Glass Tile, glass tiles are also available with mosaic designs, meaning you can create a work of art behind your sink.
5. Subway Behind Your Sink
Though subway tiles are often used in other parts of your home, in 2025, that will change as floor tiles are being incorporated into backsplashes. Subway tile backsplashes are becoming very popular. One of the most modern kitchen backsplash ideas is to use subway tiles that are boldly colored, like our Denver Brick Green Glossy Porcelain Tile. Combined with neutral-colored tiles, it will make a statement in 2025.
6. The Natural Look
While white tiles will remain extremely popular in 2025 kitchens, so will colors that exude a natural feel. Our Phoenix Brick Taupe Glossy Porcelain Tile or our selection of beiges make them the third most popular color for 2024 kitchen backsplash trends after grey and white.
7. Deep and Moody Colors
Many designers predict that green will be the year's color in 2025. Our illusion Aegean Green tiles can create a moody and dramatic backsplash. Our selection of green tiles features anything from saturated green and vibrant shades to more subdued shades, incorporating a bit of gray into the tile surface.
8. Higher and Higher
One of the latest backsplash trends in 2025 that became popular this year is full kitchen wall backsplashes. Before embarking on your kitchen renovation, ask yourself if you’ll have enough storage space after you remove your upper kitchen cabinetry. This is a fantastic way to make a statement using large patterned or mosaic tiles such as our Greek Key Black and White Tile to create a stunning look and feel for your kitchen.
9. The Rolling Stones
No, we don't expect you to have pictures of Mick and Keith on your kitchen backsplash, although, who knows, that may be a trend in 2025. However, the 2025 trend is using stone tiles to add texture and style to your kitchen. Whether you use tiles with a weathered finish, such as our Mount Zion beige polished stone, or ones with an acid-wash look, your kitchen backsplash will look spectacular with stone tiles.
10. Matching Marble
While a simple matte look for your kitchen floor tile is always a great idea, you may want to follow a hot kitchen trend for 2025 and use marble-look tile for your backsplash. This is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners who want their kitchen backsplashes to match their countertops. Marble-like tiles such as our Condal Gold Polished Porcelain Tile give the appearance of making a smooth and seamless transition from one part of the kitchen to another. Porcelain is an excellent option as it can be crafted to look just like marble without the high price tag.
11. Wood-Like Tiles
Like our Bengala Walnut Brown Porcelain Tile, another popular kitchen backsplash idea is to decorate with wood-like tiles. Wood adds a rustic appeal and tremendous warmth to your kitchen space. Our wood-like tiles provide the material's natural beauty with the added moisture resistance and durability needed in busy areas such as kitchens.
12. Textured Tiles
One of the latest backsplash trends for 2025 is textured tile, such as our Decko Neo Wright Blue Elongated Haxagon tile. Homeowners can't get enough textured tiles from 3D wave and fluted tiles to 3D mosaic backsplashes.
13. Brick or Natural Stone
Another way to add texture to your kitchen is by adding a brick or stone backsplash. It doesn’t have to be authentic brick. Instead, it can be a brick-looking material like our Seattle Brick White Porcelain Tile. Brick and natural stone add character and contrast beautifully with modern cabinetry.
14. Hexagon and Penny Tiles
Different-shaped tiles are a great way to update the look of your kitchen and a backsplash trend in 2025. Whether you’re looking to update your outdoor kitchen or indoor, hexagon-shaped tiles such as our Noon Siesta Grey Porcelain Tile or Spheres Fresh Mint Blue Penny Round glass tile are great examples of this trend.
15. Different from the Floor
One of the biggest mistakes people make when choosing tile for your kitchen backsplash is to make everything match. Not only does it date your space, but of all the reasons homeowners give for loving backsplashes, an overly coordinated look in the kitchen isn’t one of them. Consider the 2025 kitchen backsplash tile ideas featured in this article, and ask yourself if one would look good in your space.
