You can achieve this popular look in your bathroom with mosaics that include pieces of cut glass or mother of pearl.

Texture That Pops
To really make a statement, look into tiles with dimensional elements. Bumpy, patterned and grooved tiles are all the rage right now.
From molded chair rails to soft throw blankets, texture in interior design is nothing new. Decorators know that incorporating textural elements into your room lends depth and interest.
To emphasize your textured tiles, limiting your color palette is usually best. In a monochromatic or neutral scheme, the texture can truly shine. Check it out in our show-stopping Dimension tiles., which feature just a hint of gray.
Think Big
Tiny tiles are great for creating intricate designs and mosaics, but large tiles have their place as well. In fact, this year, many people are convinced that big is the way to go. Oversized tiles are taking bathroom design by storm.
Check out the impressive statement that the big limestone tiles make in the photo below.

Beyond the Rectangle
Geometric patterns are in demand this year, and homeowners are opting for slightly more unusual shapes instead of basic squares and rectangles.
One of the most popular shapes is the hexagon. Diamonds are another great geometric figure to try.
Bold in Black and White
Eye-catching floor tiles in neutral color palettes are popular right now. The basic color scheme allows the tile arrangement to pop. Black and white are a classic pair, but you could also use grays or browns for this idea.
Green and Coral
Pantone chose coral as 2019's Color of the Year, so it's no surprise that this shade is still a hot commodity. It looks especially good paired with sage green.
You could go very warm and bright with these shades, but that runs the risk of the style looking dated in a few years. Opting for a slightly more muted scheme may give you a palette with more staying power.
Beautiful, Beautiful Blue
Coral was last year's Color of the Year, and this year's is Classic Blue. According to Pantone, this shade reflects peace and stability.
Why not consider blue for your bathroom design, then? Check out the beautiful watery blue of this bathroom floor that we designed.

Natural Effects
Another trend to consider is infusing your interior designs with natural, outdoor elements. Wood and stone are particularly popular. You can mimic these looks with wood- or stone-finish tiles. Of course, you can also use tiles made of real stone.
We carry a wide variety of stone tiles in many different shades. Our Marble Tile line is a good example.

Lush Foliage
Flowers and leaves are popular motifs right now — the bigger, the better! Homeowners are including oversized vines, palm fronds and other flora in their bathroom decor.
This bathroom mural is another excellent example. It even features the coral-pink color that's so popular in 2020.
Playful Patterns
Think tile is only for traditional looks? Think again! In 2020, tile designs are channeling a fun vibe that reflects decorating styles from 50 or 60 years ago. As you explore tile layouts, you may come across geometric patterns and funky layouts that make you nostalgic for a bygone era.
You'll find fun patterns like this in our Univo collection. There's an example of Univo Arbor behind the bathtub in this room. Notice that it uses the mossy green that's so on-trend right now.
