12 Kitchen Tile Trends to Follow in 2020 & Beyond
In 2020, kitchens are moving beyond the all-white palette that's been popular for the last several years. With creative tile designs, you, too, can add color and pattern to your kitchen. Whether you're looking to make small changes or entirely redo the space, read on to discover 12 of the hottest kitchen tile trends.
Dark, Rich Floor
If you can change only one thing about your kitchen, the floor might be the place to start. In a kitchen with white counters and cabinetry, dark tile flooring will create a can't-miss contrast. It can entirely transform the look of your kitchen.

Indoor Sunshine
2020 is all about color, and yellow is a great shade to choose. It's a happy, sunny hue that can lend a burst of cheerful confidence as you cook. Plus, it goes great with white, a color that may already be prevalent in your kitchen.
Twist on Subway Tiles
Rectangular subway tiles have been popular for kitchen backsplashes in recent years. Although this trend isn't going anywhere right now, some homeowners are choosing to mix things up a bit.
For example, arranging subway tiles in a zigzag pattern will give you a herringbone design. It's easy to achieve that look with Blanch Sabba tiles, as seen in the photo below.

Backsplash Bouquet
If you're ready for an entirely new backsplash look, then forget geometric tiles altogether. Instead, opt for this year's floral trend.
Flowered backsplashes work with more traditional kitchen designs as well. This beautiful mosaic comes from our Cucina line.

Eye-catching Veining
Carrara marble has been a hot-ticket item for years. In 2020, though, there's another major player in the marble game: Calacatta. This up-and-coming marble features beautiful swaths of veining. Whether you use Calacatta marble on the walls or the floors of your kitchen, it's sure to catch eyes.

Make It Green
If you're looking for a new accent color for your kitchen, think about green. From bright, grassy shades to soft, earthy ones, green is a popular shade for kitchens this year.
One reason that green is such a beloved color is that it reminds people of the great outdoors. You can bring a touch of nature into your kitchen with a beautiful mural. This Glow Tiama mosaic features lush green plants.
Rainbow Backsplash
Why settle for one color when you can use many? The backsplash is a fantastic place to highlight a full prism of colors.
Of course, you don't need to include every color under the rainbow. Check out the Sage version of our Providence tiles. The blues and greens are just right for brightening up your kitchen without going overboard.

Brick Style
Brick walls are a modern kitchen trend with an old-world feel. You don't need to use real bricks to achieve this look. The right tiles can do it just as well.
Wood and Stone
Homeowners are choosing wood for their counters and cabinetry. What goes well with this rustic material? Natural stone! For a cozy, comfortable feel, pair grainy or reclaimed wood with hand-cut tile.
Copper Accents
You may find copper and other kinds of metal popping up all over kitchens this year. It's a great accent metal to use for drawer pulls, sinks, lighting fixtures and more. A pot rack with copper pans can make for a stunning focal point. If you get on board the copper trend, consider installing flooring to match.

Big, Big Backsplash Tiles
Large tiles usually belong on the floor, but this year, we're moving them to the walls. Expect to see backsplashes made from big tiles this year. Keeping the backsplash simple lends a sleek, modern look to the kitchen. This is an enormously flexible design; you can use dark tiles or light ones, veined tiles or monochrome ones.

Patterned Flooring
While floor tiles are moving onto the walls, traditional wall patterns are moving to the floor. Using a bold, colorful pattern on the floor is a great way to dress up a mostly white kitchen. To try it, look for tiles that remind you of a homey throw rug, like the Aroma pattern from the Univo line.
2020 is the year of color, pattern and texture in the kitchen, and tile is the way to achieve those goals. Start dreaming about how you can use these kitchen tile trends to update your home this year. Then, reach out to our team at Artsaics for help from our experienced tile artisans.
