This year, we’re in love with fun, creative tile looks to add more natural, organic appeal in our homes. Between flooring, backsplash, showers, and more, there is endless opportunity to utilize tile in any room of your home. From natural stone to wood-look tile to monochromatic subway tile, it can serve a wide variety of design aesthetics and style preferences. Plus, both ceramic and porcelain tile is easy to clean and incredibly long-lasting, waterproof, and extremely resistant to damage and scratching, making it work in virtually any climate or room in your home.

Here, we’ve explored some tile looks we can’t get enough of, as well as some creative ways to install stone and tile throughout the home.

Classic Stone-look Tile

Natural stone tile is a classic choice for a home, a fact backed up by thousands of years of evidence. The styles in LL’s Avella line of tile are incredibly diverse in color, texture, and finish, and can suit a wide variety of styles depending on the look you’re going for—cozy, polished, modern, and more. 

For something warm and soft in appearance, the Sandstone Earth Porcelain Tile provides earthly, warm-neutral appeal, with sandy-brown hue and matte finish that brings sun-kissed landscapes into your home. The Renaissance Matte Porcelain Tile combines timeless grandeur with a modern matte finish to provide a sophisticated, luxurious look. And the Villa Bellissima Porcelain Tile’s textured surface and deep, rich details give a bold, earthy foundation to your space, whether installed indoors or outdoors.

Wood-look Tile

Want the look of wood, with the waterproof, scratch-resistant benefits of tile? We’ve got you. LL has a line of wood-look tile that closely mimics the appearance of hardwood, providing different grain types and colors to choose from. Whether you’re in search of lighter colors like the blonde-toned Perigord White Oak Porcelain Tile or the coastal Pristine Oak Porcelain Tile, or something darker like the Smoked Whiskey Oak Porcelain Tile, you can achieve the classic look of wood while having the long-lasting, easy-to-clean ease of tile.

Take the Subway (Tile)

If you’re in search of a clean, modern kitchen backsplash or tiling for your shower, look no further than classic subway tile. The Vivid White Subway Tile gives the iconic, simple look, and can be styled differently depending on size or alignment in the installation. For more classic elegance, the Carrara Subway Tile gives the upscale look of Italian marble.
