LAYERED TILES
Kitchens and bathrooms are set to become more expressive through the art of layering. Mixing tile sizes, finishes and textures- from matte to gloss, smooth to subtly ribbed- creates visual richness without compromising functionality, allowing spaces to feel curated rather than coordinated.

“ The use of multiple tile types is set to become a defining feature of bathroom design in 2026. Layering tiles naturally elevates a space, allowing you to introduce contrast through texture, finish and scale. By using more than two tiles, you create visual interest while subtly zoning areas such as showers, vanity walls and floors. These design choices often work on a subconscious level, guiding how the space is experienced without the need for physical divisions.”
