Fresh from the floors of Coverings 2025 in Orlando, Ceramics of Italy has just unveiled its Spring-Summer 2025 Tile Trend Report, and it’s brimming with energy, craftsmanship, and soulful design. This year, Italian ceramic and porcelain tile is rewriting the rules of surfaces. It’s not just about finishes and formats anymore; it’s about feeling.

From sculptural forms to emotion-evoking palettes, these five top trends are setting a new standard for what tile can do in the modern home and beyond.

1. Kaleidoscope of Color

2025’s tiles come dressed in every shade of expression. Think terracotta reds, sun-washed yellows, Mediterranean blues, sage greens, and dusty pinks, each one carefully chosen to evoke emotion and tell a story. Italian brands are leaning into rich color blocking and full-room “color drenching,” where spaces are enveloped top to bottom in a single tone.

Bold and playful, this room uses yellow bubble tiles to create a statement wall that radiates optimism. The soft curves of the tiles give a retro pop-art vibe, perfect for a small powder room with personality.
