2025 Summer Design Trends: Tile & Stone Styles That Are Heating Up
As the summer sun shines brighter, so do the latest design trends in tile and stone. At Ceramic Designs, we’re seeing homeowners embrace color, texture, and personality like never before. Whether you're dreaming up a bold kitchen backsplash or a spa-worthy shower, these 2025 summer design trends offer plenty of inspiration.
Coastal Blues & Playful Patterns
Blues are having a major moment, especially in kitchens! We’re seeing everything from soft powder blue cabinetry to vibrant, ocean-inspired tile. One standout this season is patterned blue backsplash tile, adding a layer of visual interest without overwhelming the space. Paired with white uppers or light quartz counters, it’s a crisp, clean, and classic combo that still feels fresh.
Mid-Century Modern Makes a Confident Comeback
Clean lines, warm woods, and functional design are at the heart of the mid-century modern revival we’re seeing this summer. In kitchens and bathrooms alike, clients are gravitating toward light oak cabinetry, flat-panel doors, and soft matte finishes that evoke a sense of calm, intentionality, and timelessness.
Gold hardware, minimalist silhouettes, and subtle earth-toned accents pair beautifully with terrazzo and marble-look countertops, adding texture without overwhelming the space. Paired with statement lighting and integrated open shelving, this look blends nostalgia with fresh utility, proving that mid-century modern isn’t just a trend, it’s a design philosophy that continues to evolve.
Natural Tones & Textures in Showers
Warm earth tones are showing up in more showers this year, often combined with bold stone slab walls or contrasting bands of mosaic tile. One of our recent projects used a copper-hued slate paired with a striking mosaic accent and niche, proving that even utilitarian spaces can feel luxurious and thoughtfully designed.
