Tile Style: 6 Imaginative And Modern Tile Patterns

Modern tile doesn’t have to look industrial and stark, especially tile looks created using modern methods like inkjet printing. With this new technology, there are no limits to the number of pattern creations. Porcelain tile can now include any design, from brilliant colors to minute details. Plus, a wide range of tile patterns can mimic brick, wood, natural stone, and even Old-World flair.

While they’re all unique, each pattern can perfectly complement the rest of your fresh and contemporary décor. No matter which printed tile you choose, you’re sure to end up with amazing results. But don’t take our word for it. Take a look at six of our favorite options that represent a perfect fusion of modern and traditional.

Aged Brick

Think outside the box by featuring a smaller patterned tile like La Fleur Kenzzi Porcelain on your floors. These 8x8 porcelain tiles, which are imported from Turkey, provide a modern update on European style. The floral encaustic look includes an elegant pattern in white and gray hues. Although the design isn’t overly ornate, it’s best to keep the rest of the room simple. Here, the smooth porcelain surface pairs perfectly with the soft white walls and sofa in this living area.

Beautiful Lines

For a high-end, natural stone lookalike with linear veining, consider Silver Eramosa Porcelain. This porcelain tile mimics natural Canadian limestone with its signature linear pattern, adding contemporary appeal to any space. It’s perfect for bathroom flooring because porcelain repels water, and also because the mixture of gray and greige offers a soothing, spa-like color palette.
