Every year brings some new ideas and trends in home interior designs. As 2026 is about to arrive, it’s high time to talk about the home renovation trends, tiling ideas, and interior designs that are going to win in the coming year. Floor tiles play a vital role in the overall interior of your house and are most likely to need an upgrade. If you still have decades-old floor tiles and you are considering a renovation in the coming year, you must be aware of the new tiling trends.
Some floor tile designs are ever stylish, whereas some become outdated with time. As 2026 arrives, we at H&R Johnson are here to guide you through the top floor tile designs to consider for home renovation or upgrade in the coming year. This blog outlines some top considerations in floor tiles that are timeless yet modern.
Home Renovation Themes to Consider for Your Next Upgrade
- Minimalistic Themes: Minimalism has been a trend for several years now and it’s not going anywhere in 2026 as well. Many individuals prefer plain or minimalistic themes more than intricate and bold patterns today.
- Nature-Inspired Warm Interiors: Warm interior designs promote comfort and hence, are highly preferred in modern homes. For people planning a home renovation in 2026, warm colours like beige, browns, greys, etc, should be in consideration. Apart from this, greens combined with wooden textured are going to be in trend.
- Texture Combined with Craftmanship: While minimalistic themes stay in trend, there are people who prefer intricate art to be incorporated in their home’s interior. If you are one of them, you should go for interior themes that combine modern trends with artistic craftsmanship. The Expression Series of tiles from Porselano by Johnson has many such designs, especially under the ‘Etched,’ ‘Etched Relief,’ and ‘Relief’ categories.
Colours & Hues That Will be in Trend in 2026:
- Teals: Though the Pantone colour of the year 2026 is not yet officially announced, groups like WGSN have predicted the color will be "Transformative Teal.” So, we can expect it to be a significant part of interior designs in 2026. It’s a mix of blue and aquatic green, so colour shares around these hues can be in trend.
- Earthy Neutral Tones: Neutral tones inspired by earthy elements are also going to be in trend for the coming years. Instead of bright whites, colours like beige, warm browns, etc, would be preferred more.
- Vibrant Hues: For spaces that need a joyful vibe, bright and vibrant colours like Yellow, Muted Pink, Orange, etc, are the perfect choice. To achieve a balanced look aligned with the standards of modern interiors, you can consider combining these vibrant colours with light/neutral hues.
Floor Tile Designs That Will Be in Trend in 2026
Here is a list of top floor tile designs that will be loved in 2026 and beyond:
1. Realistic Nature-Inspired Designs
Nature-inspired tile colours and designs have always been among the list of top considerations for homeowners and builders. However, it’s not just about basic inspirations now. With the advanced tile technology, people now look for nature-inspired designs that look more realistic. So, rather than designs that look similar to a natural element, you can find floor tiles that exactly resemble earthy tones or the designs of other natural elements.
The Expressions series of tiles from Porselano by Johnson offers exactly that. Under this series, you can find high-quality glazed-vitrified tiles that are designed to reflect the beauty of different forms of nature. Explore all three collections (Crystal Reflections, Terra Surfaces, and Eternal Metalworks) to find the best naturalistic tile designs and choose one that goes well with the style of your home. Whichever of these designs you choose, it will definitely enhance the aesthetic appeal and feel of your house.
If you need nature-inspired floor tiles for outdoor areas of your house, such as the garden walkway, sitting area, verandah, pool deck, etc, you can check out Rockway Tiles from Endura by Johnson. These are vitrified tiles specially designed for residential and commercial outdoor spaces with high foot traffic and regular exposure to sunlight and extreme weather conditions.
2. Warm Tones with Rustic Finishes
Another emerging trend in floor tiling for homes is warm tones with rustic finishes. As home is a place for comfort and relaxation, warm colours work perfectly well there. Earthy shades such as beige, terracotta, light brown, and creams can make rooms feel more welcoming and visually soothing. If not for focal areas like living rooms, you can consider these shades for bedrooms to ensure a cosy and comforting feel.
Rustic finishes make the aesthetics even better as they provide a slightly textured appearance, ideal for creating interiors that feel cosy yet modern. These tiles work particularly well in bedrooms, kitchens, dining areas, and lounges. You can find a wide variety of tile designs with warm tones in H&R Johnson’s collection of floor tiles.
3. Wood-Look Flooring
Wood-look flooring has been in trend for several years now, and it is not going anywhere, at least not for a few upcoming years. So, wood-look floor tiles are among the safest options to consider if you are looking for a tile design that never goes out of style. Wood-look tiles work with living areas as well as bedrooms. So, whether you want a consistent look all across your house or need something warm yet modern for any particular space, wood-look floor tiles will work.
For a minimal look, you can explore wood-look vitrified tile designs from H&R Johnson’s 60x120 cm and 80x160 cm tile collections and the Royale or Elite collections from Porselano. If you want to create specific patterns like herringbone, vertical brick, or chevron, you can go for 20x100 cm and 20x120 cm wood-look tile planks from Poreslano by Johnson.
4. The Timeless Marble-Look Floor Tiles
If there is one tile design that works with every space and is always in trend, that is definitely the marble-look tile design. If you want that naturalistic marble flooring look, you don’t need to install the actual marble stone anymore, which is difficult to install, costly, and hard to maintain. You can find vitrified and glazed-vitrified floor tiles that exactly resemble real marble.
At H&R Johnson, you can find marble-look floor tiles in various sizes and colour options. For a more realistic look, it is advisable to go for light-coloured marble-look floor tiles. Also, choosing large sizes will give your floors a seamless look, making it look larger and modern at the same time.
5. Bold and Artistic Patterns
Minimalism is in trend, but it doesn’t work for everyone, and if you are one of those people, you must go for bold artistic patterns. One thing to keep in mind here is that bold and artistic floor tiles work best when combined with minimal wall tiles. So, if your walls are plain or if you have installed minimal tiles on your walls, bold colours and intricate artistic patterns are going to work best for your floors.
H&R Johnson’s floor tile collection features a wide variety of such artistic tiles in minimal as well as bold colours. From neutral colours like beige to bold black artistic floor tiles, you can find an option for every need and preference under H&R Johnson’s floor tiles and the Royale or Elite collections from Porselano.
6. Geometric and Abstract Pattern
Last but not least, geometric and abstract patterns are the best choices for those who prefer sophistication. If you are looking for trendy and sophisticated floor tile designs, you must consider these two patterns. Geometric patterns can be as minimal as linear designs or as bold as complex patterns made using different shapes. Go for whatever suits your style and interior design. Abstract patterns are perfect for those who need something beyond minimal, but not too bold.
Choosing the Right Floor Tile Design for Your Next Home Renovation
There are hundreds of tile designs and patterns to choose from in the market. Even if we filter out the best ones, we are left with a number of options as listed above. To make the right choice, you should think about the overall interior design and style of your house. If you are choosing floor tiles for a small space, you should go for light colours and minimal designs to avoid making the space look overwhelmed. However, if space is not a concern, you can even consider intricate patterns and bold colours if that goes well with your home’s interior.
If you want to give your home the best upgrade of all time in 2026, choose high-quality floor tiles from H&R Johnson that are not just the best in design, but also highly durable and easy to maintain.
