Sustainable Yet Luxurious
Sustainability is more than a trend— as companies and homeowners prioritize luxury eco-friendly materials and designs, specifying eco-friendly materials has become a core design principle. Thanks to its earth-derived components, ceramic tile is one of the most sustainable surfacing materials available. It is also extremely long-lasting and easily recyclable. Architects and designers in 2025 are specifying with the planet in mind, and tile is a surface that ticks off all the boxes.
Carbon-neutral Native Metal porcelain tile captures the eternal luxury of patinaed minerals and ores in a refreshingly unique porcelain and resin tile line.
While designers do prioritize the specification of sustainable materials, aesthetics are still paramount. Inkjet printing and sophisticated finishing technology have revolutionized the ceramic and porcelain tile industry, enabling highly realistic imitations of other materials like wood, marble, natural stone, cement, brick, and more. These reproductions not only look authentic but also feature textured surfaces that feel real to the touch.
Like its Belgian limestone inspiration, Beljn™ carbon-neutral porcelain tile features the look of visible ancient fossils, corals, and white calcite veins, yet the collection is decidedly contemporary in color and sizing. The tile line has two finishes: unpolished, which features Crossville’s unique FeatherSoft™ finish for an extraordinarily touchable surface, and a bush-hammered style exterior finish designed for grand scale and high fashion in outdoor spaces.
Character & Texture
Current tile trends are about rich colors, varied materials, and lots of texture. Incorporating tile materials with character brings depth and warmth. Ceramic and porcelain tiles with an artisanal quality add unique character and form the foundation of a textured aesthetic. Textured tiles interact with light and showcase finishes, transforming spaces into refined, upscale settings.
Textured Tiles
Our Sociale™ porcelain tile collection features six luxurious natural stone looks that exude quiet elegance. Featuring Crossville’s FeatherSoft™ finish for extraordinarily touchable surfaces and an exterior finish for inside-out flexibility, Sociale is visually appealing yet practical.
The four stone surfaces that comprise Marblique porcelain tile are rendered with unparalleled accuracy—both in looks and feel. This exciting new line with VisualTouch™ technology is an exotic, luxurious surfacing choice for your residential design projects, yet durable enough to withstand the toughest commercial environments.
Tiles with Handmade Character
Inject character into spaces with our Handwritten™ wall tile collection. This ceramic tile line captures the nuanced look of artisanal tile in a product of consistent, quality execution. Handwritten’s range of shapes and sizes, as well as its robust color palette, invite custom patterns that interplay the bold hues and classic neutrals.
Glossy & Metallic
Tiles with metallic or high-gloss or finishes add a shimmering touch while highlighting artisan, handmade qualities. These glimmering tiles offer a chic, forward-looking flair.
Metallic Tile
Our Native Metal tile collection offers resin wall accents formulated with real metals and is available in two rectilinear decorative pieces — waves and dots. Shown in Champagne dots.
Glossy Tiles with an Artisan Vibe
Designer Diane Gordon incorporated our Handwritten™ glossy wall tiles in a Denver, Colorado bathroom remodel. With its nuanced look of handmade artisanal tile, the shower walls punctuate the entire design of the bathroom. Read the case study.
Each Cursive™ tile has a glossy handmade appearance with a watercolor effect around the edges. Cursive is available in nine trending colors, including Goldenrod, Rose Gold, Oxblood, and Ghost as shown here.
Checkerboard Chic
Checkerboard patterns are having a moment in interior design, appearing in paint, textiles, wallpaper, and ceramics/porcelain. The pattern has been a classic choice for centuries and has never truly gone out of style. The checkerboard floor is ideal for the popular “period modern” design—a style that blends traditional interiors with contemporary elements.
Retro Active 2.0™ porcelain tile answers any design challenge, including checkerboard! The line’s 13 through-body hues come in polished and unpolished finishes, as well as the linear pattern texture. Seven diverse sizes invite mixing and matching with modularity, and the ample trim package offers fully finished looks.
Mosaic Art
Mosaics are gaining renewed interest for their ability to personalize a space. From monochromatic schemes to complex patterns, tile design options are limitless with mosaics. Most Crossville® porcelain floor tile collections offer mosaic options, but we offer several ceramic and glass mosaic wall tile collections as well.
Convergence™ glass mosaics offer the look of end-grain woods awash in eight vibrant colors and cast in polished glass for a lustrous effect. The mosaics, mesh-backed in 12”x12” sheets, meld biomimicry with an artistic splash, bringing a natural visual and glamorous shine to designs.

Create unique and inspiring mosaics patterns with Cursive’s triangle tile, circle tile, half circle demilune tile, and more. This monochromatic mosaic tile pattern in Rose Gold makes for an elegant focal point.
Our Glass Blox collection’s expansive bright, neutral, and mosaic blends palettes range from gleaming jewel-tones to softly glowing neutrals to bring eye-catching light and life to walls. This gorgeous ombré mosaic backsplash is comprised of four shade variations of our Glass Blox glass tile. The design is part of a modern Tennessee farmhouse renovation envisioned by acclaimed designer Michelle Workman. Read the case study.
Warm Tones Take the Lead
2025 will see a move away from cool tones in favor of warmer varieties. Think wood and terracotta looks and textural tiles in hues that create a warm, grounded aesthetic.
Inspired by the timeless allure of live-sawn white oak, Rural Retreat™ porcelain tile brings a warm, earthy sophistication and a calming sense of harmony to any home. The 8″ x 48″ wood-look planks are available in an exterior finish for creating backyard sanctuaries, exterior entryways, and poolside retreats.
Fashion meets function —Bohemian style —with this terracotta-inspired all floor and wall tile line. Cotto Moderno™ porcelain tile brings forth the essence of the earth, transforming raw materials into art.
