Home design trends come and go, so it’s important to consider your choices whenever remodeling or updating your home. While a wall color is easy to paint over and decor can easily be changed, flooring can be costly and time-consuming to replace. For this reason, it’s smart to go with a timeless tile flooring option.

Timeless tile and design stand the test of time, looking just as stylish and stunning 10 years from now as they do today. Below, you’ll find some of the best timeless tile flooring options for various spaces in your home.

Living Room

Porcelain and ceramic tile are two of the best timeless flooring options for any living room. These tile styles are resilient and available in various colors and designs, making it easy to find the perfect style for your space. These tile materials are easy to clean and offer a crisp, elegant look that will never go out of style.

When it comes to patterns, consider hexagon, stripes, diagonal, and checkerboards. If you have a more traditional home, consider basketweave styles or, for a more modern feel, a large-format porcelain tile like the Reflexion series (pictured above) provides a stunning look.

Kitchen floors need to be highly durable, as they endure a heavy amount of foot traffic and are subjected to plenty of food and beverages that end up being dropped or spilled.

For the perfect combination of practicality and beauty, go for brick-look or wood-look porcelain tile. These tile options mimic the look of real brick or wood but last longer and can match well with various interiors. Another benefit is that they are easy to keep clean!

Bathroom

Hexagonal tile, also called honeycomb tile, provides a bold look, and adds geometric visual interest to any bathroom. And while it’s a timeless tile flooring option, it also looks great as shower tile or a bathroom backsplash. Black and white hexagon mosaic tile is one of the most timeless tile styles and a stunning modern spin on this design is our Paros Black Hex, pictured above.

Penny tile is another classic bathroom tile flooring option. It’s visually appealing and is also a great choice for slippery areas because the grout around each tile makes the surface more slip-resistant. . Black and white are the most traditional colors for penny tile but there are many variations available for a more contemporary look. Check out our CS-Skyline Penny Round Mesh, a popular choice for bathroom flooring.

Entryway

Make a lovely first impression by using timeless and inviting stone flooring in your entryway. Whether it’s marble, granite, or limestone, natural stone has lasting beauty and creates a distinct organic warmth and texture that is truly unique.

If they’re well maintained, your stone surfaces can last a lifetime and bring an easy charm to your home’s atmosphere.

However, remember that natural stone benefits from periodic sealing. So, to keep your tile looking new for years to come, it is recommended to seal the stone once a year.

Dining Room

In addition to being a great option for entryways, natural stone is also a wonderful timeless flooring option for dining rooms. It brings a sense of luxury that will set your dining room apart and an organic warmth that will make everyone feel welcome while sharing a meal in your home. Our Basketweave Bianco marble floor tile is versatile and looks great in many different dining room designs.

Hardwood flooring is another stunning option for dining rooms but isn’t necessarily practical, given the amount of traffic that comes in and out of this space. A fantastic alternative that provides the look you want but is more practical than hardwood is wood-look porcelain tile. With this tile, you’ll enjoy a durable floor that combines beauty with a surface that is easy to clean and maintain. You won’t have to worry about spills or stains ruining your floor!
