As we continue our celebration of National Tile Day and countdown to Coverings 2022, we have another 2022 tile trend to share with you.

This week, we are focusing on tile with organic textures.

While textured tile has been trending for a while, this year is somewhat different. Unlike the angular geometric patterns and textures we’ve seen in the past, organic textures look more as if they were created by hand — or even formed by a natural occurrence.

Perfect Imperfection: Handmade Tile

The organic, uneven surface of these  handmade tiles is matched by equally beautiful irregular coloring, called variegation. As each tile has a unique quality, the installation as a whole has an even more striking impression.

Raindrops on Tile

The mesmerizing dots of this textured tile have us imagining the pitter-patter of raindrops. Combined with the calming neutral colors and the leaf-like design on the adjacent wall, the organic texture helps create a perfectly tranquil sanctuary.

Wind-Rippled Tile

Can you hear the echo of the wind in this spacious master bath? Maybe not, but you can certainly see ripples that look as though they were created by wind on these gauged porcelain tile panels/slabs. The effect softens the otherwise minimalist design of the room.

River Rock Tile

If you’re fighting the urge to reach out and touch these mosaic tiles, you’re not alone. They remind us of rocks you’d find at the bottom or a river or stream — smoothed and rounded by the constant flow of water.

Wood Grain Tile

The woodgrain texture of this ceramic tiled wall doesn’t feel shaped by nature so much as taken straight from nature. The tile design has the look and color of wood and even the texture of end-cut wood grains.

Go Organic

These #organic looks lend visual interest and a sense of calm to any space, whether you go with a handmade or nature-inspired style.
