If you live in Northeast Philly, Roxborough, or Northern Liberties, you know your kitchen or bathroom says a lot about your home’s style—and resale value. At Philly Kitchen & Bath, we’re seeing exciting tile trends this year that bring beauty and function to your remodeling project.
1. Large-Format Porcelain Is Taking Over
Especially in Northeast Philly kitchens, homeowners are ditching subway tile for oversized porcelain slabs. These make for seamless backsplashes with fewer grout lines and a more modern aesthetic.
2. Terracotta Is Back—With a Twist
In Mount Airy bathrooms, we’re installing soft-hued terracotta tile in geometric shapes like hex and herringbone. It brings warmth and a timeless feel, perfect for older homes.
3. Patterned Cement Tile in Roxborough Kitchens
Statement floors aren’t going anywhere. In several Roxborough projects this year, we used bold, patterned cement tiles to give kitchens personality and color.
4. Waterproof Wood-Look Tile
Especially useful in basement bathrooms or mudrooms, this tile mimics woodgrain but stands up to Philly’s humidity. Check out EPA’s moisture-resistant material guide for more.
Why Tile Matters in Philly Homes
Our city’s mix of historic and modern homes means proper tile installation is critical—especially in crooked rowhouse bathrooms or small kitchens. Our crews are trained to prep surfaces, level substrates, and ensure long-lasting results.
