When it comes to high-end interiors, flooring and tiles lay the foundation for sophisticated design. We spoke with the experts at Alexandria Floor & Tiles to uncover the latest luxury flooring trends—from seamless, large-format porcelain slabs to the growing demand for durable, sustainable materials. Discover how texture, tone, and personalisation are redefining the spaces we live in.
What are the key flooring and tiling trends you’re seeing in luxury homes right now?
Large-format tiles (think 600 X 1200 or even larger) are being used for everything from floors to walls and even ceilings. These tiles create a sense of spaciousness and reduce the need for grout lines, which leads to a cleaner, more seamless look. Materials: Porcelain are trending over natural stone due to the minimal maintenance or sealing.
How is sustainability shaping the way we choose flooring and tiles in high-end builds?
Durability is a key factor in sustainability, and high-end buyers are choosing materials that are long-lasting and low maintenance. Materials like porcelain tiles and engineered wood are often selected for their ability to withstand wear and tear while maintaining their aesthetic appeal over time.
What roles can texture and pattern play in elevating luxury spaces?
Texture and pattern are amazing design tools, especially in luxury spaces. They can completely transform a room by adding depth and personality. In high-end design, these elements do more than just look good—they elevate the ambiance, create emotional impact in interiors.
In 2025, are you seeing a shift toward more seamless, minimalist flooring solutions, or is bold design still just as popular?
In 2025, there’s definitely a noticeable shift toward a more seamless, minimalist design. As design trends continue to evolve, many people are moving toward cleaner, simpler aesthetics that offer both functionality and practicality.
This year will also bring darker design elements including darker walls, marble tops and joinery.
What are some ways homeowners personalise their tile and flooring choices to reflect their individual style?
While neutral tones remain a popular choice, some clients are incorporating vibrant pops of colour into their designs. Boldly coloured tiles are an excellent way to create eye-catching accent features, such as backsplashes, feature walls, or floors, adding a unique touch of personality to any space.
What’s next in luxury floor and tile design, what should we be keeping an eye on?
The trend towards larger tiles and slabs is likely to continue, delivering seamless, monolithic aesthetics. Massive, floor-to-ceiling porcelain slabs, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, are offering more seamless and uninterrupted surfaces, making rooms appear more expansive and sophisticated. Tiles such as limestone, travertine, or plaster look are very on-trend in 2025.
