The Best Tile Sizes for Modern Interiors

In 2025, tile design is all about clean lines, spacious aesthetics, and smart material choices, and it all begins with tile size. Whether you're designing a sleek bathroom, a minimalist kitchen, or an open-concept living room, choosing the right tile size makes a huge difference in both style and function.

In this guide, we break down the best tile sizes for modern interiors in 2025, and how to apply them for the perfect finish.

Why Tile Size Matters in Modern Interior Design 

Tile size affects:

• How spacious or cramped a room feels.
• The flow and continuity of your design
• How easy or difficult installation and maintenance will be

In modern homes, where minimalism, clean finishes, and visual openness are key, tile size is not just about fit, but aesthetic balance.

 

Best Tile Sizes by Room Type

1. Living Rooms

Recommended Size: 60x60cm or 60x120cm

• Large format tiles make open-plan living spaces look even bigger.
• They reduce grout lines, creating a seamless, luxurious feel.

2. Bathrooms

Recommended Size:

Floor: 30x60 cm or 60x60 cm

Wall: 30x60 cm or smaller?

Use larger tiles for a spa-like effect, or combine with mosaics for niches and borders.

Vertical placement of 30x60 cm tiles can make ceilings appear higher.

3. Kitchens

Recommended Size:

Backsplash: 10x20 cm, 15x15 cm or mosaic sheets

Floor: 60x60 cm or wood-look plank tiles

Go for a mix of practicality and pattern. Smaller tiles or patterned layouts add personality while staying on-trend.

4. Hallways and Entryways

Recommended Size: 60x60 cm or 30x60 cm

These high-traffic areas benefit from medium-to-large format tiles that offer both durability and visual impact.

 

Tips for Choosing the Right Tile Size

• Match tile size to room size: Larger rooms can handle large tiles; small rooms benefit from 30x60 or smaller.
• Avoid too many grout lines: Choose larger tiles for less maintenance and a clean look.
• Use contrast wisely: Combine different sizes on walls and floors to create visual interest without clutter

Modern interiors are about harmony and simplicity, and tile size plays a big role.  Whether you're going bold with oversized 60x120 tiles or adding charm with small-scale feature tiles, the key is to use size strategically.
