Floor Tile

Choosing the Right Floor Tile for Living Rooms

Floor tile needs to withstand daily foot traffic, moisture, and wear. The right material depends on where the tile will be installed, how much maintenance you want, and the look you're after. Our floor tile collection includes options rated for every application, from wet bathroom floors to high-traffic entryways.

Floor Tile by Material

Porcelain tile is the most versatile floor tile material - dense, low-porosity, and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Ceramic tile offers a budget-friendly alternative for lower-traffic areas. Natural stone tile including marble, travertine, slate, and limestone delivers unmatched character. Luxury vinyl tile provides a waterproof, cushioned floor at a lower price point.

Floor Tile by Look

Wood look tile gives you the warmth of hardwood with the durability of porcelain - ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where real wood is impractical. Marble look tile captures the veining and depth of marble without the maintenance. Stone look tile and cement look tile suit modern and industrial interiors.

Floor Tile by Room

Kitchen floor tile should be durable, stain-resistant, and slip-resistant. Bathroom floor tile must handle constant moisture - textured porcelain and pebble tile offer excellent grip. For shower floors, smaller-format tiles with more grout lines provide traction. Entryways and living rooms benefit from large format tile that minimizes grout lines and creates a seamless appearance.

Floor Tile by Format

Large format tile (24×24 and larger) is the leading trend in floor tile, creating expansive, modern surfaces. Hexagon tile and herringbone patterns add visual interest to floors. Standard 12×24 and 12×12 formats remain popular for their versatility and ease of installation.

What is the most durable floor tile?

Porcelain tile is the most durable option for floors. It has a water absorption rate below 0.5%, making it highly resistant to moisture, stains, and scratches. Rated porcelain tile can be used indoors and outdoors, including in freeze-thaw climates.

Can I use the same tile on my floor and walls?

Yes. Most porcelain and ceramic floor tiles can also be installed on walls. However, wall-only tiles should not be used on floors because they may not have the strength or slip resistance needed for foot traffic. Always check the tile's rated usage before installing.

Is porcelain or ceramic tile better for floors?

Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant than ceramic, making it better for high-traffic and wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. Ceramic works well in lower-traffic spaces like bedrooms and laundry rooms where cost savings are a priority.

What size floor tile makes a room look bigger?

Large format tiles (24×24, 24×48, or larger) with minimal grout lines make rooms feel more spacious. Light colors like white and beige also help open up a space. Laying tile diagonally or in a continuous pattern across rooms enhances the effect.
