12 Tile Brands To Consider For Your Next Remodel

Planning for a home remodel may be the best part of the process. As Jack Donaghy would tell Liz Lemon on the hit TV show "30 Rock," "There are no bad ideas in brainstorming," and the same applies to remodel brainstorming. This is the time for new Pinterest boards, Instagram deep dives, and helpful explainers to prepare you for what's to come. In this golden time before the stress sets in, buyers can start familiarizing themselves with companies that manufacture materials they're not used to buying, such as tile. Unlike clothing or other home goods, most consumers are less familiar with these makers. First-time remodelers wouldn't have a reason to buy the product, and manufacturers usually advertise to builders and interior designers instead of consumers.

Tile can be an especially fun part to plan for in the remodeling process. With so many sizes, colors, and styles, the material offers a unique opportunity for adding creativity and self-expression to a bathroom, kitchen, or any other room in the home. Different producers also bring different benefits to the table. Some manufacturers send free samples, while others specialize in producing glass or ceramic tile. If you know your budget, then it's a good idea to get to know the manufacturers that fit your bottom line. To get you started on this process, here are 12 brands to consider for your next remodel.

Modwalls aims to bring colorful designs to homes in all corners of the U.S. Founded in 2005, they were one of the first online tile companies. If getting to a showroom is difficult, then Modwalls might be a good solution as samples are available for purchase. The company specializes in modern patterns and mosaics, and offers tiles made from porcelain, glass, and ceramic. Contemporary and especially mid-century modern lovers will appreciate the colorful tiles and the playful designs that will instantly make their homes feel vintage.

The tile producer offers several other benefits beyond its online-first approach. Several of its collection are handmade in the U.S., great for U.S. buyers who might need tile sooner rather than later. The company also has custom mosaic tile collection available in both glass and porcelain. Buyers can choose their own blend of colors to match their projects and then design exactly how they want them laid out. All tiles are hand assembled in Aptos, California. Modwalls' site also publishes its own design blogs, which offer plenty of inspiration if you're stuck.

It's easy to think of tile as just a building material, but for those who have worked in the industry for so long, it's an art form. That's how Deborah Osburn felt about it when she started her "Tile Envy" blog. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Osburn documented online the unique, the obscure, and the beautiful in tile making. She developed a strong following that frequently asked her how they could buy the tile she featured. In response, she started selling them out of her garage. Thus clé was born.

For buyers looking for a work of art in their tiling, look no further than clé's collaboration with Ruan Hoffmann, a South African artist based in Amsterdam. Each 12-by-12-inch tile in this 45-piece collection has a unique design on it — no blank, monochromatic tiles here. Lines swirl, and some tiles even have writing on them. The "much love me" design stacks figure eights with blue shading on a white background. Each swirl has dot-like designs inside. When paired with other tiles in the collection, the effect would be especially striking as an accent wall.

We've all been there: waiting until the last moment to make a decision. Putting off ordering tile happens to even the best project managers and is a major mistake to avoid when tiling, but you don't want to hold up the work being done on your home. That's where Fireclay Tile's quick-ship program shines. Its selection of ceramic, brick, and glass tiles ship in five days or less, so you can start your project on time. Not exactly what you wanted? Fireclay accepts returns from their quick-ship program, minus the cost of shipping. The program has a great mix of products and styles that even those in a rush will find something to love.

Don't think you'll be stuck with boring neutrals in this program. The Adriatic Sea Gloss ceramic tile brings a serene, cerulean feel to bathrooms. Available as a 2-by-8-inch subway tile and a 4-by-4-inch square, the pieces have a rippling effect so the room won't look too monochromatic. Other color variations for this style include a greenish Rosemary Gloss and a dusty pink called Cardamom Gloss. If you have an extra week or two to decide, samples can also be ordered.

There are some potential benefits for consumers looking to prioritize tiles that are manufactured in the U.S. Some may be cheaper, as they won't be subjected to importing costs. They may also arrive sooner if they don't have to come from a warehouse overseas. Arizona Tile offers a great selection of these U.S.-made porcelain and quarry tiles on its website and in its 25 showroom locations. Founded in 1977 and still family-owned today, the company has received rave reviews from Houzz users who praise its wide selection and very friendly staff.

Fans of neutral shades will find plenty of love in the Made in USA group. Its Touch series, for example, offers a clean look in hues of beige, gray, and white. The tiles themselves are made from a rectified, glazed porcelain and have a slight textured look to them. The colors can be mixed and matched on the floor and walls, and as they're also used in commercial installations, they'll hold up well in homes. They contain 60% of pre-consumer recycled content, earning the series a Green Squared SM certification from the Tile Council of North America.

Ann Sacks' beginnings are almost legendary. In 1980, the eponymous designer happened across a box of Mexican Talavera tiles that were being sold as trivets. The colorful tiles gave her the idea to launch her own tile company. Since then, the brand, now owned by Kohler, has worked hard to build its reputation as a luxury tile designer and manufacturer. It has opened showrooms in design centers across the U.S. and partnered with top designers on collaborations, including Studio McGee, Kelly Wearstler, and Barbarra Barry.

Customers seeking that one-of-a-kind look and luxury experience often turn towards Ann Sacks' special order program. The collection includes in-demand materials such as marble, granite, and glass, and many of the products come in shades beyond neutrals. Some, like the Couplet Hexagon tiles from Andy Fleishman's collaboration with the company, have geometric patterns that can be laid symmetrically or turned at different angles for a unique design. The colors range from gray/blue to chocolate.

For many bathroom renovations, tile represents a small fraction of the materials. TileBar knows this and is ready to offer other flooring and wall options for these rooms as well as vanities, mirrors, and shower screens. This variety eases the experience for remodelers, making it simple to order other materials along with the tile. The vinyl flooring selection will appeal to buyers who want to say goodbye to predictable bathroom tiles and prefer planks, which require less upkeep and are usually easier to install on the floor. For buyers creating freestanding showers, the selection of shower screens goes beyond the average curtain. Options with brass and matte black finishes fit modern aesthetics, and the window pane-style screens divide space in style.

Vinyl planks on the floor would pair well with TileBar's Portmore glossy ceramic tiles. The glazed surface has a speckled texture, giving it some depth. Each tile varies in shades of green, and there are other options for color, including pink, gray, and blue. Together with the vanities and mirrors, bathroom remodelers may have to keep track of just one order from TileBar, instead of several receipts from multiple stores.

Crossville was founded in 1986 in Crossville, Tennessee, and since then, it's remained a staunch supporter of sustainability efforts that uplift its location. "Any product that comes from the earth should have minimal impact on it," the company's website proclaims, and their efforts back up that sentiment. The brand's work with the Tennessee Valley Authority, which plans to be carbon neutral by 2050, involves optimizing its production to lower energy consumption and improving its shipping process to reduce fuel waste. The brand even started a Tile Take Back program for recycling. Instead of letting damaged or scrapped tile go into landfills, the program takes these unusable materials from its own sites, as well as other projects and producers, and recycles them using its own process. Now roughly 4% of all Crossville tile is made with recycled materials.

Buyers seeking eco-friendly options will have an easy experience on Crossville's website. Users can narrow their results to "carbon neutral" tiles to find the products that meet these requirements. The Argent 2.0 collection offers an array of softer tones such as Memphis Blues, Silver Sage, and Sunkissed Rose that bring in color without going big and bold. Customers can also choose between field tile and mosaic options.

Many manufacturers on this list love color, but not quite in the same way that Zia Tile does. This e-commerce seller features neutrals and favorite hues like blue and green, but it goes well beyond the basics. Buyers can find moody and patterned purples and shades of orange that are much brighter than the popular terracota look. Consumers can also shop their preferred colors in different tile shapes and materials such as terrazzo, cement, and marble.

Buyers who want to push themselves creatively with their tile may be drawn to Zia Tile's Aubergine 2-by-8-inch cement tiles. The color is dark, yet elegant, and would look stylish on a power room wall or even as a kitchen backsplash. Aubergine itself has been having a moment in 2026, so incorporating this hue into the tile may feel very trendy. The tile style comes in over 52 shades, meaning consumers can mix and match their pieces to create a wholly unique look. All of the tiles in this collection are handmade, and no two tiles will be exactly the same.

Many consumers love the idea of designing a unique tile pattern for themselves, but they don't know where to start. American Olean is ready to help. Part of Mohawk Industries, which owns several other home design businesses, the company offers free design services to help customers talk through their ideas and translate them into a real project. Meetings with American Olean representatives can be virtual or in-person at their showrooms, and they offer complimentary samples. This is a great option for buyers who don't have the budget for an interior designer, but still need help bringing their vision to life.

American Olean sells tiles at a number of price points, and their products are not exclusive to their showrooms or website. In fact, buyers can find them at Lowe's stores nationwide. This makes the brand more accessible, allowing more customers to see the tile in person before buying. If you're trying to budget and fund a home renovation, then you'll be able to apply any Lowe's discounts or sales to your purchase, which could help you stretch that dollar. Together with the free design services, these tile options will help consumers get real help while still staying on budget.

Businesses that don't change and grow rarely succeed. Florida Tile may have started as a ceramic trim manufacturer in Lakeland, Florida, but today, the company is best known for its porcelain floor and ceiling tiles. They're also headquartered in Kentucky now, though they kept their home state's name. Homeowners looking specifically for porcelain will find tons of unique looks and styles. Even eco-minded consumers will find something to like here. The company's manufacturing plant is a Green Squared Certified Manufacturing Facility certified by UL Environment.

Florida Tile's porcelain products provide customers with so many color and design options. Its Alustra collection offers five marble-like interpretations in porcelain, including Imperial Gold Calacatta with veins of gold and silver running through it. Then come the style options. Consumers can take their favorite design and choose from several different configurations. There are polished and matte floor and wall tiles as well as chevron, hexagon, and arch patterns that will fit all sorts of spaces. The almost dizzying number of options means consumers will get the exact design they love in a style that enhances their rooms.

Like Ann Saks, Porcelanosa targets the luxury market with high-end products made from great materials, but it takes a slightly different approach. The company owns several luxury home design brands, allowing customers to come to one Porcelanosa Group brand and access services and goods from the others. Website customers, for example, can browse tiles for kitchen, bath, and outdoor spaces, while also contemplating a wardrobe redesign through Gamadecor. They can also check out the kitchen islands and storage solutions designed by Residence and statement-making wallpapers from L'Antic Colonial. Busy professionals trying to juggle a home remodeling project will likely appreciate this one-stop shopping approach.

Consumers with industrial-leaning tastes will be drawn to Porcelanosa's Bottega collection, specifically Bottega Acero. The tile has a concrete look to it, ideal for lofts in converted factories and other repurposed buildings, and it can be used on floors and walls as well as in outdoor spaces. The cool shade of gray may also be one of the most timeless bathroom tile colors, easy to fit into just about any decor. The material is also made of through-body porcelain, which means it's ready to stand up to residential and commercial spaces.

Stonepeak never rests on its laurels. The company, also with manufacturing facilities in Crossville, Tennessee, strives to create products that take tile to the next level. Take its Hypertouch product. This capacitive surface allows users to turn lights on, set temperature controls, and turn up the volume of audio systems, all with the touch of a finger. The technology is embedded underneath the company's porcelain slabs, and it offers an alternative to wall plates and switches. Consumers can also opt for wireless charging, eliminating cords and tripping hazards.

For all the cool technologies Stonepeak rolls out, the brand still focuses on producing high-quality tile that can be browsed online, but must be bought through an authorized dealer. Its Città Di Faenza collection would look especially striking as a kitchen backsplash or as an accent wall. Inspired by Mediterranean colors and motifs, the collection features five color options, each with three interpretations of the hue. It also mixes in a gold-leaf background with one of the five colors in the center, creating a fun accent tile option. The designs can be mixed, a tile trend you'll likely be seeing more of in 2026, to create stunning looks.
