The Best Tiles to Replace Outdated Décor

August 26, 2025

Bland linoleum floors, antique backsplashes, or out-of-date kitchen trends — a new tile can give your space new life without a high-cost renovation. We’ve highlighted three common décor elements that can make your home look dated, with some suggestions for tiles to replace them.

Linoleum or Vinyl Floors

Since tile is long-lasting, low maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing, it’s a great replacement for linoleum or vinyl flooring. We suggest selecting a large tile with a sleek, neutral colour. Our dark grey porcelain tile, Greige, is a great choice for an approachable and low-maintenance floor tile. And for a clean, white tile you can go with Precious Ice from our Tuscany Series.

Outdated Beige Backsplashes

If your kitchen has a beige backsplash, we suggest something dynamic to liven up the space. Herringbone-patterned tiles, like Thassos White, will add a stimulating and sleek addition to your kitchen. You can also go for a dark grey Zellige-look tile like Grafito for a charming, rustic pop.

Plain White Subway Tile

Once ubiquitous, white subway tile backsplashes are slowly being phased out by many interior designers. To replace it, you’ll want something that offers more personality and visual interest. You could switch to a glossy grey subway tile like Cendra, or an off-white picket tile like Gris.
