Tile Trends DFW Homeowners Are Actually Loving
By Dillon Hubbard, OnPoint Pros · April 7, 2026 · Updated July 9, 2026
Tile choices make or break a DFW bathroom. Here's what's actually working in DFW homes right now.
Large-Format Porcelain Is Dominant
24x48 and larger porcelain tiles are the dominant choice in modern DFW bathrooms right now. Fewer grout lines, easier to clean, modern look. They require a flat substrate and proper setting materials, but the result is stunning.
Zellige for a Touch of Character
Zellige (handmade Moroccan tile) has exploded in popularity in DFW backsplashes and powder rooms. The variation in color and surface gives a kitchen warmth that perfect machine-made tile lacks.
Vertical Stack for Backsplashes
Subway tile in a vertical stack pattern (instead of the traditional horizontal running bond) is the move for DFW kitchens that want subway without feeling too 2015.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the easiest tile to clean?
Large-format porcelain. Fewer grout lines = less scrubbing.
Is grout color a big deal?
Huge. Light grout shows dirt, dark grout hides it. We default to slightly darker grout for shower floors.
Do I need to seal my grout?
If you use cement-based grout, yes. Modern epoxy grouts don't need sealing and last longer.
