Why Parquet Look Tile Is the Trend Designers Can’t Stop Talking About

If you’ve been paying attention to interior design lately (and let’s be honest… we always are), you may have noticed something making a big comeback: parquet flooring.
But not the fussy, high-maintenance wood floors from old estate homes — we’re talking about the modern, elevated, porcelain-tile version.

And honestly? We’re obsessed.

At Brick City Tile, two of our top-selling products this quarter are Vintage Rovere 19x19 and Classic Parquet Chiaro 36x36, and it’s clear why designers keep reaching for them. Parquet-look tile hits that perfect balance of warm, timeless, and quietly luxurious — without any of the headaches that come with real wood.

Let’s break down why this trend is blowing up for 2025.

---

1. It’s the perfect mix of classic and modern

Parquet has always had that unmistakable “old-world European charm,” but the 2025 version feels fresh, clean, and updated for today’s homes. The patterns bring instant sophistication without trying too hard.

• Vintage Rovere gives you that rich, cozy, traditional look

• Classic Parquet Chiaro leans airy, soft, and modern

Both add architectural interest the second they hit the floor. Even if you keep the rest of the room simple, the space suddenly feels intentional — like a designer was definitely involved.

2. Porcelain gives you the look you want without the maintenance you don’t

We all love wood… until it scratches, stains, warps, dents, water-spots, or demands a refinishing appointment every few years.

Porcelain solves all of that.

With parquet-look tile, you get:

• Zero sealing

• Zero sanding

• Zero stress

• 100% waterproof durability

• A floor you can actually live on (kids, pets, high traffic — no problem)

This is why designers are specifying it for kitchens, baths, mudrooms, rentals, commercial spaces — basically everywhere real parquet would be a no-go.

3. It fits perfectly into the 'quiet luxury' movement

If we had to sum up the 2025 design vibe in one phrase, it would be:
warm, grounded, textural, and elevated — without being flashy.

Parquet-look tile nails this aesthetic.
The patterning adds softness and depth, and the wood visuals warm up any space instantly. It feels curated and intentional, but not overdone.

Our Parquet Chiaro has become a go-to for designers working on:

• modern organic remodels

• neutral, airy kitchens

• spa-inspired bathrooms

• European-influenced interiors

It just works in all of them.

4. It looks custom — without the custom price tag

Real parquet is gorgeous… and extremely expensive, especially when the installation requires a specialist. Porcelain shortcuts all of that.

Large-format designs like:

• 36x36 Classic Parquet Chiaro, and

• 19x19 Vintage Rovere

…give you that “custom, hand-laid” look with faster installs, fewer grout lines, and a cleaner finish. The end result looks high-end, but the price and labor are so much more accessible.

---

5. It elevates every space — even the small ones

One of the best things about parquet-look tile is how transformative it is. You can use it in:

• entryways

• powder rooms

• laundry + mudrooms

• kitchen floors

• dining rooms

• boutique commercial spaces

Even a tiny bathroom feels more elevated with parquet tile. It’s one of those patterns that makes a space feel like someone really thought through every detail.

While some trends come and go quickly, parquet has literal centuries of history behind it.
The 2025 version just makes it easier, more durable, and more versatile — which is why we’re seeing such a big surge in demand.
