Currently taking the internet by storm are kit-kat tiles. All the rage in the 70s, these slim and vertical tiles look a lot like a certain candy bar, and are now set to be one of the biggest bathroom trends for 2025.
According to House Digest, But kit-kat tiles today are less about a nostalgic throwback and more about clean lines and texture. They work especially well in small spaces, like powder rooms or showers, where the vertical effect draws the eye up to make the space feel bigger. While white is always a safe bet for bathrooms, opting for soft pastels, earth tones, and even stunning black bathrooms are a great way to make your wash space feel current, not kitschy. And consider choosing your tiles based on your lighting: tiles with a glossy finish will bounce extra light around whereas matte versions could add a quieter sophistication to a darker space.
To make kit-kats work best, make sure you also choose a grout color that blends with the tile to keep your aesthetic cohesive. Pair black tiles with white grout and your bathroom will quickly look a bit like a barcode. Spacing and layout also matter: you can stack the tiles vertically or horizontally, so play around with the design to see what works for you. Just try not to overthink it — kit-kat tiles are meant to be fun, not fussy.
