Tiles have become a preeminent feature of Australian households, and 2025 has seen the emergence of thrilling new tile trends tailored perfectly to the Burdekin lifestyle. Burdekin homeowners have been emphasising designs which harmoniously connect indoor and outdoor areas, creating cohesive living areas well suited to our tropical climate.
The indoor tile scene has witnessed the dominance of large format tiles, which are praised for their minimalist style, simple and easy maintenance, and roomy feel.
Earthy hues such as terracotta, sage, and sandy neutrals reign supreme, reflecting our coastal environment and adding a touch of warmth to homes.
Moroccan-influenced Zellige tiles are also rising stars amongst Australian homeowners, bringing handmade charm and subtle textures into the equation. Porcelain timber look-alike tiles continue to remain a staple, blending the beauty of wood with waterproof durability, a good choice for busy family spaces.
The outdoor tile scene trends towards porcelain pavers which imitate natural stone or timber, delivering beauty and practicality in one package.
They also come with the added benefit of being slip resistant, algae resistant, and easy to maintain—perfect for patios and pool surroundings. Travertine continues to occupy a top spot in Hinchinbrook, keeping cool underfoot even on the most scorching days and bringing a touch of elegance to outdoor entertainment spaces.
In the selection of tiles, functionality and style are essential considerations. Matte or textured finishes offer safety in wet areas, and durable materials like porcelain are desirable for high traffic zones. Natural materials and lighter shades handle the tropical humidity better, remaining cool in the Burdekin heat.
