Spanish Tile Flooring Ideas for Every Room in the House

First on our list of stylish Spanish tile flooring: Terracotta tile! With its signature reddish-brown tone and rustic appearance, this humble material evokes the rich warmth of the Mediterranean and instantly imbues any room with an inviting atmosphere. Paired with whitewashed walls and wooden accents, Spanish terracotta floor tiles are perfect for living rooms, kitchens, patios, and poolside settings. Opt for large formats to craft the perfect classic hacienda-style look, like our Terracotta 18x18 Matte Square Porcelain Large Format Tile.

Craving a change from beige-on-beige? Eye-catching Spanish tile flooring in bold colors and shapes can turn a mundane space into one that feels expressive and uniquely you. Intricate swirls, floral motifs, and symmetrical patterns in daring blues, yellows, reds, and greens conjure up all sorts of exotic images, creating a sense of energy that muted tones often lack. Use them as statement entryway floors that captivate guests the moment they step in or as an accent to define the fireplace hearth.

Hexagon tile is one of the most recognisable features in Spanish design, offering a geometric twist to more traditional settings. Here, you can go for a plain honeycomb shape or intricate motifs for extra visual impact. These six-sided beauties are especially effective in smaller spaces like foyers, powder rooms, mudrooms, and bathrooms, where they introduce an unmatched level of artistry without causing visual overwhelm. The perfect example: Terra Mauve White 9x10 Matte Hexagon Porcelain Tile.

Why choose between floral and geometric when you can simply incorporate both? Modern Spanish tile often mixes the two within the same surface, balancing hard lines with soft curves. You might tile the main floor with a geometric pattern and border it with a floral edge, or combine both throughout the room for a patchwork effect that feels artful yet cohesive. For instance, Cornflower Blue 5x5 Matte Ceramic Cross Deco Tile and Cornflower Blue 5x5 Matte Star Ceramic Tile.

When it comes to Spanish tile flooring, encaustic tile has been a mainstay in hacienda-style homes and resort villas for well over a century, and has continued to pop in and out of trend ever since. Loved for their deeply pigmented colors and intricate patterns embedded into fired clay, these floor adornments are the go-to for contemporary interior design—pairing with neutral walls and furnishings to create a beautiful contrast. Inject style panache in large rooms or use them in minimalist areas that need a visual anchor.

For homeowners seeking distinctive flair, elongated picket patterns offer a modern spin to perennial-style interiors. What better way to pack a mighty punch than with stretched hex-shaped modern Spanish tile floors? Choose glossy glazed finishes in warm shades of sand or coastal blues and greens reminiscent of lush landscapes to tie in Mediterranean warmth. One of the standout features of Apollo Tile’s picket tiles is their versatility. Our Turquoise Blue 3x19 Glossy Picket Porcelain Tile, for example, adds a vibrant splash to outdoor areas such as patio floors, garden pathways, or swimming pool surrounds

Although Spanish tile flooring can be bright and bold, an elegant black and white design will never let you down. Tiling in this monochromatic scheme looks fabulous when used in entryways, powder rooms, bathrooms, kitchens—really anywhere in your home. We love the high-contrast of Black White 9x10 Matte Hexagon Porcelain Tile, which wonderfully captures the beauty of Spanish design while maintaining contemporary appeal. Paired with white walls, lush greenery, and wood fittings, the results are nothing short of amazing.

Because of Spain’s proximity to Northern Africa, you’ll find Spanish-style homes that embrace design elements from both regions. Get the look in your abode by using Moroccan-inspired star tile and pairing it with other eye-pleasing shapes. For instance, our Deep Forest Green 7x7 Glossy Star Porcelain Tile works well with Terracotta 7x18 Matte Porcelain Large Format Tile to create a rhythmic pattern. The result is Spanish terracotta floor tiles that evoke the enduring appeal of Andalusian courtyards and Spanish haciendas. They add oomph to grand entryways, living rooms, or patios where their artisanal character takes center stage.

For those seeking a more grounded, authentic aesthetic, natural stone tiles bring the spirit of Spain’s countryside indoors. Travertine, slate, and limestone tile are all exquisite options notable in modern Spanish revival homes. These materials set the stage for a warm, earthy base and are ideal for rustic interiors. Their natural variation in tone and texture adds a layer of depth and textural dimension. Spanish style flooring in natural stone finish is also incredibly durable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as foyers and kitchens.

Spanish tile flooring has a longstanding history of fearlessly using color, where earthy tones work alongside bright hues to achieve an intriguing look. Think terracotta paired with cobalt blue, mustard yellow, or vivid green. Tilework in varying colors exudes confidence while still feeling grounded in tradition. Give it a go with patterned layouts or alternate bold tiles to create a patchwork effect reminiscent of classic Mediterranean courtyards. Our Deep Forest Green 6x6 Glossy Square Porcelain Tile flows effortlessly with large terracotta tiles for an unexpected feature underfoot.
