The remarkable growth of interest in ceramic tiles in interior design should not surprise us. What can be surprising though, are the unexpected places tiles are showing up in public and private spaces, according to some industry experts.
Ask anyone where in a home they would expect to see ceramic tiles. Bathrooms and kitchens will doubtless be the top answers. In 2025, however, tiled headboards have emerged as a burgeoning trend in interior design. With the right choices of tone, texture and motif, they can give an individuality to a bedroom which the soft furnishings may not provide. A patterned, tiled headboard can become a much-needed visual focus. Bedrooms need to be soft and soothing, but those gentler elements may work even more powerfully against a livelier visual element.
Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at UK based company Ca’Pietra, points out that the benefits of tiled headboards are not merely decorative:
“There’s no need to worry about staining like there is with an upholstery headboard, and with the right tile shape and material choice, it can be incredibly soothing or sculptural, depending on the mood you want to create.”
