If there’s one trend we’re seeing go from strength to strength in 2025, it’s texture. As homes become more about comfort, character, and sensory appeal, designers and homeowners alike are embracing tactile surfaces that add depth and warmth. Enter textured tiles – one of the easiest (and most effective) ways to an organic element to both interiors and exteriors.
At Baked Tiles, we’ve always loved materials that deliver on both style and substance. Our newest collection, Lithica Stone, does just that – combining the raw beauty of chiselled stone with the practical benefits of hardwearing porcelain. Whether you are creating a Mediterranean inspired bathroom, or introducing some 70's glam to your hallway, this is the perfect product to anchor your chosen interior design style.

Why Texture Is Having a Moment
Flat surfaces are out. In their place? Rich, tactile finishes that add a new dimension to walls and floors. Whether it’s the subtle shadow play of light across a textured tile or the hand-crafted look that adds instant character, textured tiles give spaces depth and soul.
And it’s not just for indoors. Textured tiles are being used more and more on exterior walls and floors – adding interest and elevating outdoor spaces from purely functional to design-forward. This is perfect for the warmer months were outdoor living comes to the fore.
Meet Lithica Stone: Timeless Texture with Modern Practicality
