Lancaster and Lebanon County’s Hottest Tile Flooring Trends & Timeless Looks Built to Last

Monday, January 05, 2026

If you’re a homeowner in Lancaster or Lebanon County, you already know how important it is to choose flooring that can stand up to busy family life kids, pets, muddy boots, hosting holidays, and everything in between. That’s why tile flooring continues to be one of the most dependable and stylish choices we install at Nolt’s Floor Covering. And as we head into 2026, the trends in tile flooring Lancaster & Lebanon PA homeowners are choosing have one thing in common: timeless beauty paired with modern durability.

We see it firsthand in our Ephrata and Myerstown showrooms, every day local families want floors that are stylish, practical, and ready to handle anything. Below, we break down the top tile trends customers are loving right now and why they’re perfect for homes right here in Lancaster and Lebanon County.

Why Tile Flooring Stands the Test of Time

Tile flooring has been around for thousands of years and for good reason. When installed correctly, tiles are nearly unbeatable in their durability, water resistance, and maintenance ease. That’s especially helpful in our area, where homes often have a mix of modern living spaces, mudrooms, farmhouse kitchens, and classic bathrooms that benefit from long-lasting material.

Here are a few reasons tile flooring continues to be a favorite among local homeowners:

Durability That Goes the Distance

Tile can handle high foot traffic, spills, and even the occasional dropped pot or pan. I once visited a longtime customer who still had tile we installed nearly two decades earlier, and it looked almost identical to the day it went in. That’s the kind of longevity homeowners love.

Water and Stain Resistance

Tile shines in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements anywhere moisture would ruin other types of flooring. Here in PA, where sudden weather changes and muddy spring days are the norm, having a floor that’s easy to clean is priceless.

Low Maintenance

A simple sweep and mop are usually all you need. No refinishing. No resealing every year. Just flooring that looks good without the hassle.

Endless Style Options

Tile is one of the most customizable flooring materials available. With today’s technology, you can choose from stone looks, wood looks, bold patterns, subtle neutrals, or anything in between.

2025 Tile Trends PA Homeowners Love

Whether you're renovating a bathroom, updating a kitchen, or planning a full-home refresh, these are the top tile trends we’re seeing homeowners gravitate toward this year.

Large-Format Porcelain Tiles

Large-format tiles think 24x24, 12x24, and even planks like 9x48 are dominating the Lancaster County flooring scene. They create a high-end, seamless look and make smaller rooms appear larger.

Why Homeowners Love Them

• Fewer grout lines = easier cleaning
• Modern, sleek style
• Works beautifully with contemporary, farmhouse, and transitional homes
• Great for radiant heating systems (more on that below)

We recently completed a project in a Lititz bathroom where the homeowner chose 12x24 matte porcelain tiles. The transformation was incredible everything looked cleaner, brighter, and more spacious. Large-format tiles truly elevate a room.

Handmade Moroccan Patterns

Patterned tile has made a massive comeback, especially in kitchens, entryways, powder rooms, mudrooms, and custom showers.

Moroccan and encaustic-inspired designs bring a handcrafted, artistic feel to a space. They add personality without overwhelming the room.

Why Homeowners Love Them

• Adds charm and character
• Great for accent floors or feature walls
• Works beautifully in older Lancaster County homes
• A perfect blend of vintage and modern

I remember a customer from Manheim who hesitated at first, thinking a patterned tile might be “too bold.” But after installing a blue-and-white Moroccan-style tile in her kitchen, she told us it became her favorite part of the entire house her guests compliment it constantly.

Wood-Look Tiles

Wood-look tile continues to be one of the most requested styles in our showrooms, and for good reason. You get the warmth and beauty of hardwood with the durability and water resistance of tile.

These tiles have come such a long way realistic textures, rich colors, and plank-style sizes give them an authentic hardwood feel.

Why Homeowners Love Them

• Perfect for kitchens, basements, bathrooms, and even full main floors
• Scratch-resistant and pet-friendly
• Works well with farmhouse and rustic Lancaster County styles
• Ideal for households that need durability without sacrificing style

We recently installed wood-look tile in a family’s living room in Lebanon. The finished space looked like a cozy hardwood room but with the performance of a tile floor best of both worlds.

Heated Floors – Powered by the Schluter System

Warm tile floors are one of the best home upgrades you can make especially during cold Pennsylvania winters. Radiant heat systems like Schluter® DITRA-HEAT allow you to enjoy warm floors with precise temperature control.

Why Homeowners Love Heated Flooring

• No more cold bathroom floors in the morning
• Energy-efficient, targeted heat
• Works beneath large-format or standard-size tiles
• Adds resale value to your home

We’ve installed Schluter systems in dozens of Lancaster and Lebanon County homes, and homeowners always tell us the same thing: “I can’t believe I lived this long without heated floors.” It’s an upgrade you’ll appreciate every single day.
