Summer’s sun may be setting, but your home’s style is about to rise! As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your space with the spirit of fall. 


And guess what? Tiles are stepping into the spotlight, ready to steal the show. From rich earthy tones to fresh designs, let’s discover the must-see summer into fall transitional home tile designs that can turn your home into a dreamy autumn haven. Ready to see how? Let’s jump right in! 

Autumn vibes are in full swing with our Camila Decorative Star 2 Porcelain Tile taking center stage on this kitchen backsplash! Add that copper range hood to the mix and you’ve got the perfect space to welcome cooler weather. 


Create a warm and welcoming entryway

Let the spirit of autumn embrace your home from the very first step. Do this by giving your entryway a toasty and inviting makeover with tiles that capture the gorgeous colors of autumn - warm oranges, earthy browns, deep reds, and golden yellow. 


A fantastic tile pairing you can try is our Sultana Celeste Earth and Sky Porcelain Tile for the walls, paired with the Sultana Stella Terracotta Porcelain Tile for the floor. 


This combination is bursting with autumnal charm, and the textured, handcrafted feel of the Sultana Celeste adds a special touch that’s sure to impress - just take a look at the space below to see this duo in action. 


Your guests will feel welcomed the moment they step inside, and with these durable porcelain tiles, your beautiful entryway will stay that way for years to come!


Not feeling the warm tones? No worries! Keep it cool with dried decor and tiles in calming shades that still whisper “fall,” like our Bluma Gingko Blue Etched Marble Mosaic Tile


Got a front porch? Give it some autumn makeover too! 


Our top recommendation? The Camila Terracotta Step Porcelain Tile. It’s designed for stair nosings, so it adds a safe and stylish finish to your porch steps. Match it with our decorative Camila Scrollwork Square Porcelain Tile on the stair risers and you’ve got a porch that’s ready to usher you from sun-soaked days to sweater weather in style. 


We’re absolutely smitten with these tiles, and we’re pretty sure you will be too! That’s why we’ve included a sneak peek below - check it out and see for yourself!


With your tiles set, it’s time to crank up the autumn vibes with some cozy finishing touches. 


Baskets? They’re the best! Storage and style - they give your entryway that warm, lived-in vibe. You can use them to store scarves, gloves, and other fall essentials. Try some woven baskets made from natural stuff  like wicker or jute - they’ll make things feel even more cozier. 


Dried flowers, especially arrangements featuring sunflowers, wheat stalks, or eucalyptus, can also add a beautiful touch of autumn to your entryway. Place them in a vase on a console table or hang a wreath on the door to greet guests with seasonal cheer. 


Fill your kitchen with festivity

Is your kitchen ready for seasonal festivities? If not, then it’s time to spice things up! 


One of the easiest ways to infuse your kitchen with a festive atmosphere is by adding a splash of color with decorative tiles. And when it comes to decorative tiles, we simply can’t get enough of Spanish fiesta-inspired mosaics


Their bright, lively colors and intricate patterns evoke the warmth and abundance of the harvest season, bringing a touch of Mediterranean sunshine right into your home.


Need some proof? Feast your eyes on this kitchen! It’s positively glowing with harvest season vibes, all thanks to those stunning Spanish mosaic tiles on the backsplash. They add so much personality and energy, making the whole room feel like it’s buzzing with excitement for the upcoming celebrations. 


But what if Spanish tiles aren’t your style? Any colorful decorative mosaic tiles can do the trick! 


Just remember to choose colors and patterns that spark joy and make you feel good. It can be mosaics in sunny yellows, fiery reds, vibrant blues, or even lush greens - anything that reminds you of ripe fruits, bountiful harvests, and the beauty of nature. 

While traditional sweater weather colors are always a winner, don’t be afraid to add a splash of unexpected vibrancy with bright greens. Imagine crisp Granny Smith apples or lush olive groves - green symbolizes growth and abundance, perfectly capturing the spirit of the coming season of plenty. 


And speaking of green, we’re thrilled to introduce the must-see Camila Green Square Porcelain Tile just in time for the season. 


We’re absolutely loving its vibrant hue and glossy finish - it’s like a breath of fresh air in your kitchen, bringing to mind the lushness of a bountiful harvest. Whether you use it as an accent or go bold with a full backsplash, this tile is sure to bring an  invigorating aura to your space. Plus, it goes so well with the earthy, autumnal colors! 


Embrace natural materials

Sure, fall is all about pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters. But let’s not forget the real star of the show: Mother Nature’s breathtaking transformation! 


And to celebrate the spectacular beauty of nature this coming season, we’re bringing in lots of natural materials to create a space that feels grounded and comforting as the weather cools down. 


Love the look of hardwood but hate the upkeep? Wood-look tiles are a total game-changer. As seen in the outdoor space above, our Brick Brooklyn Natural Porcelain Tile looks so convincingly like real wood, you’ll have to do a double-take. 


But unlike real wood, it’s tough as nails and super easy to maintain - ideal for busy families and high-traffic areas. 


Even your mudroom deserves a cozy makeover! If you’re crushing on pink and marble (who isn’t?), then you must see the Meadow Norwegian Rose Flower Marble Mosaic Tile - it's guaranteed to add a touch of chic opulence even to the messiest of boots and coats. 


Marble is another natural beauty that’s perfect for harvest time (and honestly, any season!). Its unique veining and luxurious feel add a touch of sophistication that’s hard to beat and hardly ever go out of style. And their timeless appeal? It blends so  well with various decor themes, making it easy to update your home without needing to overhaul your existing setup. 


We’re all for copper overload when it looks this good! The Copper Square and Dot Metal Mosaic Tile is basically golden autumn leaves captured in tile form - forget pumpkin spice, this tile right here is the real warm vibe. 


We’re also seeing copper tiles pop up everywhere in home design this fall.



Their rich, glowing tones evoke comforting nights by the fireplace, while their reflective surface adds a touch of glamor to any space. 


The real magic, however, lies in copper’s ability to develop a unique patina over time. This natural process creates a one-of-a-kind visage that only gets better with age. 


Go for a fresh farmhouse fall look

While most of us are all about those summer-to-fall tile transitions, some designers are already thinking ahead to winter. This forward-thinking approach has given birth to the fresh farmhouse trend, a beautiful mix of rustic charm and crisp, clean lines. 


This fresh farmhouse look is the epitome of breezy autumn vibes that effortlessly transition into winter - talk about getting the most out of your decor! And can we talk about that fireplace with the Sticks White Carrara Marble Mosaic Tile? Paired with the warm wood beams and brown leather chairs, everything in this room basically works together to bring about a cozy cabin retreat right in your living space. 


So what is this new autumn look all about?


The simple answer is that it’s a delightful twist on traditional autumnal decorating. It’s a style that’s both comfortable and sophisticated, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. 


Instead of going all-in on pumpkins and vibrant oranges, we’re going for a softer, more muted palette. Rather than layering too many textures and decor elements, we’re embracing natural textures and simple, uncluttered spaces. 

Wondering how to bring this trend to life in your kitchen? Take pointers from this kitchen space - it’s the prime example of fresh farmhouse fall look done right! 


First of all, the Gilded Age White Porcelain Tile on the walls is a dream. It’s exactly what interior designers recommend - starting with a neutral tile to set the foundation for the rest of your design.



The white range hood is another smart choice. It keeps the kitchen feeling bright and airy, which is great for those shorter winter days when natural light is scarce. Plus, it complements the fresh white look that signals the upcoming winter season beautifully. 

The best part about this fresh farmhouse fall trend? No need to ditch your decor when winter rolls around! Just a few tweaks and you’re set. And that White Striped Diamonds Marble Mosaic Tile? It’s a terrific chameleon, looking amazing in both autumn and winter. 


By incorporating natural materials like wooden cabinetry and shelves, the designer also captures the essence of autumn. The antique pieces also work wonders to elevate the look and bring in some depth into the design. 


Best of all, the whole space is uncluttered - a dream for those busy, festive times when you need your kitchen clear for cooking up a storm. 


Warm up your bathroom floors

Is there anything better than stepping out of a hot shower or relaxing bath onto a toasty-warm floor during the crisp autumn months? We think not! 


Heated flooring is a simple luxury that can transform your bathroom routine into a spa-like experience, making those chilly mornings a little bit warmer. And with apple picking just around the corner, now’s the perfect tile to consider adding the cozy comfort of heated flooring to your bathroom. 

Tile spotlight: Kasai Carta Sakura Porcelain Tile


Heated bathroom floors aren’t just a seasonal indulgence; they’re a worthwhile investment that you’ll appreciate year-round. Imagine never having to dread stepping onto a cold tile floor again! Plus, they can even add value to your home. So, if you’re considering a bathroom upgrade this fall, think beyond just aesthetics. 

Tile spotlight: Santorini Blue and White Floral Marble Mosaic Tile


And since we’re talking about summer into fall transitional home tile designs, we recommend picking tiles that evoke the beauty of the upcoming season. It could be a tile sporting warm earth tones, rich textures, or even subtle patterns inspired by the crisp, colorful foliage. 


Our Kasai Carta Sakura Porcelain Tile, for instance, features a delicate cherry blossom design that’s both elegant and seasonally appropriate. Or, if you prefer a bolder floral statement, our Santorini Blue and White Floral Marble Mosaic Tile delivers stunning visual impact and also excels at conducting heat. 


Don’t forget to add the colors of autumn!

We’ve given you plenty of ideas for transitioning your home from summer to fall without relying on the usual harvest color palette. But sometimes you just want to go the classic and easy route. If that’s the case, there’s nothing simpler than adding a splash (or a whole lot!) of those signature autumn hues to your space. 


Bet you can’t find anything more autumnal than these Groove Terracotta Matte Ceramic Subway Tiles! That matte finish is the cherry on top, serving up all those modern vibes everyone can’t seem to get enough of. 


Warm oranges, rustic reds, golden yellow, and earthy browns: these colors capture the essence of fall, wrapping your room in a cozy and comforting embrace. And when it comes to tiles, you’ve got a treasure trove of options in these lovely shades! 


From classic subway tiles to intricate mosaics, there’s something to fit every style and budget. And with a range of formats, finishes, and textures available, you can truly get creative and personalize your space. 


And if you’re looking for a one-stop shop for fall-inspired tiles, our Luna Arc Ceramic Tile Collection has you covered. It features a wide range of autumnal colors, all with a beautiful handmade, zellige-style look that adds warmth and character to any space. 


Take a look at this wet bar. 


Sure, it’s nice on its own, but those Luna Arc Caramel tiles on the backsplash? Chef’s kiss! They add a burst of warm, autumnal color, and that glaze? It’s like adding a little sunshine to your space, even on a cloudy day! 


The way it plays off the pastel orange chairs and green accents is just perfect - it all comes together to create this charming, holiday-inspired nook you’ll just want to spend your days in. 


And of course, summer might be winding down, but the fun doesn’t have to stop! So don’t let the cooler weather keep you indoors. 


Our Moroccan-inspired star patterned tile creates a terrific poolside oasis, excellent for soaking up those last rays of sunshine. 


The captivating design and the blend of off-white and terracotta hues create a playful elegance that complements the changing season so well. 


What more is that its timeless design ensures your pool area remains chic and inviting for as long as you like, allowing you to enjoy its charm long after the leaves have fallen. 


Beyond Tiles: Additional Tips for a Smooth Transition

Tiles are awesome for sprucing up your home, but don’t forget about the little touches that can transform your space from summer-y to cozy vibes! Check out these easy ideas to make the most of this time of year. 


Cozy up with fabrics

As it gets chilly, it totally makes sense to switch out your light summer blankets and pillows for thicker ones in warm colors like burgundy, burnt orange, or brown. Adding a few rugs with rich patterns can also do wonders to warm up your floors. These little changes can make your home feel snug and welcoming. 

If too many vibrant colors make your head spin, balance your cozy fabrics with neutral flooring and walls. Our Dover Almond Stone Look Beige Porcelain Tile is a great solution - it’s neutral, plus the large format means less grout and a calmer, smoother overall look. 


Set the mood with lighting

The right lighting can dramatically shift the atmosphere in your home. With that in mind, consider swapping bright, cool-toned bulbs for those with a warmer, softer glow. Take it to the next level with the addition of table lamps, floor lamps, or even a string of fairy lights - these work great in creating cozy nooks perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a cup of tea on crisper evenings. 


Bring the outdoors in with seasonal greenery

Don’t forget about plants! Fall foliage and seasonal plants like mums and ornamental kale can add beautiful pops of color to your humble abode. Place them in your living room, entryway, or on your porch for a fresh and festive look as these plants can really make your space feel lively and ready for the seasonal change. 


No autumn plants? No problem! Just grab any greenery you can find and let our Ionic Herringbone Steel Porcelain Mosaic Tile do the heavy lifting - it’s so stunning, your decor will look amazing no matter what. 


Engage the sense with autumnal scents

Nothing says “harvest season” like the aroma of cinnamon, crisp apples, or warm pumpkin spice. Light a few candles or use an essential oil diffuser to fill your home with these comforting scents. It’s a simple yet effective way to truly create a delightful autumn vibe right inside your home. 


Time to tile up for the new season!
