From butterfly motifs to bubblegum pink everything, this season’s best home trends beg us to lighten up and have some fun with decor. And the latest playful craze might just be our favorite yet: Moroccan fish scale or “mermaid tiles,” which are swimming into stylish residences everywhere. Be still our ocean-loving hearts.
Paging Ariel: Mermaid Tiles Are So In Right Now
Pay full-on homage to the sea by tiling your entire bathroom in a serene blue hue.
Or just transform a lone accent wall into a work of art.
We’re especially into a mermaid tile shower stall when paired with high-contrast matte black hardware.
But in a clean, classic white, this trendy tile cut can look remarkably timeless.
So much so that it totally works in the kitchen, too.

But if we’re being honest here, a dark, oversize floor tile is the most unique, inspiring and downright stunning take on the trend. Holy swoon.
