Wood–Look Tiles

If you love the look and feel of natural wood floors but prefer the durability and practicality of tile, you’re in luck! Wood–look tiles are the answer. Bring the warm and cozy feeling of wood into your bathroom or kitchen with more durability and less maintenance. Additionally, the long–format of wood–look tiles means they can be laid in captivating patterns to create even more personality.

Terrazzo Tiles

Terrazzo tiles have been around for a while and are back in the spotlight! We love their delicate decorative speckled designs that are simultaneously trendy and timeless. You can choose neutral colors that go with anything or bold colors like stark black or ocean blue! No matter what colors you choose, terrazzo tiles will look fantastic and become a breathtaking part of your room.

Patterns and Designs

Simple patterns and designs are classics for a reason. But because they’re well–loved, you tend to see them everywhere, and they can start to feel overused. If you want something fresh for a renovation, try a patterned tile or lay tile with an intricate design! Geometric patterns like hexagons, chevrons, herringbones, and more will rise in popularity for homeowners in 2023. They’re eye–catching, classy, and can complement any room style.

Contrasting Colors

If you want your tiles to become a central part of your bathroom, kitchen, or mud room's aesthetic, try implementing contrasting colors. Bold contrasting colors like black and white, turquoise and copper, or emerald green and gold will make your space feel enchanting and unforgettable. Try using contrasting colors with a simple design or an intricate pattern to add an additional "wow" factor.

Texture

Texture in tiles is a trend we predict will rise in 2023 and stay around for a long time. You can implement texture using a natural stone tile with grooves and divots or little tiles in a patterned design that creates a fantastically textured feel. Implementing earthiness with texture in your tiles will make your space feel warm and stylish.

Large Format Tiles

Tiles 12 inches and larger (sometimes up to 36 inches) are considered large format tiles. These tiles are an excellent choice for a new build or renovation because they make a space look bigger and more modern. Large format tiles also have fewer grout lines, meaning fewer spaces for grime to build up, which makes maintenance easier.

Whatever your style, one of these 2023 tile trends is sure to match. Once you've chosen the space you want to update, and the tile you want to update it with, Footprints Floors Central Florida will provide a free estimate for your project.

Brian Shaffer

Central Florida & Tampa Owner

Brian Shaffer is a passionate entrepreneur whose career has been defined by leadership, service, and a commitment to helping others succeed. Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, to a family of medical professionals, Brian quickly realized that his talents lay outside the hospital setting. Drawn instead to education, leadership, and eventually business ownership, he built a well-rounded foundation that now fuels his success in the home services industry.

After earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Florida, Brian began his professional journey as an English teacher. Over an 11-year teaching career, he taught five different grade levels and built a reputation for excellence in the classroom. In 2016, he transitioned into a district-level administrative role in the nation’s seventh-largest school district, where he spent six years leading teams of teachers and administrators through successful implementation of large-scale educational programs.

While thriving in education, Brian was also drawn to the world of small business. His entrepreneurial path began with real estate and continued to grow with the launch of The Cabinet Painting Company in 2021. Through this venture, Brian helped homeowners refresh their kitchens and bathrooms without the cost of full renovations. By 2022, the company’s success allowed him to step away from education and devote himself fully to business ownership. Under his leadership, The Cabinet Painting Company quickly earned a reputation for high-quality work, exceptional service, and strong customer relationships—opening the door to expanded opportunities in the home remodeling space.

Wanting to expand and offer his customers additional services, Brian became the owner of Footprints Floors of Tampa and Central Florida, and began offering floor refinishing and installations, from hardwood, tile, LVP and Laminate, kitchen backsplashes and shower remodels. This shift marked an exciting new chapter in his commitment to serving homeowners and enhancing the long-term beauty and value of their homes. With the heart of a teacher, the mindset of a leader, and the drive of an entrepreneur, Brian is dedicated to elevating the Footprints Floors experience through integrity, craftsmanship, and outstanding service.

Outside of work, Brian’s greatest joy comes from spending time with his family. He and his wife, Leah, enjoy life in Florida with their three children: Emmett (12), EJ (10), and Eden (7). Whether exploring new places, cheering on their kids at activities, or simply enjoying time together at home, family remains the center of Brian’s world.
