patterned tiles

Ornate floor squares

Patterned tiles are tiles decorated with repeated designs, geometric shapes, or ornamental motifs.

They're used for flooring, walls, and backsplashes, often chosen for visual interest over plain alternatives: The bathroom featured Moroccan patterned tiles.

The term encompasses everything from traditional encaustic cement tiles to modern printed ceramics.
