2018 Tile Trends

I know it may seem a long way off until 2018 but if you are thinking of undertaking a tiling project you may want to consider these trends which we are certain will be at the forefront in 2018, so don’t get left behind

Rugging

Rugging is a relatively new idea in design, this is where patterned tiles are used in a block which is then surrounded by a plain tile to create the effect of a rug. With a large selection of patterned tiles available many looks can be created

2018 TILE TRENDS

Textured Tiles

Textured tiles add warmth & depth to a room, for example the split face mosaic tile creates a statement look and looks great as a feature wall. Using textured tiles as a fireplace surround is becoming increasingly popular as well as being used as a feature wall.

Darker colours

Welcome to the dark side, in 2018, black will be a popular choice as it oozes exclusivity and luxury. When using black it’s important to contrast well, for every dark surface ensure there is a light one. A black surface which creates a focal point surrounded by a light or white wall creates a modern statement look.

Chevron

Laying tiles in a chevron pattern will focus the eye to this, used as a feature panel with the remainder of the wall tiles in a more subtle pattern

Matt & Gloss Mix

When tiling often we mix and match tiles from the same range, in the same finish but with a different colour. The 2018 tiling trend of matt & gloss combined is suggesting we combine matt and gloss of the same colour. The light will reflect off the gloss surface and the matt surfaces will add warmth to the room. The resulting look is outstanding.

Metallic Tones

Metallic tones have become increasingly popular over the past few years and they are here to stay for 2018. Using metal in the interior can add character to a space. They create stunning splashbacks in a bathroom or kitchen or can also be used as a feature panel.

2018 TILE TRENDS

Reclaimed wood effect

Wood effect tiles have been around for some time now but 2018 promises to break the tradition and introduce the use of reclaimed wood. This means there will be a mix of textures, patterns and colours within the look. Real reclaimed wood is costly and hard to maintain so reclaimed wood effect tiles are a great way to add history and character to your home.

2018 TILE TRENDS

Seamless Indoor to Outdoor Space

With the increasing use of outdoor spaces for al fresco dining and entertainment, by using the same tile across an indoor and outdoor space which are both on the same level a seamless look is created. The line between home and garden is then blurred and it encourages the use of outdoor spaces.

2018 TILE TRENDS

Multi size tiles

Often within a tile range there are normally a variety of sizes available of the same colour tile, therefore you can use a combination of sizes of the same tile to create a multi size effect. This means that you can be creative with the layout creating an interesting look.

2018 TILE TRENDS

Concrete effect

Industrial looks are becoming increasingly popular, concrete effect paired with metal accessories, brick effect wall and industrial cage lights are all part of the effect. There is no need to get the cement mixer though with concrete effect tiles being available.
