The Tile trends expected to be BIG

Natural textures, organic shapes and soft, tranquil colour profiles feature in interior design trends of 2020 as our focus shifts away from the materialistic habits of the past to a greener tomorrow.

Created using high definition digital ink, the Italian made Paper41 Pro collection is made of ultra-thin 3.5mm porcelain. The tiling industry’s answer to higher maintenance traditional wallpapers, the Paper41 Pro range provides the same pattern and high-energy colour palette one would expect from modern wallpaper designs in a more durable porcelain material.

Encaustic Inspired Tiles: The Futura Collection

A perfect replica of traditional encaustic tiles, the Futura collection is made of highly durable porcelain and boasts a playful range of pastel tones and neutrals in soft, geometric patterns.

Traditional encaustic tiles are often used to create a vintage inspired design, adding a softness and warmth in an interior scheme. As they are often made of cement, encaustic tiles are porous in nature, requiring continuous maintenance in the home to ensure they are not stained or damaged. The Futura collection offers that same vintage vibe often seen in encaustic tiles, combined with the famously low-maintenance porcelain tile material, catapulting this much coveted look into design trends of the future. The collection offers a modern twist on this old favourite, not only by employing a more durable material but also by introducing bold geometric patterns and shapes, available in a stunning array of pastel tones and neutrals to suit any style of design. 

With so many exciting new collections available in the world of tiles, the possibilities truly are endless. These selected styles are all perfect examples of what we can expect to see more of in interiors throughout the new year and beyond as we embrace a more natural colour palette and material selection in our homes.
