2021 Tile Trends
Tiles form an important part of any design scheme. Not only are they aesthetic, but they also provide a durable alternative to natural stone or carpet and work well in commercial environments that need to withstand heavy footfall.
However, tile trends are not just for consumers – with many designers and specifiers now experimenting with their interior design schemes, to create unique and interesting commercial environments that align with on-trend colour palettes and materials.
To find out our predictions for the upcoming year, read on!
The Trend for Natural Beauty
Biophillic design is a trend that has continued to increase within the interior design industry, with many businesses looking for new and innovative ways to bring the outside in.
In addition to a strong visual appeal, nature-inspired interiors can impact general wellbeing and productivity; therefore more business owners are specifying tiles inspired by the raw elements for example, wood.
Wood effect tiles offer all of the visual characteristics of wood but with the practical qualities of a ceramic tile. The easy-to-maintain surface replicates the inherent knots and grain of raw wood for a functional, yet stylish floor covering.
Aspen tiles mimic natural wood with their warm hues and distressed detailing. Available in 4 shades, the glazed porcelain tile is suitable for use indoors or outdoors for a nature-inspired commercial scheme.
Add Texture with Tiles
Texture is a great way to add interest, not only does it add contrast but it provides a visual focal point, which can help to enhance the design of a commercial space whilst also promoting a good first impression.
The trend for mixing materials is evident across all sectors, but particularly within wall-coverings – by contrasting tiles against a bold paint colouring you can really transform the look and feel of a space.
Our Diesel Shades of Blinds range is inspired by reflections of light. Available in six gradiented colours, the tiles convey shadows and beams of light for a stunning feature wall.
Be Bold with Colourful Tiles
More and more designers and specifiers are beginning to play around with colour when creating their schemes. A great way to convey personality and brand values - colour can really uplift a space; whilst giving tired-looking spaces a new lease of life. From vibrant blues to emerald greens, bold colours are making a comeback and tiles provide the perfect opportunity to do this.
Available in a selection of beautiful pastel shades that symbolise the ocean, our Niza collection is an ideal choice for a commercial spaces looking to inject a pop of colour into their scheme.
Niza can be specified in six different colours, each with a gentle shade variation for a truly unique finish. Furthermore the tile is available in both rectangular and hexagonal format, allowing for complex patterns and intricate designs.
2021 will bring a range of experimental trends to the forefront of commercial design, with a range of colours, textures and designs that will enhance the design possibilities available to specifiers and designers.
