Viva Magenta: five tiles to complement Pantone’s Colour of the Year
With a new year comes fresh design trends, and here at CTD Architectural Tiles our team works hard to be at the cutting edge of the latest styles by curating a vast collection of tiles that meets a variety of trends – from classic to modern.
This immersion into the latest design trends means our team were delighted to see ‘Viva Magenta’ named as Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2023. This bold carmine red is a unique take on interior design styles inspired by nature that focus on mellow neutrals and shades of green, offering an alternative colour rooted in the natural world that also evokes passion, strength and joy.
Viva Magenta provides the perfect solution for any commercial project that’s looking to make a statement. From a standout feature wall in a trendy restaurant to adding pops of colour to a luxury office reception area through furniture, Viva Magenta is a fantastic opportunity to flex your creative muscles.
Of course, tiles can play a significant part in this – and we’re delighted to offer several on trend tiles within the Viva Magenta colour palette that are suitable for a variety of applications and styles. Here are our five favourite collections to help you bring Viva Magenta to life, whatever your next project.
Bevelled Metro
When chosen in shade ‘Bordeaux’, our Bevelled Metro range is a great fit for this rich red colour palette. A modern take on the classic Metro brick-style tile trend, this collection offers a versatile solution for any commercial setting.
Suitable for walls, these ceramic tiles can be used in a mix and match effect, and can be installed horizontally, vertically, in the popular herringbone effect and more – the creative possibilities are almost endless!
Zelij
Also offering a unique ceramic wall tile option is the Zelij collection, which is available in the shade ‘Wine’ – ideal for spaces inspired by Viva Magenta.
This rustic collection draws on classic North African tiles, seamlessly blending both matt and gloss finishes for an appealing handcrafted look. What’s more, Zelij comprises 39 percent recycled materials for an even closer link to Viva Magenta’s roots in nature and climate protection.
Corso
Offering a truly unique interpretation of the classic Metro brick style, the Corso collection of ceramic wall tiles utilises texture for a striking three-dimensional effect. Shade ‘Red’ offers a nod to Viva Magenta, and is a great solution for implementing this 2023 design trend in a subtle yet beautiful way.
Aurore
While designs inspired by the Viva Magenta colour palette may focus most heavily on wall applications, this certainly isn’t a limiting factor. Thanks to our beautiful range of Aurore mosaic tiles, this 2023 colour trend can be utilised for floors too.
Aurore’s beautiful ‘Rosa Caldo’ colour option is ideal for this palette, using varying complementary pink and red shades within each mosaic sheet for a striking overall effect. Combined with a transparent and opalescent finish, these tiles offer a unique nod to Viva Magenta.
Hanami Sakura
Our beautiful Hanami Sakura range of glazed ceramic wall tiles puts colour front and centre, making its ‘Pink’ option the ideal choice for this colour-led design trend. Designed to bring positive energy to any space, Hanami Sakura aims to combine the attractiveness of traditional ceramics with modern style – culminating in a fantastic choice for a powerful feature wall installation.
