To make your life that little bit easier here are 5 of the top tile trends for 2018:

  • Textured tiles

    Add depth to a room with textured tiles. The options are varied ranging from subtle textures to richly embossed tiles that will transform any wall, particularly effective as a feature within a room. The important, yet often overlooked, the effect of texture can be the difference between an ‘OK room’ and a room that has the ‘WOW factor‘!!

  • Marble tiles

    These cost-effective favourites will be a continuing tile trend in 2018. With the natural detail found in marble tiles, they add glamour to virtually any room. The hard stone these tiles are made out of can be highly polished which results in a smooth and shiny surface that reflects light and looks amazing.

  • Bold colours

    Tile trends for 2018 are moving away from the pastel shades of previous years to darker, bolder colours. The use of dark colours adds a sense of luxury and opulence and who doesn’t want that?  This year is the year to be “brave with colour” – according to Pantone Colour Institute (who should know what they’re talking about when it comes to colour!), 2018’s colour of the year is Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that evokes mystery and intrigue.

  • Multi-sized tiles (modular)

    There is a definite move towards creating interesting designs with different sized tiles. Modular tiles inject personality into a room, adding interest and breaking up, what would otherwise be, a linear, symmetrical pattern. These tiles are laid in regular and regimented patterns that allow for endless creative genius!
