As we step into 2023, the world of interior design continues to evolve, bringing fresh and exciting trends to the forefront, especially in the realm of tiles. At Kennedy Tile, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve, and we’re thrilled to share with you the latest trends in tile design that are making waves this year.
What’s In:
- Natural Stone Look: This year, we’re seeing a surge in the popularity of tiles that mimic natural stone. The trend reflects a growing desire for organic, earthy aesthetics in living spaces. These tiles offer the beauty of natural stone with the durability and ease of maintenance that comes with ceramic or porcelain.
- Large Format Tiles: Say goodbye to small, busy patterns. In 2023, it’s all about making a bold statement with large format tiles. These tiles are not only visually stunning but also create a sense of space and continuity, making them perfect for both small and large rooms.
- Textured Surfaces: Tiles aren’t just about visuals anymore; texture is becoming increasingly important. Textured tiles add depth and interest to any space, creating an engaging tactile experience. From subtle ripples to pronounced 3D designs, these tiles are sure to add character to any room.
- Vibrant Colors and Patterns: While neutral tones have their place, vibrant colors and bold patterns are making a comeback. Think bright blues, greens, and even terracotta. Geometric patterns, too, are gaining popularity, offering a contemporary twist to traditional spaces.
- Sustainable and Eco-friendly Options: In line with global sustainability trends, eco-friendly tiles are in vogue. Recycled materials, sustainable manufacturing processes, and tiles that contribute to better indoor air quality are not just good for the environment but also for our health.
What’s Out:
- Subway Tiles: Once a staple in many homes, the classic subway tile is taking a backseat in 2023. While still a great choice for certain applications, they’re being overshadowed by more dynamic and unique tile options.
- Glossy Finishes: Matte and satin finishes are in, and glossy is on its way out. The less reflective surfaces of matte and satin tiles offer a more sophisticated, contemporary look that complements a wide range of interior styles.
- Overly Ornate Patterns: While patterns are in, overly ornate and complicated designs are fading out of fashion. The trend is leaning towards simpler, cleaner patterns that make a statement without overwhelming the space.
- Cold, Stark Whites: Pure, stark whites are giving way to warmer tones and more natural shades. These offer a cozier and more inviting feel, aligning with the overall trend towards natural and earthy aesthetics.
- Standard Grid Layouts: Creative and unconventional tile layouts are replacing the standard grid patterns. Herringbone, chevron, and other dynamic layouts are becoming more popular, offering a fresh perspective on tile installation.
