Are you looking for inspiration for your project?

Here are the ceramic tile trends for 2022.

Subway-Style Tiles

These tiles remain a timeless favorite, and their popularity shows no signs of fading. They are mainly used for kitchen backsplashes and around bathtubs and showers.

Light and Neutral Shades

Many people opt for designs that remain stylish over time.

Porcelain tiles offer a wide variety of neutral shades that are easy to coordinate with your space, including:

White and gray marble imitations;

Industrial-style gray tones;

All shades of beige;

And much more…

Large-Format Tiles

We are seeing a strong trend toward large-format tiles among our clients. These sizes go beyond the classic 12 × 24 and 24 × 24 formats, which remain very popular. Instead, we are seeing a growing preference for 30 × 30 tiles and extra-large (XXL) formats.

Visually, these tiles make rooms appear larger. For example, they can make a small, narrow bathroom feel much more spacious.

Nature-Inspired Colors

Colors bring powerful energy to a space and can evoke feelings of well-being. Green, for example, is often associated with the environment and flourishing vegetation. This color creates a sense of serenity, balance, and good fortune, adding a captivating effect to any room.

Blue, on the other hand, brings the ocean to mind. On a subconscious level, it creates a feeling of tranquility and security. In addition, blue is a timeless color. It is a favorite among many people and is easy to coordinate with other colors.

Hardwood-Look Tiles

Current trends emphasize raw materials and a return to natural elements. These ceramic tiles are printed in high definition to replicate a wide variety of natural wood finishes. This look is highly sought after and is much more suitable for humid spaces than real wood.

Hexagonal Tiles

These tiles highlight key features within a room and provide a distinctive, original look. In addition, a honeycomb-style installation allows you to combine different shades, creating a truly unique space.

Herringbone Installation

A herringbone layout adds a playful touch to any room. Even the simplest tiles can look spectacular when installed in this pattern, for example, on a kitchen backsplash. It allows you to create a bold style and experiment with vibrant colors.

Concrete-Look and Natural Stone-Look Tiles

These styles go hand in hand with the industrial interior design trend. They are highly effective at giving even the most urban spaces a raw, natural appearance. Some models can even reproduce the texture of the original materials!

Warm Colors

Warm-toned ceramic tiles are making a strong comeback. They bring a cozy, welcoming, and comforting atmosphere to a room. Terracotta, for example, is an excellent choice for achieving this look.
