It’s trade show time again. This week we’ve been looking at new trends in tiles and at the various wares on show at Surface
Patterned tiles have become a little more adventurous, through the introduction of varied tones in sophisticated pastels that have a more subtle effect and appeal to those who would normally shy away from anything too loud or detailed.
What goes around comes around, and (you might shudder to hear it) 1970s led designs are still continuing. Crazy pavement is back, but it’s had quite the make over. Coloured grout is also growing in popularity. Grey, white and coffee coloured tiles are particularly lifted with orange or teal grouting.
Feature tiles are still going strong, this year will see more 3D tiles entering the market as they continue to be very popular. The other big trend in features tiles is to have an arrangement of back lit stones, or coloured perspex, as a focal point in a bathroom or hall.
