Tile Trends for Summer

You may be planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or are revamping your outdoor living space for the summer. Regardless of your renovation project, you’ll be looking for wall and flooring solutions. The use of tiles throughout your whole home is growing more popular, with tiles also being used in bedrooms and living areas. Whether you have a traditional or modern home design, these are the leading tile trends of 2021 and will continue to be popular due to their timeless, classic looks.

1. Wooden naturals looks

Since the start of the pandemic last year, there has been a huge growth in wellness design and nature in design, known as biophilia in the home interior market. With everyone spending so much time in their home and having to adapt to new ways of working, there seems to be a desire for using natural materials in homes as they evoke calm environments and a sense of nature. People are seeking to bring the outdoor in through the use of wood effect tiles which feature more natural and untreated wood looks. The Scandinavian style Barnwood Tilden Grey Wood Effect Floor tile is the perfect choice if you are looking for natural inspirations.

2. Spa style 

The spa style ties into the natural looks discussed above, with nature-inspired textures and tones proving popular this year. Textured materials and natural colours that evoke sand are used to create a spa-like feel in your bathroom. Concrete effect tiles such as the Signo Blanco Matt tile are perfect for creating that sense of escapism and tranquility in your chosen space.

3. Soft blues and greens

Nature-inspired textures and tones that evoke the sea, sky and forest are also seeing a rise in popularity this year. Muted and soft blues and greens have a calming and peaceful essence about them that replicates that spa-like feel. The blue colours featured in the Abril Cielo Blue tile are serene and calming, emulating the colour of the ocean and the sky. If calming blues are what you’re looking for, explore the full Abril Collection.

4. Large format 

If you are opting for a more contemporary interior, large format tiles are being used for countertops, tables, walls and floors. With fewer grout lines, these tiles can help you achieve that stunning, sleek and minimalistic look. They also simplify home maintenance as they are much easier to keep clean. Often replicating marble and other precious stones, these tiles are perfect for creating a grand and luxurious look in your home. The Sun Only tile displayed below is a thing of beauty. Each tile features unique and realistic veining which gives your space a completely unique and extraordinary look.

Whilst these are tile trends this year, they are trends that are timeless. Explore our full collection of tiles here and transform your home for the summer.
