top 10 tile trends
for 2023
Whether you are redesigning a bathroom or redecorating your living space, tiles are an incredibly popular way to add a finishing touch to the room. In recent years, with so many beautiful bathroom and kitchen tiles available, many of our customers are choosing tiles for use in other home areas too.
Take a look at the latest tiling trends for 2023 and discover the most stylish options for everything from the kitchen and bathroom to your hallway floor and focal-point fireplace.
1.
Green Wall Tiles
Green is proven to be a calming colour. It’s versatile too, and can be paired with crisp white to create a modern feel, or combined with neutral creams for a more traditional style. This year we are seeing a rise in the number of customers looking for both pastel shades and darker green wall tiles, with hexagonal tiles, in particular, proving to be a very popular style. These tiles are stunning when used as a focal feature, such as within a wetroom, shower or backsplash, and they can be effortlessly paired with other tiles, wood and an array of paint colours.
2.
Patterned Tiles
Many of our customers are choosing to incorporate patterned tiles into new areas of their homes, and this year more people are opting for bolder patterns, such as geometric styles and even botanical prints. In previous years, patterned tiles were used as a focal feature in showers and kitchen backsplashes, but as tile designers create an ever-expanding range, they are being used in fireplaces, floors and even as focal walls in bedrooms.
3.
Bright Colours
Blue and green proved to be very popular shades in 2022, and this year we are seeing new, brighter colours taking the top spot. From bright pinks to yellows and oranges, coloured tiles will instantly add a pop of colour to kitchen tiles or bathroom tiles. When combined with matching patterned tiles, it is possible to create an exciting finish which will certainly capture attention.
4.
Octagon Floor Tiles
Octagon pattern tiles are a timeless option for a floor area, and this year many of our customers are opting for this unique, traditional design. In the past, black-and-white tiles were used to create a popular octagon-style pattern, but this year new colours are also making an appearance as we look for new ways to carry our colour choices through to our tiling. This is a classic trend which will work in rooms of all sizes. We have a variety of octagon pattern tiles available that are perfect for use as bathroom tiles, kitchen tiles, hallway tiles, and more.
5.
Wood Effect Floor Tiles
One of the main tiling trends for 2023 is the growing demand for tiles inspired by nature, which is why our wood effect tiles are so popular. These timber-style planks are the perfect way to create the feel and look of a natural wooden floor – without painstaking maintenance. Not only are these tiles highly durable, but they can be used throughout the home. Many of our customers are choosing to lay these tiles in living rooms, hallways and even bedrooms, as they are easy to clean and work brilliantly with underfloor heating.
6.
Textured Tiles
Although classic gloss tiles will always be a design staple, many of our customers are drawn to textured tiles that add a three-dimensional feel to the surface this year. These tiles work beautifully in bathrooms with plenty of natural light, as the sunlight captures the ripples in the tiles and creates natural shadows that change throughout the day. The tactile quality works well with natural stone finishes, and with a variety of neutral colours available, there are options for every décor style.
7.
Metro Tiles
Metro tiles have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their timeless style and versatility. They’re perfect for creating a modern, streamlined look in any room, with sleek, simple designs that mark them as a great choice for contemporary interior design. They come in a variety of colours and sizes, making it easy to customise your chosen look. Metro tiles are particularly popular for feature walls, as their glossy finish can give any space an instant boost of brightness, making it appear larger. Durable and easy to clean, they’re long-lasting too, so you won't have to worry about replacing them anytime soon.
8.
Moroccan-Inspired Tiles
It is no surprise that the beauty and unique design of Moroccan tiles is making the style so popular. The stunning patterns and natural colours within Moroccan-style tiles lend themselves to use within bathrooms and kitchens, where the handcrafted feel adds an interesting finish. We recommend pairing it with stunning terracotta shades, natural wood and lots of plants to create a relaxing space that everyone in the home will enjoy.
9.
Marble Effect Bathroom Tiles
Marble tiles are timeless. However, they can be expensive. This year many of our customers are looking for ways to incorporate a luxurious feel within their bathrooms, whilst sticking to a budget, and our marble effect bathroom tiles are the ideal choice. From glamorous white tiles with gold veins to dark grey with bold white veins, there are plenty of options to choose from.
10.
Mosaic Tiles
A classic that never goes out of style – mosaic tiles are once again on trend for 2023. It’s a versatile style that spans all the way from ancient Greece while still managing to look contemporary and great in the home. Mosaic tiles are a good way to brighten up any room and are especially great for a highlight or feature wall. We offer a contemporary range of mosaic tiles made from an extensive variety of materials including natural stone, glass, ceramic, and porcelain.
