Spotlight On: Shaped and Patterned Tiles
Although the trade shows were unable to go ahead as planned last year, 2020 still brought about many design trends. In the residential sector particularly, homeowners opted for making small, impactful upgrades to their interiors in the form of key statement pieces rather than complete overhauls. A quick scroll of Instagram will show you that when it comes to bathrooms, kitchens and everywhere in between, its shaped and patterned tiles making the most visual noise.
Having manufactured tiles at our factory in Stoke-on-Trent since 1901, we’ve seen many trends come and go. But one thing that’s remained constant in interiors is the desire for something different; the opportunity to create a statement.
Whether ceramic or porcelain, tiles are extremely versatile. They can be applied to walls,
floors, and even furnishings. Bold colour palettes can be paired with a gloss finish for
ultimate dramatic effect, or subtler shades can be enhanced by a slightly off-beat shape for added interest.
Incorporating designs and patterns is also a great way to renovate an existing space.
Whether its a victorian style kitchen, or a more contemporary bathroom, there is something to suit every style such as bold floral prints or even geometric patterns.
To inspire your next interiors project, here is a run-down of our shaped and patterned tiles set to top the list of design trends well into 2021.
