Tiles are a great way to transform the look of a room in an instant, whether they are being used on the floor, as a backsplash, in a shower, or even in a fireplace. In 2023, experts predict that homeowners will be interested in experimenting with new and bolder tile styles, as opposed to the cookie-cutter shapes and monochromatic tones of washed-out white and grey that have dominated the market in previous years. In the realm of interior decoration, 2023 will be all about organic forms, high texture, vivid patterns, and sculptural centerpieces. We’ve compiled a list of the top 8 tile trends that interior designers will be anticipating in the year 2023.
Crafted Ceramics
Each tile is unique since it was produced by hand, creating a warm and welcoming organic and handcrafted aesthetic. The time and effort put into manufacturing handmade tiles is reflected in the unique style they exude. The color and texture diversity found in nature work to make any room seem more three-dimensional.
Glossy Finish
To make a room seem more open and bright, use high-gloss tiles. Many homeowners may use glossy surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom to create inviting and bright spaces. The reflective quality of tile with metallic undertones or metal embellishments may also create a sheen that adds a sense of luxury to the interior design.
Patterns and Mosaics for Decoration
We should expect to witness a transfer of the current trend for use of bright colors and intricate patterns in furniture and upholstery to the tile industry. Decorative tile has the potential to give a wall an illustrated appearance, transforming it into a piece of art. Tile with a bold pattern may draw the eye, while tiles in muted tones won’t overwhelm the space. If you’re not ready to dedicate a whole wall to a colorful print or mosaic, consider using one as an accent wall and covering the rest of the wall with plain tiles in a similar color or form.
Actual Rocks
These last several years have seen a real explosion in interest in biophilic design, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. Tiles produced from natural stones like granite, slate, marble, travertine, and limestone will continue to be popular among homeowners, according to industry experts. These tiles are not only classic and elegant, but also long-lasting and simple to clean.
Textured Tile
In addition, textured and three-dimensional tile (also known as tactile tile) is predicted to rise in popularity in the next year. Walls with a sculptural impression may be achieved using textured, ornamental tile. If you don’t want to go crazy with color or pattern, this is a simple way to introduce such elements to a space. Additionally, a wide variety of textures are available for your selection. As we’ve previously established, organic and ‘perfectly imperfect’ handmade tiles have been popular, but geometric and metallic patterns are also on the rise.
Monochromatic Checkerboard Patterns
Checkerboard tiles with strong contrast are a classic. Although black and white is timeless, imagine the potential of a more subtle contrast. This emerging style is a lot of fun, especially for people who like to use neutral colors but are still open to trying something new.
Statement Backsplashes
For 2023, bold backsplashes will be all the rage. While kitchens have historically been planned around cabinets or countertops, more and more attention is being paid to the backsplash as a design focal point. The kitchen backsplashes of today are works of art in their own right. A trend that is diametrically opposed to subway tile is emerging.
Unique Shapes
Unique forms will be quite popular in 2023 as homeowners continue to embrace unconventional aesthetics. More and more individuals seem to be eschewing the traditional square tile in favor of more unconventional shapes.
