Learn more about the hottest tile on the market and how to incorporate it into your style with flooring services in Victoria. 

Wood Look 

Tile that looks like wood is rounding the corner for the hottest trend in tiling this year. Rather than installing actual hardwood flooring, homeowners opt for more sustainable and durable tile that looks like wood. Tile with a wood-look also creates surprise when seated in outdoor areas, adding an indoor aspect to the outdoor world. 

Large Format 

Gone are the days of standard-size tile. Remember a few years back when teeny tiny penny tile was a huge hit? This is like that but at the other end of the spectrum. The pendulum has now swung in the totally opposite direction. Designers are choosing a large format style to open up areas with bright grout lines against darker floors. Large-format tiles add an almost techy focus while providing the clean, geometric lines that contemporary design offers. 

Natural Stone 

Natural stone is here to show its longevity on the trend scale. It seems no matter the time of the year or the era for style, natural stone is a mainstay in homes worldwide. Natural stone can provide both a sleek and organic element. Stone can soften or modernize a room. Natural stone is versatile and beautiful, and it is no wonder why it continues to stay on the charts. 

Retro Concrete

A few years ago, when industrial design was making its debut, concrete had its moment. Well, now concrete has returned, and it’s back with an old friend. Retro has joined forces with concrete to offer sleek and sexy 70’s style designs that add a modern touch to homes. Big patterns with modular designs contrast the cold, matter finish of the concrete. Retro concrete flooring gives off the same industrial vibe but now with an air of shag carpet, but without the actual shag carpet. 

High Gloss

High gloss floors are all the rage. In fact, some people are turning to paint rather than reno to achieve a high gloss look. Remember that even the best floor paint will wear over time and can create quite a mess to strip, sand, and refurbish. High gloss tile with matching grout to create a monotone foundation for your room is a professional approach to the high gloss paint aesthetic but will last for far longer. 

Bold Patterns 

Tiles with bold patterns are back on the runway. I mean, hallway. Interior designers have returned to choosing bold patterns to mix with bright designs, both contrasting against white walls. Alternately selecting a mixture of bold patterns on walls and floors create a controlled chaos of lush patterns and deep colours that create a feeling of extravagance. 

Contrasting Materials

Ceramic tiles placed next to marble tiles, wood-look tiles next to modern terrazzo tiles, tiles all together are free for another new design trend that homeowners are loving. This mix and match of tiles are like a contrasting materials quilt for your flooring. Cozy and chaotic, mixing patterns and textures is an organic and tactile smorgasbord for interior design.
