A Return to Natural Texture
Natural Stone is a good example, as it’s full of character and has a rustic feel with a modern twist. It offers a timeless look that will last for years as long as it has the right care and maintenance. Used with underfloor heating, a perfect choice for keeping your feet warm on the colder days. Blended with wood effect tiles, the knots and whirls imitate the look and feel of real wood flooring, whilst also being very strong and practical in most areas of homes.
Bringing the outdoors inside is portrayed through décor and accessories. Patterned wallpaper or a mirror surrounded by distressed wood for a touch of natural texture is another good concept to suggest to homeowners.
Geometrics Shapes
Hexagonal mosaics, intricate shapes and eye-catching patterns. Interior magazines will showcase the hexagonal floor tiles, a great way to incorporate modern shapes in homes on a more low key level.
Traditionally monochrome, multiple colours blending together with slight hints of black are a hit. Tiles are laid in a linear pattern; however the herringbone trend is set to remain as the pattern of choice. Lay the brick-effect tiles like this for an industrial yet very modern look in homes.
