2021 Tile trends

Tile, Tiles and more Tiles

Choosing a tile for your bathroom is not so simple. 

Tiles are the ideal material for a bathroom environment being strong, moisture-resistant, reliable, heat-resistant and durable for wall cladding in a room with a unique microclimate.

There are so many different designs in form, colour and texture that you can get lost in the choice. 

That’s why manufacturers have expanded their choices to provide truly unique styles for bathroom linings. They focus on patterns, colours, shapes and tile configurations. Here are a few of the trends flowing into 2021.

Graphic Pattern

The popularity of patterned tiles continues to grow. From metro tiles to patterned ceramics, it’s safe to say that graphic tiles can be anywhere. This style really gives homeowners the opportunity to use their creative imagination.

Matt tiles

Matt tiles have a soft but powerful style that doesn’t look too overwhelming, unlike glossy ceramics. The advantage of dullness is that water stains do not remain on it, as on a glossy one, on which the smallest spots are visible. This makes them ideal for flooring in the bathroom, especially in large bathrooms. Haze makes them easier to maintain. When laying tiles with a matt finish, make sure that there is enough light, both natural and artificial, as they do not reflect light.

Glossy finishes give the bathroom a more dramatic effect. They tend to create an elegant, highly polished appearance. That is why gloss is still popular. Glossy tiles are especially good for small bathrooms, as they tend to reflect a lot of light and create a sense of space that is larger than it seems. But since they need additional maintenance work and are dangerous to slip, glossy tiles are often used on walls or floors in a bathroom with little traffic.

Neutral 

Modern design makes extensive use of neutral colours, and this remains the topic for 2021 bathroom tile trends. Bright colours such as blue, red and yellow are not common in the bathroom and will not become a bright star in the near future. Instead, homeowners are increasingly falling in love with neutrals and especially light neutrals such as grey and cream. Gray and beige have become very popular as extra neutral.

For bathrooms that need a bit more brightness, white is perfect. The bathroom is designed for relaxation, and these colours enhance this atmosphere. Being neutral, they allow you to relax, creating a quiet place.

Textured finish

Add variation, colour depth and surface interest to any area of the bathroom by adding textured tiles. Textures may appear thin or pronounced depending on the material used, the applied finish and the desired colour.

Three-dimensional tiles can inspire anything from sensation to an object or place. But when everything is said and done, it is usually considered a work of art. This category is presented in all kinds of shapes, sizes and styles, which can be combined into endless combinations for a one-of-a-kind space.
