This past Sunday was #NationalTileDay, so I thought I'd center this post around, well, tile! Originally, I had planned to list the types of tile and properties of each, but I didn't want this post to be longer than it already will be, nor turn this into a boring lecture on tile, lol. So I decided to just provide you with a few 2020 tile trends. Here we goooo!
First up, subway tiles. These have been trending for years now, and they don't seem to be going anywhere, any time soon. Trending arrangements of this timeless tile include laying them in a herringbone pattern, and alternating the sizes and colors. Subway tiles come in a wide range of fun colors and patterns/looks like the marble look shown in the photo below, and are typically installed in kitchens and bathrooms.
“And I mean, who doesn't enjoy saving some coins?”
Next, I present to you faux marble. An alternative to marble for many years, faux marble tile helps to achieve the high-end, luxurious look of marble tile for a fraction of the cost. And I mean, who doesn't enjoy saving some coins?
Up next is wood look tile. This tile comes with such a wide range of benefits, that it's no wonder new homeowners are choosing it over traditional, real wood flooring. It is long-lasting and comes in a variety of options, and unlike real wood, it can be installed in pretty much any area of your home, including wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, it is scratch resistant, doesn't expand or warp when exposed to moisture, and is easy to clean, making upkeep a dream.
Moving on to 3D Textured Wall Tiles; one of my favorite tile trends and one of my go-tos when developing renderings since college days. [S/O my design bestie, Dylan, for putting me on). I enjoy using 3D tiles because they add interest and texture to a space. They help to "break it up" in a sense, especially if another material is consistently being used on other walls. 3D tiles are great for backsplashes and accent walls.
Finally, we have Blending. One of the newer trends, blending as its name suggests, involves blending material effects like wood and concrete, wood and fabric, or wood and terrazzo. This trend is ideal for the homeowner who enjoys taking risks.
