Here are the 2016 tile trends that are currently making a big splash...

Wood Look Tile

Reclaimed wood flooring is more popular than ever, which is why wood look-a-like porcelain and ceramic tiles are a soaring trend. With new digital inkjet and imaging technologies, tile manufacturers are able to recreate the look of any hardwood floor in a very convincing, durable, and affordable fashion. Whether you are looking for a dark finish, whitewash, large planks, or parquet, you can find any of these options in either porcelain or ceramic wood look-a-like tile. They are easy to maintain, cost effective, and environmentally friendly

Brick Tile

Brick tile, also called thin brick or brick veneer, is a popular building material and can be used anywhere from building walls, pathways, and floors to fireplaces and steps. Brick tiles are aesthetically appealing, slip resistant, and easy to clean. They are also fire and fade resistant. They come in all shapes, sizes and styles, from polished to rustic. They can mimic the look of old brick walls, painted marble, and wood designs.

Supersize Ceramic Tile

The improvements in tile manufacturing technology have facilitated the production of larger square and rectangular tiles. The result has been the ultimate luxury look of the contemporary styles combined with clean surfaces and minimal amount of grout lines. If you like the look of small tiles, consider using them for a backsplash or smaller spaces. The supersize ceramic tiles are also being used to cover surfaces including work tops, splash backs, built-in furniture, and seamless wall installations.

3D Tile

3D tile is very prominent in all kinds of designs this year. While trends still favor neutral colors, textures and patterns are more versatile. Look for geometric patterns, waves, handcrafted look, and high-low mosaic patterns. Adding 3D tiles can transform even the most mundane and outdated space into a stunning masterpiece that will leave your guests mesmerized.

Gray & Metallic Tile

There is nothing more dramatic, luxurious, and sophisticated than the look of glistening silvers and golds. Metallic tiles are becoming increasingly popular in kitchen backsplashes, or as wall highlights. The reflective properties of the light in the metal tile can make a small room appear larger, and a subdued room more vivacious. These tiles work well with any color palette from neutrals to bright, bold color. The most popular pairing of metal tiles is with gray hues, which creates a classy, calm, and relaxing environment

Cement Look Tile

Cement-look tile is becoming extremely popular in large spaces. The softer and warmer hues of grey, taupe, and beige make it suitable for various projects. We are starting to notice the paring of the rustic and slightly aged "cotto" look and concrete, which gives the otherwise plain concrete more depth and character. This allows us to use cement look tile in more classic designs rather than just modern designs.

Marble Look Tile

The classic high-end look of marble is what everyone dreams about. Finally, porcelain tile that looks just like marble is here and is more realistic than ever. The classic marble look with its white background and grey veining is one of the top sellers of 2016. The versatility of porcelain makes it possible for the marble look to go where it has never gone before - floor, wall, mosaic, and mixed with other materials. The possibilities are limitless.
