What’s here to stay?
If you’re looking to update your bathroom but you don’t want the worry of it becoming a daring trend of the past, then the two colours that you can forever rely on are beige and grey. For as long as we can remember these two colours have forever been the two biggest players in the tile market and the reasons behind this are endless, beige and grey are both simplistic neutral shades which can be paired with various other colours with ease and can blend perfectly into a variety of different aesthetics. Being the perfect base colour, if you want to keep everything simplistic why not pair with other neutral shades or if you want to create a fun and bold space why not add a bold pop of any colour you wish, when it comes to neutral shades like beige and grey you don’t need to worry about clashing.

But fear not if you are looking for something a bit bolder and more exciting. There is nothing forcing you to follow the trends as soon as they change, and like I said, the trends move so quickly if you wanted to keep on top of them constantly you could be renovating your home every year! And the only person your tiles need to impress are you, as long as you are happy then you’re onto a winner.

What have been the most popular tiles so far in 2024?

Geometric Mosaics
In previous years we saw a decrease in the usage of mosaic tiles, but since 2023 we have started to see a sudden influx in a demand for mosaic tiles and we can understand why. Gone are the days of only simplistic squares being available with more and more shades and design being available. From the biggest player in the market at the moment, the scallop mosaic to herringbones and bricks, the options now available are endless. 2024 has seen these geometric mosaics be used for feature walls, splashbacks or even on the floor in small rooms such as cloakroom’s and ensuites to really create a unique and fun look.

Herringbones
The herringbone format has been available to consumers for many years but 2024 has really seen it take off, especially now many retailers are offering them in a various different tile format from ceramics to natural stone when in previous years most of time they were only ever really available in wood. With wood affect porcelain now being available as a cost-effective alternative to the real stuff, people are now able to have the same look at a fraction of the price without compromising on quality. You can also now see herringbones available in real marble for some extra glamour or glazed ceramics for the perfect feature wall. Herringbones are also incredibly versatile; a lot of people know herringbones to be laid in the famous arrow formation, but you can also play around with the design and lay them in a variety of different ways to suit your design taste.

Marble Effect Tiles
These ones have been popular for a while, but it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. With porcelain production methods getting stronger and stronger, the quality of print is just getting evermore similar to the look of natural stone. Marble effect porcelains are the perfect way to add sophistication and class to your home without pushing out of the budget and with plenty more designs and imitations becoming available, people are jumping at the chance to replicate real marble in their home when otherwise it may have not been an option for them. Porcelain is a durable material and with such a pleasing price tag we can understand why they have become such a big player.

Patterned Tiles
We have seen an influx in patterned tiles entering the market and people are going mad for them. They are the perfect way to add a bit of fun to your home and are great for uplifting a mundane hallway or a small ensuite that you can use to inject your personality into. We have found that especially when people have a small space to play with, they want it to be different from everywhere else in the home and to be exciting for both them and any guests that visit. Patterened tiles are still available in simplistic black and white designs, but they also come in bold eye catching and colourful schemes for those who want to inject some additional life to their home.

What about garden tile trends?
It is just as important to think about the tiles in the garden as it is inside the rest of the home. Gone are the days of simplistic boring paving, with hundreds of different stones and porcelains available to bring some extra life to your home. We have seen porcelain tiles become incredibly popular in the everyday home. With weatherproof and slip resistant qualities, these porcelain tiles have the durability to last many years in your home and with many different styles and colours available we can understand why people are rushing to get them installed in their gardens ready to enjoy across the summer. But as always, nothing quite compares to natural stone. With their unique characteristics and with the right care they can last a lifetime why wouldn’t you want to use them in your garden, placing them back in their natural habitat.

Now to the drawing board!
Now you’re a fountain of knowledge when it comes to tile design trends, its time for you to embark on your next renovation adventure. Its important to remember the choice is completely yours and there is no right answers when it comes to choosing the perfect tiles for your home, just make sure it is something you are going to love!
