Tiles Inspired by Nature

Terrazzo continues to dominate and is widely used for flooring and even for surfaces. The tiles exude a playful theme with various colour and scales to add an exciting and fun look.

Black is Black

Black has certainly made a strong entry in 2019. Dark interiors have quickly come to fruition, a prominent bathroom design trend against the centre of attention of rose gold accents and homewares which has come from nowhere in 2018. With the average size of a bathroom being a little on the smaller side, dark colours in the bathroom are generally uncommon as they can make a small bathroom appear even smaller, but with the right textures and finishes from Johnson Tiles, you can really make a room pop particularly when selecting grout colours. The dark interiors bathroom trend has given the tiling fashion a new fashion statement, and has enabled an innovative attitude to the way people view living standards. The way people have been using dark colours in the bathroom is by using darker shades in small amounts. A dark blue, grey or even dark red feature wall is a great way to nail this popular bathroom colour trend. Try our Vintage or Bevelled Edge black ranges to give you an idea of the styles we have.

Gone are the Gloomy Grey Days 

Arguably the biggest trend to hit bathroom design in the past decade, grey bathroom trends of 2019 are taking the tiling trends by storm every year—try our Urban Cement, Cemento and Cementum ranges! One of the reasons why this is such a big hit is because grey bathrooms offer a unique softness with understated feeling associated with them. The Grey colour scheme can work in both traditional and contemporary settings due to it’s a neutral and balanced colour, and rooms will continue keep their shape despite the inevitable upcoming trends to come. Some fancy yet simple ways to spruce up your spaces on the colour palette is to add grey tiles, subtle bathroom furniture or even a grey freestanding bath with rose gold or matt black assents.

Textured Surfaces

In the world of tiles, the use of textures continues to be the fundamental element to take the allure to a new level of excellence. Tiles with an organic pattern like Milan, Cevisama and Cersaie can have a mix of matt and gloss finish. The crackle or raku effect can be used to give tiles tactility to enhance its overall look and feel.

The structure of the tile also makes a huge difference and can be used to evoke a sense of movement. Inspiration for such tiles is drawn from architectural structures and geometrics. There is also a rise in the use of curved and ribbed surfaces with matt finish gaining popularity.

Pattern

Patterned tiles are back in trend but with a modern twist. The use of geometrics is still om the rise with hexagons, triangles and diamonds used extensively. These super-stylish tile designs have been such a big hit in the last few years and this year has been no exception. Patchwork is also a popular option with many possibilities with the use of muted, bolder or metallic shades. The latest trend has also seen a shift towards the use of unusual shapes. By making use of teardrops, scalloped fish scales and more, interior designers are making impressive design statements. The popularity and demand of patterned tiles means that nowadays there are an abundance of designs on the market so you’re sure to find a design that fits in within your theme. Create a statement with our huge range of patterned tiles or plain tiles and then delicately add a feature ‘statement’ to your bathroom or kitchen floors—this will break it up nicely.

Maximalism

This trend is characterized by the use of impactful colours, large patterns and the use of clashing textures. There is the use of colours like yellow, orange, reds to give an instant lift to any space. This year has also seen the floral pattern taking a step back. Combined with intricate detailing there has been the use of tropical plants with bold prints.

Wellness

This trend focuses on well-being and is the preferred option for creating calm spaces. This trend is especially popular in the workplace and makes use of natural materials like stone and wood to draw a sense of closeness to nature.

Be it the kitchen, bathroom, living space or entryway, tiles can be used in any space to add a sense of interest. As a homeowner, you may also wonder if you should opt for porcelain or ceramic tiles. Wondering which one makes a practical and durable option? Read on to know the differences.

Ceramic Vs Porcelain Tiles

Even though both the tiles look similar, there exist some noticeable differences between the two. Porcelain tiles are denser and less porous as compared to ceramic tiles. This implies that porcelain tiles are ideal for both indoor and outdoor areas and are hard-wearing. Due to the manufacturing technique used, porcelain tiles make the perfect option for spaces that endure heavy traffic like the kitchen and hallway. This tile is also resistant to scratching and chipping.

Ceramic tiles are very versatile and can be used for different types of spaces without worrying about stains. The tile is easy to maintain as dirt and stains can be simply mopped away. The tile is also highly resistant to dust and allergens. This can ensure that the air is free from allergens.
