Coverings, North America’s largest international tile and stone exhibition and conference, has announced the top 10 ceramic tile trends for 2023, which are also a sneak peek of the immersive displays that will be on show at the exhibition, taking place in Orlando, Florida, from April 18 to 21.
The tile trends were gathered and forecasted by the three leading international tile associations and sponsors of Coverings 2023 – Ceramics of Italy, Tile Council of North America, and Tile of Spain – to highlight the most popular, on-trend styles of tile from the global marketplace. From sustainability and safety to durability and style, this year’s top 10 trends manifest every imaginable merit of tile.
Bricks Tile Trend
The humble brick conjures a handmade feeling, while also serving as a module for creating wholly unique compositions. Ceramic tile can be stacked horizontally or vertically to create monochromatic environments or mixed with different colors to create myriad patterns like stripes, chevron and herringbone. Some collections offer various finishes and intense chromatic variations to generate visual interest in walls, countertops, and even furnishings.
Cemented Tile Trend
Concrete looks can bring visual harmony to a space and still evoke a raw urban energy. A worn patina effect tells the story, sometimes layered, sanded or tinted. Their subtle color variation and often dimensional texture make them versatile enough to suit a wide range of applications, from bustling corner cafes to serene spa-like garden spaces.
