Shape Up
Thinking of getting tile? Don’t be square! This year’s trend calls for interesting shapes and mosaics, using ovals, harlequin, hexagon and penny tiles.
It’s Baaaaack
The vintage, hand-crafted look of the 70’s and 80’s is back. Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of modern elements ̶ especially when it comes to flooring ̶ to keep the room from looking like a time-capsule.
Go Nautical
Nautical design is one of the hottest trends of this summer, and easy to pull off with vibrant colors (Coral, yellow, navy and teal), naturally found elements (driftwood, beach glass and shells) and nautical fabric patterns (polka dots and chunky stripes).
Distress Yourself
It’s no secret distressed plank walls are in right now ̶ they are everywhere! For a low-maintenance version that’s easy to clean and has the look of reclaimed barnwood, pre-distressed wood-look tiles are a great solution.
Alfresco Style
Outdoor rooms deserve just as much attention as indoor spaces, especially when alfresco dining is in season. Polyester fabric, high-density outdoor foam and synthetic fibers will hold up better to the elements while giving your patio a style boost.
