Floor Tile Designs 2018

As homeowners look for fresh designs and innovative technologies, trends change often to meet the contemporary demands. From wall and floor tiles to bathroom basin units, new catalogues are presented every year. 2017 was all about medium brown tones; ebony and driftwood for floors were quite popular.


With graphic printing and reinforced materials overtaking the manufacturing process, tiles have captured the interior design scene. If you’re looking for substitutes for the classic wood floors or carpeting in 2018, here are a few styles that can help you achieve a unique look for your floors:    

Custom Patterns

Homeowners are widely using patterns to introduce some character to basics. Printing onto porcelain and ceramic tiles with digital ink have been adapted well and opened up a new horizon for designers. As a result, a number of colours and fabulous patterns are available for use. Shaped tiles in a variety of colours are the new trend this year with the furniture of the room in contrasting hues.   

Pastels

Hues like lavender, pale yellow, sea green, blush are being used to decorate walls and floors alike. The famous shades of pink are somewhat old news. The less-saturated effect of pastels brings a simple and serene effect which goes well with other trends this year.

Tone-to-Earth

A wide range of tiles are used to embellish floors that resemble neutral elements. The main reason why this trend is back in fashion after the 1970s is that it inclines towards nature and its ability to exude a more serene look on the space. The colour palette includes sand browns, clay, grass-like greens and red and golden tones suggestive of the sun.

Print it out

Geometric shapes along with parquetry and herringbone have introduced unique ways to construct walls and floors alike. The classic brick formation is transitioning into vertical and chevron arrangements with metro tiles. The triangle shape is a contemporary upgrade to the hexagonal tile which has seen a fair share of popularity in the recent past.

Mixed materials

Tiles are much more economical than stone or wood. Innovations in the industry have produced tiles that resemble the real thing – wood or stone. Long plank wood tiles are entering the scene and making it easier for owners to get the same look with a more practical solution.
