Take Notes, These New Tile Trends Will Be Huge in 2022

Sinotile • Feb 25, 2022

If you want to update your tile design, there are many ways to achieve that.

The texture and colour of a tiled wall far surpass those of paint. Similarly, it has a remarkable power to simplify complicated hues and finishes.

In 2022, there will be no shortage of fresh tile ideas, which are understandably popular with designers and homeowners alike. Colourful combination, original layouts and areas to spread mortar are popping up all over the place.

Before installing tiles in the room, consider these questions carefully. A room's purpose, foot traffic, and function are important to consider, along with allergies, and whether children or pets will be present there.

Tile Trends To Keep an Eye On

This year, tiles are trending in two directions. One interpretation emphasises the matching of colours, shapes, and textures based on the surrounding room, and the other involves mixing and matching textures and shapes as accents.

The spread of wallpaper from the wall to the ceiling can be seen in a more general design sense in bathrooms, among others. Tiles are now following suit. As a means of extending the colour and texture, the same tile is used on the wall instead of just the floor.

In spite of the predictable areas getting more tile attention this year, the interpretation of tile is unique. This year's tile trends are not typical subway tiles or floor tiles, typically found in bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms.

It is no doubt that a tiled exterior would transform a kitchen island that may feel a bit bland. Additionally, bookshelves and tiles extending from the shower to the floor can be found inside the room. Rooms are also becoming bolder and more trendy thanks to the use of colours, so even a simple tile layout will hold its own.

Add a Splash of Colour

Bringing life to overdone neutrals and bright whites in 2022 will be jewel-toned colours. There have already been mentions of the popularity of teal, mustard yellow, and even rust-coloured tiles. These tones make a big impact without too much effort.

No matter what your preference is, there are endless ways to revamp your tiles while still feeling contemporary and staying true to your personal style. Play with the shapes and finishes on one wall, or use a trendy terracotta colour.

Express Yourself

We will explore different blends of tile shapes and styles throughout 2022.

The possibilities are endless. Try sticking hexagons to a shower wall and installing chevron tiles on the opposite wall. The floor of the kitchen might be covered with rectangular slates, and the sink could be surrounded by circular penny tiles.

It can be fun to revamp laundry rooms and kitchens as well. If you add an emerald or turquoise tile to the walls above the terracotta floor tile, it will stand out even more. Paler shades of orange or rust on the backsplash would be more complementary to the floor.

A trend might be a continuation of last years or an experimental twist on tradition.

Experiment with colour and geometric shapes in nooks and crannies that would benefit from a splash of colour.
