TEXTURE ON TOP
See it, feel it, layer it
Texture imbues a room with depth, dimension, and visual interest. In tile, texture can be real, simulated, abstract—or even imagined. Use texture to layer a space of any size in any number of ways. Opt for big dimensionality, small/intricate dimensionality, subtle/micro texturing, or finishes that create optical illusions. The textural vision is yours.
WELLNESS IN DESIGN
Feel good inside and out
Wellness is still leading the way in all facets of design and architecture—with good reason. By incorporating organic and sustainable materials and biophilic design into the built environment, we honor nature, respect the planet, and promote our own well-being. Choose natural stone, eco-friendly LVT, recycled materials, and tile inspired by the forms and materials found in nature.
COZY COLORS
Warm up to earth tones
It can be cold out there. Warm colors call to mind sunshine and fire, so we find them inviting and intimate. Warm, elemental earth tones can also make us feel both safe and spirited. It’s no wonder we’re leaning toward warmer palettes—think shades of red, yellow, orange, gold, even deep gray and taupe. Earthy hues can literally lift our mood as well as elevate our rooms.
STYLE REVIVAL
Everything old is new again
No matter what you’ve heard, our insiders tell us that the demise of some period styles (Art Deco and midcentury modern, to name two) has been greatly exaggerated. We’re finding the same is true of open-concept floorplans, wood looks, checkerboard floors, and all-white kitchens. So, is it safe to say that some design “trends” play on a continuous loop? We think so; take a look.
BIG AND BOLD
Fearless formats and patterns
We may be feeling braver in a post-pandemic world, or perhaps we’re just tired of subtlety, but shy-and-retiring design is headed for the door. While we’re on the fence over maximalism (still not loving clutter), we are favoring scene-stealing surfaces—from floors and walls to ceilings and countertops. Size matters and so does style: Think stone slabs, large-format tile, bold mosaics, and gutsy patterns.
CURATED ESSENTIALS
Standing the test of time
As trends, micro-trends, fads, and fancies come and go, one thing we know for sure is that some things are classics, simply here to stay. Appearing on wish lists year after year, these include timeless materials (marble, terrazzo); shapes (octagons, hexagons); patterns (chevron, herringbone); and lasting looks (limestone, travertine). We call them our curated essentials.
