See what’s on the horizon for tile colors, patterns and shapes, as seen recently at The International Surface Event.
Distressed finishes, geometric designs and three-dimensional surfaces were some of the big looks for tile on display recently at The International Surface Event in Las Vegas. The annual trade show highlights new products for the tile, stone and floor coverings industries. Here are five tile trends seen at the January 2019 event.
Weathered Surfaces
Many exhibits featured tiles that combined contemporary designs with distressed, weathered finishes, a look that has been gaining in popularity. The design seen here, from Emser Tile’s Rhapsody collection, has the worn finish and modern floral and diagonal patterns that exemplify the trend. “Rustic modern tends to be a huge trend,” says Crista Tekstra, senior brand manager at Emser. “We continue to see modern but distressed looks and patterns.”
A Medley of Shapes
The tile collections seen at the event included diverse shapes and colors. Daltile’s new Color Wheel collection has rectangular field tiles as well as mosaics in herringbone, hexagonal and lattice-weave shapes. The wall seen here is tiled with the collection’s herringbone mosaics.
New Takes on Texture
More tiles are showing up with three-dimensional or etched surfaces, making them textured and touchable. Daltile’s Vintage Metals line emulates industrial Victorian-era metallic ceiling tiles. The collection includes four 4-inch-square tile designs; a mosaic fan shape, seen here; and an arabesque-shape tile that is shown below. Color options are whitewashed titanium, iron or bronze, and surface options are plain or patterned.
Muted Palettes
Subdued patterns were popular in many collections at the show. Daltile’s faux-encaustic and floral porcelain tile, called Modern Hearth, is a contemporary take on the popular patterned style.
“Last year we saw encaustics come in very strong, with their bright patterns. This year we’re seeing that they’re still very prevalent in style and design but in a more muted, subtle color,” says Daltile’s Martinson.
New Geometrics
The tile industry is awash in fresh takes on geometric patterns, from soft whimsical arabesques to large-format hexagons and cubes. The new Revalia line from Daltile has kaleidoscopic mosaics, as on the wall shown here, as well as rectangles and geometric fan shapes.
