Over the course of the last few years, ceramic tiles have firmly cemented their place as a go to product when choosing flooring
the home and extremely hard-wearing. The beauty of these tiles is that you can carry them from the wall to the floor and from room to room. Not only suited to bathrooms, this style of tile can be brought to living areas too, giving new builds a unique, contemporary look.
Colours of 2015
Colours tend to change each year in terms of popularity, but some remain universally popular. For example, radiant orchid was the Pantone colour of the year for 2014, and is set to domi- nate 2015 again, along with crushed grape and an array of other colours.
True blue
Blue is still big for 2015. From dark indigo shades through to washed out coastal inspired blue hues.
Guilty pleasure
Metallic colour palettes are strong for 2015. Colours range from burnished gold, beaten cop- per and worn pewter. They are understated, aged and distressed rather than brash and new.
Shades of grey
Grey is still a huge influence on interior design schemes. The difference from last year is the shade of grey is now cooler and multiple tones are used together to create a layering effect. It is a strong foundation for adding colour flashes and contrasting highlights.
Mid century
This is a combination of colours which were prevalent in the 1950s, but all with a muted slightly greyed off feel. Colours include; char- treuse, burnt orange, grey, warm brown, teal green and petrol blue.
Design predictions for 2015
Smaller formats and different shapes are set to take the interior world by storm next year. From hexagons and tapered planks through to inter- locking shapes, the possibilities are endless. Textured tiles will be key, whether that’s
through the look of them i.e. wood and grass effect, or the feel of the material. Not only does it give floors personality, they can add definition and texture to a room while also having the added benefit of bouncing light around the room, making a space feel bigger than itactually is. Warm wood is a key theme that will be seen
in the home throughout 2015, bringing a sense of the outdoors in, while adding warmth. Tiles capturing the essence of the Victorian
period will carry on through to next year, with very intricate patterns and geometric styles, bringing a characterful, antique look to new builds.
