LOCATION: BATHROOMS & KITCHENS IS THE PRICE RIGHT?
The next year is set to see many different tile trends appear that cover a range of design styles, from minimalist to maximalist. Here, Co-director of tile and bathroom suite
specialist Real Stone & Tile, Leigh Price, discusses the tile trends he expects will make a big impact in 2019.
During 2018, we have seen the ever-popular Scandinavian trend continue to thrive, as customers are drawn to the idea of bringing the beauty and simplicity of the outdoors into their interiors.
In 2019, we can expect a combination of traditional real stone tiles and bold modern designs to lead the way in the market. Many of these trends have been popular in 2018, and are building momentum as we head into the new year.
One of the biggest bathroom tile trends that has seen an increase in popularity towards the end of 2018 is textured tiles. Utilising texture in the bathroom can help accentuate the space and add character to a room. This type of stylish tiling can create a bespoke and designer feel, especially if the tiles complement the wider colour scheme of the bathroom. It’s a bold and adventurous decision to make, but the interior design possibilities with these tiles are endless.
Wood-effect tiles have been a firm favourite amongst my customers throughout the year, becoming as popular for the bathroom as they are across other rooms in the home. Wood-effect tiles are in demand due to the variety of shades available, and the ease in which they are maintained when compared to the ‘real thing’. A wood-inspired tile floor can be paired with a feature wall or subtle tones to create a modern, stylish appearance which I anticipate will be a continued trend into 2019.
Many of my customers want tiles which are versatile and blend with different styles, to ensure their bathroom colour schemes can be updated over the years. Wood-effect tiles stand the test of time and work well with a range of different design preferences.

For older, more period- style properties, I’d recommend using warmer tones which replicate the traditional wooden flooring found in many rustic homes. This will ensure you maintain the character and stay in-keeping with the style.
For modern or new build homes, you could be slightly bolder and opt for Scandi-inspired grey and pale wood tones, which can really open up the room and allow you to accessorise with on-trend rose gold taps or metallic, textured wall tiles.
Complementing more neutral palettes, modern mosaic tiles can be used to create a subtle feature wall, with a range of colours and styles to choose from that can really help make your bathroom stand out. Mosaic tiles are great for smaller spaces, such as en-suites, as they allow homeowners to add their own stamp of creativity whilst working well with more subtle, softer tiles. There are a variety of shades available to help you create a completely different look, from Scandi chic to on-trend rustic.
The upcoming year will continue to see homeowners fall in love with large-format tiles. These tiles can be very effective when used to create a sense of space, and are easy to maintain as they are installed with minimal grouting. Perfect for a minimalist style, these tiles are ideal for larger spaces and rooms. The stunning, luxury showroom feel has a fantastic impact on the space, helping your bathroom achieve a stylish, boutique hotel style that so many homeowners desire.
