Hello and welcome to the October/November issue of Tomorrow’s Tile & Stone!


As the seasons are changing and the year is coming to an end, so too are the major industry shows. Since our last issue, we have seen some of the sector’s biggest events take place, mapping out the trends to look out for throughout the year ahead. Of course, we also had the big reveal of Dulux’s Colour of the Year for 2020; which will see many homeowners and designers go green, incorporating the “Tranquil Dawn” hue within their interior schemes.

Arguably the most anticipated event in the industry calendar, Cersaie once again returned to Bologna this September- welcoming record numbers of visitors from across the globe. You’ll find a full report of the show amongst our industry updates. One major statistic that organisers confirmed was that ceramic manufacturers made up the exhibitor majority at this year’s event. Offering an insight into why ceramic tiles have become so popular, we have a specific focus on Ceramic Tiles in this issue. Whether its statistics, advice or inspiration you’re looking for, we have everything from market reports to trends comment to help keep you way ahead of the game.


As usual, we also have all of the latest industry updates and launches, and Easy Bathrooms’ Rob Holroyd is the industry expert answering our ‘Ten Questions’.


I hope you enjoy the issue! EDITOR’S VOICE
