Unique, durable, and elegant tile floors have been at the forefront of what I like to call the flooring revolution. For years, tile has been known as an affordable alternative to natural stone. It has been essential in bathrooms, kitchens, and other water-sensitive zones.
Who would know that porcelain and ceramic tiles would one day compete with warm, traditional hardwood floors?
Over the past decade, mosaics have been completely peeled off, attractively imitating the warmer aspects of wood and even spreading to new textures to provide the most attractive appearance.
In 2020, so far we have seen a focus on large, wood-looking planks, eye-catching patterns, classic tile designs, and many bright new looks.

Known for its vibrant colors, intricate designs, and mix of textures, the Moroccan style has become one of the most beautiful trends of the year.

Matte Finish Tile
The popularity of matte finish tile still rising. They present a smooth but powerful style of beauty that doesn’t get too overwhelming. One advantage of matt tiles is that they do not show stains and watermarks as simply as glossy tiles.
This styles them ideal for the bathroom floor, especially in busy bathrooms. Their low gloss facilitates their maintenance. When installing matte finish tiles, make sure there is enough lighting, both natural and artificial, as these tiles are not known to reflect light.

Texture Tile Finishes
Add variation, depth of color, and surface interest to any bathroom area by incorporating textured field tiles. The textures can appear subtle or pronounced depending on the material used, the finish applied, and the desired color. The rake sounds like its name.

Three-dimensional mosaics can inspire almost anything, from a feeling to an object or place. But when all is said and done, it is generally considered a work of art. This category is available in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and styles which can be combined in endless combinations to obtain a unique space.
