Tile is making a major comeback in the world of kitchen and bathroom décor. Tiles used to be simply a functional measure to easily clean in the rooms of your home that undergo the most daily wear-and-tear. In 2019, tiles have transitioned into a way for you to express your style and to set the tone for a well-polished, unique room.
Kitchen Tile Trends in 2019
- Dimensional Tiles
One of the biggest kitchen tile trends has nothing to do with color or finish. Manufacturers are offering an interesting new approach to tiling: dimensional or 3D tiles.
For example, hexagonal tiles have become incredibly popular in the kitchen area due to their ability to create the feeling of added space. They have become particularly popular in the recessed areas such as backsplashes.
- Neutrals and Whites
The country-kitchen style of tiling is making a major comeback as one of the most popular trends of the year. Neutral and white tiles create a sense of spaciousness that helps make the kitchen an attractive place for families to congregate. They also help any type of accent décor to “pop” in a major way. Second only to white, grey shades are very popular. They create an understated elegance in the kitchen and are incredibly easy to keep clean.
Bath Tile Trends in 2019
- Matte Finishes
While glossy tiles made a comeback in the past few years, the latest and greatest trend for bathroom tile is all about the matte finish. These tiles have an understated elegance that inspires a chic, modern look. As an added benefit, matte tiles are ideal for bathroom use because they tend to hide watermarks. However, matte tiles don’t reflect light very well. When you add matte tile in your bathroom, ensure you have enough light fixtures.
- Graphic Patterns
One of the most popular and exciting bath tile trends in 2019 are graphic patterns. These are exceptionally popular because graphic accent tile patterns can be used in a variety of places, including walls, floors and inside showers. While these are typically a bold pattern with colors that make the tiled wall or floor the focal point of the bathroom, you can also incorporate subtle patterns and hues. Using a tiled graphic pattern is a great way for homeowners to get really creative and express their personal style.
Tiled Up
No matter your personal style, getting creative with the use of tiles in the kitchen and bathroom is a great way to help these functional rooms become truly unique. Whether you are re-tiling a large space or simply using tile as a bold accent, there are endless possibilities to how these tile trends can revive your bathroom or kitchen.
