From Our Family to Yours
Welcome to The Tile Depot’s 2023 Lookbook. A jam-packed issue that forecasts some changing trends within the coming year and showcases some of our current and ongoing favourites.
2022 has definitely been the year of colour and pattern, with home owners increasingly expressing their personality through some bold and exciting tile choices. While we expect this to continue, we are also seeing a move towards really rustic and raw designs, evident in the trending handmade aesthetic, roughly textured stone designs, and bold and dramatic marble effects.
Porcelain collections that capture the character and textures of natural stones, rich in organic tactile surfaces, are increasing in popularity. The more realistic and organic the stone design, the better. They pair beautifully with natural stone mosaics and handmade-effect tiles, contributing to the biophilic design aesthetic that is informing many interior design decisions. High-end bathrooms seem to be leaning towards dark and moody designs, whilst the demand for warm and light stone designs is never waning. Natural marble mosaics will continue to be used for accent details especially in bathrooms, with the COLOSSEUM fluted marble collection (pg 47) predicted to be the hottest new product in The Tile Depot collection for 2023.
Also drawing from nature is the increasing desire for quite bold and dramatic marble designs, particularly in naturally rare colourways like golds and greens. Marble designs that really shout for attention, rather than forming a quiet backdrop are increasingly being sought.
The popularity of handmade tiles, such as The Tiles of Ezra collection - exclusive to The Tile Depot, is seeing an exponential growth in popularity in 2022 and demand for this aesthetic is expected to continue to rise for the forseeable future. Porcelain collections that replicate handmade craftsmanship, with a higher degree of durability, versatlity and finishing, are lines to also look out for. 2023 is going to be an exciting year, rich in texture and mood enhancing designs.
