Bring the Outdoors in

Last year was challenging for many. As a result of spending so much time indoors and the added stress of the pandemic, many people are trying to make their space more relaxing. It’s no surprise that peaceful settings such as nature inspire home renovations. 

Incorporating natural elements into your home decor can bring a sense of tranquility and add a new dimension to a room. There are many ways to bring the outdoor elements in, and with recent technological advancements, it’s easier than ever. Ceramic tile is made in countless natural textures, colors, and designs. 

Neutrals 

Over the years, tile trends have gone through the rainbow but this year neutrals are taking center stage. A neutral tone tile selection matches just about any interior decor or style. The most sought-after neutral tones are tans, greys, and greens. If you decide to hop on the neutral tone train, consider incorporating textured tile to add more depth.

Bigger the Better 

Lastly, XXL tiles are making a statement this year, and are guaranteed to capture the attention of anyone that walks in the room.
