2023 Tile Trends: Part 2

At the beginning of the year, we wrote our 2023 tile trends blog that covered various trends that experts were predicting for the year. As we settle into 2023, homeowners and designers alike are continuing to search and find fresh, innovative ways to enhance interior spaces. Tiles are no longer just functional entities but pieces of art that can redefine your space. Whether it's your kitchen, bathroom or flooring, tiles offer a wide range of design possibilities that can truly elevate your home. 

At GMS Werks, we are your Omaha tile experts. Below we go over some of the most captivating 2023 tile trends.

Monochromatic colors

Monochromatic color schemes are making a big splash, particularly in kitchen and bathroom spaces. These designs primarily use varying shades of a single color, adding depth while maintaining a cohesive, elegant look. Whether it's various shades of blue for a serene bathroom or earthy browns in the kitchen, monochromatic tiles offer a visually soothing experience.

The rise of organic and geometric shapes

Say goodbye to the traditional square and rectangular tiles, and make room for hexagons, diamonds and even wave-like shapes. These unique shapes can be used to create eye-catching designs that act as focal points in a room. Geometric shapes are particularly popular for backsplashes, while organic shapes are creating relaxing atmospheres in bathroom settings.

Maximalism over minimalism

While the minimalist trend isn’t going away any time soon, there’s a new shift toward maximalism — think bold colors, intricate designs and lots of texture. From opulent gold and bronze tiles in the kitchen to richly patterned tiles in the bathroom, maximalism is all about making a statement.

Terrazzo’s triumphant return

Terrazzo is a blend of marble, glass, granite and other natural stones, and it is making a comeback with a contemporary twist. Now available in larger patterns and a broader color spectrum, terrazzo adds both character and sophistication to floors and walls alike.

Sustainability

As with most areas of home design, sustainability continues to be a key factor. Tiles made from recycled materials are increasingly popular, offering an eco-friendly option without compromising on style. Whether it’s glass tiles made from recycled bottles or tiles made from reclaimed materials, green is definitely in.

Mixed materials

Mixing materials like ceramic, porcelain and natural stone is another trend that’s catching on. The combination creates a rich tapestry of textures that can enhance any room. Imagine a bathroom with ceramic walls and natural stone floors or a kitchen with a porcelain backsplash set against a natural stone countertop.

Darker hues

Dark tiles are gaining prominence, especially in bathrooms and kitchens, for their ability to create a luxurious, intimate setting. Deep blues, smoky grays and even black tiles are being used not just on the floor but also on walls and even ceilings.

Different textures 

Tiles with 3D effects, grooves and embossed patterns are becoming increasingly popular for adding tactile interest to spaces. Texture adds an extra dimension, transforming what could be a flat, uninspiring surface into something engaging.

These 2023 tile trends offer endless opportunities for creativity and personal expression. Whether it’s through color, shape or material, there’s a tile design for everyone. As you consider renovating your kitchen, bathroom or floors this year, keep these trends in mind. With tiles this stylish, you'll not just be covering surfaces; you'll be creating art.
