The bold colour trend of the year has definitely not disappeared, however some companies have preferred to take a gentler approach. Incorporating pastels in a range of ways, these soft collections add a graceful air to interiors.

Fabresa is using pastels in a variety of ways throughout their collections, from the watercolour look purples and greys of Vita and delicately coloured Spatule, to one collection in particular that caught Tile Addict’s eye. Gamma’s range of eight pastel tones that span the rainbow are complemented by a selection of tweleve mix and match modern pattern decors. The tiles’ use of shape gives them a contemporary appearance, whilst the subtle tones and texture offer a worn, almost sun-bleached look.
