This trend appeared a little bit at Cevisama, and although it didn’t make it to my final edit (two examples from Mykonos and Vives are included below) I was primed and on the lookout at Cersaie to see if there was more. Specifically I was searching for patterns you usually see on drains and sewage grates, as well as tactile pavers used to improve accessibility … Continue reading Trending: Roadside Chic
Coming in on the coat tails of wallpaper looks and beyond, at Cersaie fabric-effect tiles were making themselves known, adding a layer of texture, a depth to design, and a touch of detail. Florals and foliage formed an ideal basis for fabric-effects to flourish, with these two examples from Novabell highlighting the variety that can be achieved whether you focus on the imagery or the … Continue reading Trending: Fabric-effect
Bold, playful, and a little dark and moody, 90s colours carry an air of nostalgia for both the lighthearted world of sitcoms like the Fresh Prince, Friends, and Home Improvement, as well as the casual angst of grunge. At Cersaie, these 90s styles combined with the cutesy, light pastels of the early 2000s collaborated to bring back the soul of the early internet age. Colourful … Continue reading Trending: The 90s and Y2K
Walking around the show this year I didn’t see much in the way of big trends (aside from that one particular wood-look).

I’ll cover them all in more detail throughout this … Continue reading Trending at Cersaie 2023

Alongside the hard-hitting big tile trends from this year’s Cevisama came a few mini trends and the first pair to explore are Illusion and Lava. Illusion designs played with the eye – monochrome patterns with thin lines and repetitive motifs that created a sort of moiré effect when viewed from afar. The most intense examples of this are Codicer95‘s Streamline and Fisher Black Kayak tiles … Continue reading Illusion and Lava
The next trend is potentially the most adorable – Baby Metros. A simple size down from their classic counterpart, these mini metro tiles were everywhere at Cevisama, gracing walls in a number of colours and textures, but all with a certain sweetness that only tiny tiles can bring. Before I was aware of just how many baby metros I’d see throughout the show, I’d snapped … Continue reading Baby Metros
