Ceramic
Which ceramics will steal the show in 2023?
Ceramic and porcelain are timeless materials that have been used as coverings in our homes for a long time. However, their appearance can deteriorate over time or mark another era.
If you're about to renovate a ceramic floor or backsplash, bet on the current trends. What are they this year? We notice that there's something for all tastes and all styles.
Square Format
Porcelain is often cut in rectangle shape. But in 2023, it's rather its square counterpart that steals the show. It will be especially seen in kitchen backsplashes with tiles not exceeding 5 x 5 inches. They come in different colors, finishes, and patterns. In the kitchen, for a dynamic but discreet look, opt for small white and matte square tiles.
Terracotta Color
This shade that inspires terracotta with its dark orange-red will be seen everywhere! Indeed, since warm and earthy colors are trendy, terracotta is making a strong comeback this year. The presence of this color on the floor, for example at the entrance, adds a lot of prestige. You could even dare to install it inside a glass shower or in the family room. If you appreciate its appearance but don't particularly like its rigidity, add a few rugs here and there in the room. You'll then find a cozy side without losing the desired look!
Raw Effect Porcelain
We also find many tile models that offer a raw look. This trend aims for the most natural effect possible, both indoors and outdoors. For example, set your heart on Italian stone or terrazzo-style tiles. What about porcelain that imitates concrete or natural wood? Although these ceramics are a bit less in vogue in 2023, rest assured: these are timeless looks that will look great despite the passing years.
Artisanal Ceramic
Would you like to get into creating tiles? The year 2023 invites you to bring out your manual side! The trend indeed wants to make room for imperfection and originality. If you don't trust your artistic talents, know that several manufacturers offer collections where the tiles display an organic style and even seem to have been handmade.
Large Dimension Tiles
If small square tiles are trendy in 2023, oversized tiles are too! You can go with imposing formats like 32 x 32 inches or 24 x 48 inches. However, know that these large tiles should not be installed in a small room: there must be enough surface to see them in their entirety. And good news: large tiles are easier to maintain due to the reduced number of joints. On the other hand, they are more complex to install and are less resistant since it is difficult to fully adhere their surface to the floor.
Sage Color
In a matte finish, ceramic that presents a sage color is popular throughout the house. It whets the appetite in the kitchen, makes a bathroom soothing, and can energize a playroom in the blink of an eye. This color is very trendy this year!
