At the heart of the Crossville show experience, our booth was a product-infused, eye-catching experience thoughtfully designed to conveys the design potential of our latest collections. This year the theme was “Step Outside,” especially relevant after a year on lock-down and a time when both residential and commercial design is more focused than ever on exterior and natural environments. Highlighting the beauty of biomimicry in design, we took a spin on earth, water and air areas through our latest collections of Shades 2.0, Multiplier, and Ossido porcelain tile panels. The floor throughout the booth featured our Portugal collection in the stunning 24” x 48” mixed in a pattern with 12” x 24” field tiles, and all counter surfaces throughout the booth showcased our countertop slabs.
Earth – featuring Shades 2.0, check out the new triangle offering creating an intricate pattern including the new warm color of Foam, the new warm color of Russet, the new neutral blue hue of Ash
Air – featuring our Multiplier collection in 2” hexagons and ¾”penny rounds in white, grey and dark grey

Global Tile Trends
Featuring Crossville’s Lindsey Waldrep representing TCNA and the North American tile industry, this panel discussion brought together international tile experts to share the latest tile trends and preview where the industry is headed. Stay tuned…we’ll be expanding on these trends more in the next few weeks.
- That 70s Show – providing not only nostalgia and comfort but also creativity and play with lots of glossy, bold, and bright hues
- Bohemian spirit – the “other side” of the 70s style, more earth-inspired with natural elements
- Bio-Feel-‘Ya – much more than just bringing the outdoors in; truly embracing a love for all things natural
- Touch Points – all about texture and tactile experiences
Going to the Dogs…with Crossville’s Cursive Collection
Each year, we enjoy the opportunity to contribute a tiled doghouse as part of the Tile Council of North America’s pavilion at Coverings, North America’s largest tile and stone expo. This year’s dog houses put a new spin on “going to the dogs” as these dog dwellings showcase tile’s extreme versatility and style.
Bringing signature style to Crossville’s doggie abode, this year’s dog house features our Cursive collection showcasing the beauty of shapes. With an incredible color combination of Oxblood, Soft Teal, Goldenrod and Iris, the sides of the house showcase the half circle demilune tile with corner options. The doorway also features the half circle demilune tiles abutting a standard brick pattern of 1 ½” x 3” field tiles. The roof again features the brick pattern in Oxblood outlined by the subtle Soft Teal.
This year, five TCNA members generously supported the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando through the tiled doghouse program at Coverings. During the show, these one-of-a-kind, handmade creations were on display where attendees could see the craftsmanship firsthand.
Customers and Colleagues Converge
The best part of our Coverings experience? The people filling our booth each day. From amazing customers and longtime colleagues to design friends and the media, we made this show count because of meaningful connections that we weren’t able to share in last year. It was such a pleasure to visit in person and truly reconnect.
