1. Bricks Trend
Brick shaped ceramic tiles can be stacked horizontally or vertically to create monochromatic designs or mixed with different colors to create various patterns like stripes, chevron, and herringbone. Crossville’s Swatches, Handwritten, Cursive, Color by Numbers, and Groove Glass wall tile collections offer brick sizes in many colors that can be arranged in an almost endless array of patterns. Our RetroActive 2.0 is just one brick-like porcelain tile line that is suitable for both floors and walls. In fact, you’ll find many of our porcelain floor tile collections (also suitable for walls), like Color Box 2.0 and Ready to Wear, offer rectangular shapes in sizes that are suitable for creative brick patterns.

2. Cemented Tile Trend
Concrete looks can bring visual harmony to a space and still evoke a raw, urban energy. A worn patina with subtle color variation makes cement-look tiles versatile and suitable for many applications. Turn to Crossville’s Gotham and Notorious porcelain tile collections or our Blend porcelain panels by Laminam for big city style in the distinct look of concrete.

3. Cobbled Tile Trend
Large-scale aggregate looks ranging from time-worn terrazzo to cobblestone to Byzantine mosaics can ground a space with a foundation of history but with the modern technology of large format porcelain tile and panels. Our Alaska porcelain tile offers ultra-realistic graphics that mimc terrazzo in looks but with performance unheard of in traditional terrazzo materials.

Crossville excels at providing anti-slip, easy-to-maintain porcelain surface solutions that enhance Mother Nature’s natural offerings. We offer 2 cm thick outdoor pavers to match their thinner indoor counterparts, allowing designs to flow from indoors to outdoors with stylistic continuity.

9. The ’70s Tile Trend
A decade defined by dichotomies, the ’70s was celebration of spectacle with glam rock, flashy prints, and metallic accessories. The decade was also very naturalistic and breezy. Patterns evoking sailing vibes, including stripes, wavy patterns, and wood paneling were all the rage then. Pop art florals and earthy tones were also prevalent, Crossviile collections that align with the groovy tile trend we’re seeing today are Shades 2.0 floor and wall tile, Simpatico wall tile, Cursive wall tile with it’s retro color palette and shapes, and our Classic Grooves porcelain floor and wall tile collection that pays homage extraordinary comeback of vinyl albums.

10. Undulated Tile Trend
The desire for handcrafted goods is a strong trend, and this holds true for ceramic tile. Manufacturers are now able to create subtle undulations in the tile’s surface that emulate manually applied thick glazes. These gently uneven surfaces draw the eye and create the sense that each tile was crafted by a skilled artisan. Crossville’s Cursive and Handwritten wall tiles are manufactured to appear handmade and will have inherent, intentional variations that occur in size, thickness, flatness, color, and width from grout joint to grout joint.
