In 2023, like in the earlier years change in the tile industry will be a constant. The market’s diversity allows for a lot of variety, and thus consumer preferences are forever evolving. Customers are continuously searching for products that are both
in trend and unique in their own way. At Orientbell Tiles, we are constantly seeking out ways to stand apart from the competition while delivering client satisfaction.
The major innovations and lifestyle changes expected in 2023 include:
Wooden tiles: Wooden tiles have been popular for a while and are gaining more acceptance for bedrooms & study rooms. Wooden tiles are a great option. These tiles are available in a variety of “woods,” including birch, oak, poplar, teak, etc.
Dark and light tiles with delicate veining: There is an increasing preference for having light and dark tiles with similar veining. The similarity of veins gives continuity whereas the contrast in colours allows playfulness in design, as customers seek to create stories by blending tile designs into one another. Interesting and unique patterns can be created by combining colourful highlighters with tiles in lighter and darker shades. Advances in digital printing are creating tactile 3D surfaces with glazes in relief.
Flower power: In most occurrences, old trends keep resurfacing after a while, therefore patterns are constantly evolving along with trends. Just like that, florals are a further 70s retro trend that is reappearing. However, this time with a novel twist, it’s more about the use of flowers in softer, more neutral tones. There are also floral tiles with a 3-D look to give the space a more contemporary feel.
Regal onyx: Onyx tiles replicate the enigmatic appearance of the natural stone. These stones offer a sense of grandeur to the space and are available in a variety of colours, including white, grey, brown, blue, and beige. The best thing about onyx tiles is that they are easier to install and require less maintenance than natural onyx stone because they come in manageable sizes rather than enormous blocks.
Retro terrazzo: Terrazzo is steadily regaining popularity as a result of its variety of colours while still being sober. These tiles can be used indoors or outdoors and are appropriate for cheering up both residential and commercial areas.
