The trend for highly polished large format Porcelain in kitchens and bathrooms is increasing hand in hand with demand for gloss kitchen and bathroom suites, chrome fittings and sleek furniture design. Black and white themes are very popular as the monochrome trend continues, and when teamed with chrome and glass accessories they provide ultra modern design solutions. Metallic and lustre effects are used on wall tiles offering added sparkle and shine to complement polished porcelain on the floor.

Consumers are increasingly choosing bolder colours and prints instead of naturals or light hues to complement the latest in interior design. Luxury finishes and retro influenced patterns are also in demand for wall tiles, along with subtle tone-on-tone prints which are being applied in living areas as well as kitchens and bathrooms.

Porcelain tiles can satisfy a host of requirements owing to fulfilling the requirements of architects, and the aesthetic wishes of interior designers. Porcelain will continue to grow in popularity owing to its versatility within a living space. New cutting edge techniques will bring different approaches to tile design and will have a strong impact on the variety of tiles available offering bespoke solutions.
