Good old-fashioned tile has been making its way into homes around the world virtually for decades. We’ve seen it popping up on kitchen backsplashes (think: subway tile on every HGTV show), on bathroom floors, in home entryways and foyers. So often this beloved go-to in minimalistic home renovation has done an excellent job blending into the background of a space, achieving balance, but never acting as the star of the show. Enter statement tiles. Another big trend for 2020 is that of the statement tile, asymmetrical, bold in color and pattern, floor-to-ceiling and anything but ordinary.
A tile is a tile is a tile, right? Actually no. Contemporary tile options are nothing like their simple and shiny predecessors. They can mimic natural wood patterns (available in a matte finish), take on the industrial look and feel of concrete and stone, and playfully emulate porcelain and marble. In the same way that a piece of artwork, sculpture or large house plant serves as an eye-catching focal point of a room, so can your bold tile design. Speckled surfaces, mixed geometric patterns, gemstone and large-scale patterns (found on both walls and floors) are a perfect example of this.
