We are thrilled to share our top 5 trends we spotted at Cersaie 2024, the world’s premier event for ceramics. From innovative materials to stunning design concepts, this year’s trends are set to transform your projects!
1. Surfaces: Texture and Decoration
Floor and wall tiles inspired by textures and decorations were the unquestionable protagonist of Cersaie this year. They bring a unique blend of elegance and practicality to any space. Ranges such as Bloom inspired by wallpaper and our Elementi range captures the texture of metals, both of these bring a unique blend of elegance and practicality to any space.
2. Materiality
dynamic and visually intriguing spaces. 3D tiles such as Peak District and Vista use their bold patterns and shapes to cast subtle shadows and reflections that change throughout the day. This effect adds depth and dimension to surfaces, making them appear more textured and alive. The interplay of light and shadow not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also creates a sense of movement and fluidity, transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary ones. This trend is perfect for those looking to add a sophisticated and artistic touch to their interiors.
3. Craftsmanship
Handcrafted inspired tiles are gaining popularity for their unique, artisanal appeal. These tiles mimic the look of handmade ceramics, featuring subtle imperfections and organic textures that add character and warmth to any space. Ranges such as Japandi are hand crafted and made from recycled glass, for a truly unique look. London Bricks replicate the ruggedness and appeal of old style terracotta bricks. The trend embraces the beauty of imperfection, with each tile showcasing slight variations in colour and texture, creating a bespoke and inviting atmosphere. This style is perfect for those looking to infuse their homes with a touch of individuality and timeless charm.
4. The Colours of the Earth
The trend of incorporating earth tones in porcelain tiles is on the rise, bringing a natural and serene ambience to interiors. These tiles feature hues inspired by the natural world, such as warm terracotta, deep greens, and rich browns. Our ranges Arcilla and Salerno offer tranquillity and connection to nature in their subtle hues that draw inspiration from earthenware clays and natural stones. The use of these colours creates a grounded and cozy atmosphere, perfect for both modern and traditional spaces. Earth-toned porcelain tiles not only add aesthetic appeal but also evoke a sense of calm and connection to nature. This trend is ideal for those looking to infuse their homes with a timeless, organic elegance.
5. The Stone-effect
Marble and stone effect tiles within porcelain tiles have become a significant trend in interior design, offering the luxurious appearance of natural stone with the practical benefits of porcelain. These tiles replicate the intricate veining and textures of marble and stone, providing a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic. Collections such as CeppoGres offer the luxurious appearance of Ceppo di Gre’ at a practical standpoint of a tile. Whereas our Marble Project mimics the intricate veining of the most beautiful marbles, offering luxury with all the benefits of a ceramic tile. Advances in printing technology have enhanced the realism of these effects, making them almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Additionally, marble and stone effect porcelain tiles are more durable, easier to maintain, and more affordable than natural stone, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces.
