One of the most impressive aspects of floor tiling is its ability, despite being made primarily of ceramic, to mimic other man-made and even natural materials, when dyed and treated just right. This has been the most prominent flooring trend of the last few years, and it’s unlikely to go away any time soon. But what are the other, smaller trends that have branched off from this more general one? If you are searching for tile distributors in Brooklyn and elsewhere for the top tiling trends of 2017 and 2018, here are the most popular, listed in no particular order.
#1. Wood-look tile
While not a new trend by any means (wood tile has been around for a few decades now) it hasn’t dipped in popularity in the slightest since its inception. Actual wood flooring is nice, but it comes with all the drawbacks of being made of wood (rotting, splinters etc.) whereas wood-look tile comes with the visual appeal, but none of the drawbacks. This has caused it to become a nationwide favorite among homeowners. And on top of all of that, it’s easily one of the most durable flooring tile types on the market, even to this day.
#2. Brick-look tile
Brick-look tile used to be exclusively used for lining walls. However, in recent years, it’s gained quite a lot of popularity as a floor tile as well. While a little too specific and niche for some people, anyone who loves to give their house a classic European atmosphere will find great joy in this floor pattern.
#3. Marble-look tile
Marble has been used to build homes for centuries and has endured all that time because it really is one of the best building materials out there. Marble-look tile, meanwhile, has all the style and feel of real marble, without the costly investment of installing it. Marble-look tile is also spared the drawback of marble’s natural soft porousness, making it much easier to keep clean than normal marble. No matter what it’s made of specifically, marble will always reflect an atmosphere of elegance, expense, and class. This trend is unlikely to go away any time soon.
These are just three of the many forms of tile out there, and only a small fraction of the growing and blossoming trends in the tile industry. So when you go looking for floor tile, keep an open mind on what you want your floor to look like. You just might be surprised.
