What tiles are 'IN' at the moment

[macten]

Hi guys, quite often when I go to spec a bathroom the customer often hasn't a clue about what tiles they want and always ask me what tiles are in atm.
Obviously with better adhesives out there nowadays LFT and stone are big but what do you advise? It's just that after my input they all seem to go for 60x30 beige porcs in brick bond and I'm getting quite fed up with 'em tbh

They always ask how much they should cost too!
That's like asking me how much should they should spend on a house or car.

The problem with tiles that are in at the moment is that they will look terrible in 10 years.20 years ago it was all ceramic,a lot of swedish white 8x8 then came marble,granite and slate followed by glass and handmade.At the moment I would say it was funky glass and metal,anything that some designer thinks is in.It will all look outdated in the future,even the classics even if they do have a better chance.
The only advice I could give is that the client should pick their favourite tile that fits with their house.

There seems to be a lot more contemporary tiles "in" at the moment and have noticed sizes are getting larger as well. A lot more porcelain around. Too many styles and colours to mention. The sky's the limit with prices as well £30 to well over £100 a metre

Try £200 to £300 for fancy mosaics

Tile shops will only stock tiles That are 'IN FASHION' because that what sells, so no matter what the customer picks they are the styles of the minute.

we are doing lots of jobs with 60 x 40 trav at the moment, seems to be very popular, i would say so far backend of last year and this year the most popular floor tile we are fixing is the 40 x 40 or 30 x 30 black quartz galaxy tiles that you can get with either silver or gold flecks in them, they look awsome in kitchens if the customer has spotlights built in the kickboards, very bling,,,,

i think brickbond is starting to go out of fashion. its all i used to do but lately everything is laid landscape which looks better in my opinion
