What tiles are 'IN' at the moment

[aflemi]

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the moment I would say it was funky glass and metal,anything that some designer thinks is in.It will all look outdated in the future,even the classics even if they do have a better chance.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.

Surely 'fashion' is good for trade.... It goes out of fashion, the client wants it updated with the latest 'in' tile......... Can't be bad.

Some great tiles here. Any opinions on these for a wet room/ area floor?

Suppose you need to be sure grout is dark enough and/or sealed very well but think it would look great...........

If you want to know whats "IN" check out the ranges at this site

Porcelain Tile Collections

Also I have just come back from Tile Style (Europes LARGEST tile showroom) and they confirm the trend is as strong as ever and growing. 300x600 porcelain is with us BUT there are various themes creeping in.... If you want to know what I am on about click link below. Please note a lot of the magazines take shots from them, so they do have a sayso!

Check out Tile Style to see more than 30x60 porcs.

... It's just that after my input they all seem to go for 60x30 beige porcs in brick bond...

Agreed, that is what the German tile market shows too this season. Most common is 60x30 or 80x40 beige or creamy white at walls and 40x40 and up dark/coffee brown or slate imitating floor tiles. And also these wood imitating tiles that are often bows if quality is bad.

Walls have often colour matching glasss mosaic but no longer complete around the bathroom. Its more shown in spots or as a stripe running from floor to ceiling or like a frame around the shower.
Seldom but sometimes wished: In-tile-lights

2 years ago we had the "mediteranean" season: cotto imitating floor tiles with light blue and light green tiles.

As per the a.m. posts we also cannot see a season for natural stones, they are always wanted but less than tiles.

Cheers from Germany, Martin
