01

An entertainer’s dream, the alfresco lifestyle movement inspired us to extend our living space to the great outdoors. Seamless sanctuaries take the concept further with materials designed to blur the lines between interior and exteriors rooms. From the front door to the back terrace, indoor tile with matching patio pavers create a fabulous flow. In addition to creating an airy look and feel, surfaces like porcelain allow guests to transition in and out in a more fluid, natural way.

In 2019, homeowners are getting serious about dream-worthy flow. Collections like Arterra Porcelain and Living Style, Praia, and Caldera take the guesswork out of creating a perfect visual transition with a knock-your-socks-off look and feel. The best part? When oversized glass panels are open, the separation between patios and indoor space fades completely.

You’re never far from nature by the shoreline. And when design takes its cues from all that's bright, light, warm, and breezy, we feel instantly transported to the land of sand. A modern interpretation of Scandinavian and relaxed coastal design, signature elements include reclaimed wood lookalikes, organic textures, and unfussy materials like LVT, porcelain, and quartz. On the color wheel, the trend is awash in beachy tones – from driftwood grays and sandy blondes to pebble greige.

Blondes, creams and greiges, oh my! This coastal-inspired trend captures the ease and classic charm of seaside living. Want to dive in?

Beach Chic

The next best thing after summers by the sea? A lineup that makes it super easy to achieve a beach house vibe. Whether your taste runs sleek and modern or boho and eclectic, we’ve got your surfaces covered. Blonde timberwood look floors (Everlife LVT or porcelain tile) are a great start. Life by the coast is unfussy, so our picks are practical. Hand-loomed accents, anyone?

Get in on the pattern trend with floor and wall tile, or ease into it on a kitchen backsplash – both add a lovely layer of drama and character.

Use pattern tile to inject personality in unexpected places – like an office wall or a laundry room floor.

03

Nostalgia for the good old days is happening. Only this time around we're reinventing retro classics with today's hardest working materials to upstage everything else in the room. Moody looks prevail with dark and dreamy color ways - from concrete-inspired quartz to porcelain penny rounds to ceramic subway tile. In the mix is an update on the b&w story: black countertops pair with white marble tiles to drive up the contrast in kitchens and baths.

There’s just no going wrong with a black countertop and white marble combo.

The Wonder Years

Hello yesteryear, we’re coming for you. Sometimes the best way to shake things up is to take a page from the past. For high drama interiors, punch up the pattern with Kenzzi, or mix colors and styles from different collections for a one-of-a-kind retro look. Prefer a toned-down design? Pair a concrete-finish surface like a floor or a countertop with a high-gloss backsplash.

Bringing tile all the way up the wall draws the eye and gives the illusion of more space.

To avoid a flat look in a monochromatic room – go overboard with texture with a 3-D mosaic or a textile-inspired tile.

Skip the paint. Forget the wallpaper. Now more than ever, the design world is transforming walls into showstopping architectural features with pattern tile, 3D mosaics, and ledger panels. Flush with texture and tactile appeal, the trend draws the eye and invites us to reach out and touch. Whether creating a focal point with a floor to ceiling stacked stone fireplace, giving a backsplash a second life with marble, or driving up home value with wood look planks behind the bed, wonder walls have arrived.
