TOP 3 TILE MACRO DESIGN TRENDS 2021

We blogged Tile Of Spain’s top 9 tile micro-trends yesterday. Today, we are going to talk about 3 more macro tile trends that define ceramic tile design. Tile of Spain, is the organization that represents 120 ceramic tile manufacturers belonging to the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturer’s Association (ASCER).

Modern Simplicity

After spending much of 2020 in our homes, Spanish manufacturers have been focusing on creating new lines that allow homeowners to reconnect with their interior spaces.

In this genre, there is a strong emphasis on pieces that provoke warm and inviting environments and conjure feelings of comfort and security. Here we’ll find a variety of toned down hues that range from soft neutrals to pastel greens and blues, while classic formats will be combined with subtle textures and contemporary motifs to meet the needs of modern interiors.

Renewed Traditionalism

This trend encompasses a new philosophy that pairs modern graphics with traditional production techniques. This unique approach highlights the environmental responsibility and promotes the sustainable commitment of the Spanish ceramic sector.

It is characterized by the search for authenticity and timelessness. Simple graphics, abstract motifs and traditional styles such as stripes, mosaics and intricate installations become the protagonist in this range of ceramic tile.

Abstract Art

In this final class of 2021 tile design, manufacturers take advantage of the versatility ceramics have to offer and experiment with bold graphics, vibrant colors and captivating applications.

Thus, we find fluid designs and complex configurations that mix different textures, shapes, “materials” and finishes to infuse dynamism and drama in both residential and commercial settings.
