If you’ve had the chance to visit a local flooring retailer recently, then you’re probably well aware of the gargantuan variety of porcelain and ceramic tile designs available today. In fact, there are so many styles that selecting just one for your kitchen or living room remodel can seem like an impossible task. We thought it might be helpful to narrow down the playing field a bit. If you’re searching for contemporary tile flooring designs, these three collections are stunning examples of some of today’s most popular looks.
Natural stone reproduction tiles are always in style, and thanks to modern advancements in digital coloration technology, stone-look porcelain and ceramic tile is more authentic than ever. Mannington Serengeti Slate is the sort of tile that all other collections aspire to be. This premium thin-set porcelain tile features richly varied color tones that correspond perfectly with the subtle surface texturing. The overall look is as natural as it gets. And since the Serengeti Slate tile is actually ultra-durable porcelain, the look is certain to last. Vibrant colors include deep Midnight Mist and light Ivory Tusk.
Suppose stone styles aren’t your thing? In that case, the Florida Tile Soul collection may be the perfect solution. This ultra-modern glazed porcelain tile embodies all of the finer aspects of contemporary design. It’s simple, sleek, understated and sophisticated. Soul’s minimalist modern appearance is similar to brushed concrete, so it’s perfect for achieving the industrial-chic look. Cool contemporary colors include dark Body Black, medium grey Anthracite and neutral Motion Beige.
Of course, some people just love the look of hardwood more than anything else. Fortunately, there’s a tile for that too! Wood-look tile is one of the hottest trends this year, and the Geneva collection from Kertiles is the perfect example of this revolutionary fusion style. Kertiles uses 3D advanced printing and texturing technologies, to give the handscraped, natural weathered look. The Geneva collection offers the light color of Bianco, and the natural look of Cherry and Pine. This cool collection combines the warm, inviting look of hardwood with the low maintenance and superior durability of porcelain tile into one luxurious package.
So, if you’re shopping for new flooring for your home or project, you’re certainly aware of the wealth of options. These three tile styles are definitely some of the most popular and most versatile available today.
