PATTERN REVIVAL WITH TILE OF SPAIN
This year’ s Cersaie was an elegant showcase of the newest tile designs from the Spanish tile industry – and patterned tiles were at the forefront. María D Arráez, Director of Tile of Spain UK, and Clara Vicedo, Marketing and Communications Executive at ASCER, share insight on how to style these eye-catching designs.
“ For timeless elegance, classic mosaics will never go out of style. Spanish manufacturers produce both contemporary and heritage designs in a selection of colours, styles and sizes which can then be used to create looks which are classic and fresh.
Curved patterns have made a popular comeback in recent years – and tiles are no exception. Think soft arches and circular motifs to add a playful yet refined aesthetic to walls, hallways, bathrooms and kitchens.
Thinking outside the box, Spanish manufacturers have created a selection of designs that combine geometric designs with tactile finishes, especially via raised surfaces – adding a sensory dimension to homes that feels dynamic and luxurious. For those who love the warmth of wood but want the durability of a porcelain or ceramic tile, wood-effect tiles in a detailed pattern add interest and texture to spaces. Spanish manufacturers combine quality techniques with innovative designs allowing plenty of choice.”
