Here are 10 of our favourite tile trends:
1. The marble effect
For timeless sophistication you really can't beat classic marble. Think highly polished traditional Italian grey tiles with hints of beautiful black veining. Ideal for lightening a room, a wall-to-wall marble project is complemented by plenty of green foliage and polished brass accents.

3. Artisan chic
If you're a fan of a more traditional rustic tile project, look to the hand-painted patterned ceramics that populate the sun-soaked Mediterranean for inspiration. Opt for shades of villa-esque terracotta and exposed edges for an antique effect.

4. Palms n' pinks
Palm prints and botanical blooms are still scoring high on the interior trend list and, if you're thinking about all things fauna for your bathroom, bespoke tiles in shades of pink or cream will help complement this quirky look. Hang vintage pieces like a wall mirror and glass light fittings for extra bathroom style points.

Scandi style has become the benchmark for modern interiors and bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms are a great way to work this trend. Complement wood walls with a cream ceramic tile laid in a chevron pattern, and use matching grouts for a seamless finish.

7. Glossy textures
For sheer opulence, high gloss tiles in shades of teal and peacock will lend a dramatic air to your bathroom. Pair two different textured ceramics together to create a look that's both glamorous and unique to your home. A monochrome tiled floor is the perfect chess-board accompaniment.

9. Shades of grey
Using grey as a basis for any tiling project means you can experiment with pops of colour, without committing to anything too drastic. The perfect modern grey can sit alongside dusky pink, duck egg blue or even pillar box red – remember to keep the lines clean with accents of cream and black when it comes to your fittings.
