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.

2. Stylish stone

For a gorgeous, polished look with minimal maintenance, try using stone effect tiles to add an industrial edge to your bathroom. Look for shades of graphite, cliff and putty, to be used across floors and walls. Team with polished chrome or copper fixtures for a modern flair.

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.

5. Exposed elegance

Brick look-a-like tiles are an ingenious way to achieve a refined utility look, without having to strip plaster away to create an exposed wall. Use multiple effect tiles in white, cream and grey to create a paired-back bathroom aesthetic.

6. All Scandinavian

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.

8. Pretty pastels

Looking to freshen up an existing white bathroom? Use high-shine tiles in soft pastel shades to create an eye-catching, modern sink splashback that's stylish and practical. Go wild with diamond or chevron patterns, just keep the edges at an angle.

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.

Trimmings are a fabulous way to add a touch of excellence to tiled surfaces and can be added with either a modern or classic finish. Use this effect to sharpen up the lines of a split-wall wet room or shower.
