The tile trends for 2023
Interior and tile trends are moving faster than ever! Not only are we going back in time with retro colours and shapes, from classic Terrazzo to the craziest confetti tiles, the graphic shapes and patterns from the 90s are also back. At Designtegels we supplement our collection all year round with special, creative, on point shapes, materials and colours. Curious about the newcomers of 2023? Below is a small glimpse of what is to come.









Terrazzo. A calm base, old school or made of sustainable materials?
In 2022, the Terrazzo trend has taken off like crazy and these tiles have stolen our hearts, so you will see them a lot in 2023. In addition to the classic black/white variant, the trend continues in special colors and the playfulness of the grains. There are also more and more special Terrazzo tiles on the market, have you heard of our Terrazzo made of glass pieces? Super sustainable and an extra special look!
KitKat tiles. Perfect to combine with round shapes
Have you seen them yet? The new trend: KitKat tiles. Elongated tiles next to each other, especially seen in the Japandi interior. These tiles are usually on a flexible mat and are therefore ideally suited for tiling round walls. The KitKat tiles are available in various materials such as marble, ceramic or one tile. Depending on the space in which you place them, there is always one that looks best, both on the wall and on the floor.
Giga prints marble and natural stone. Ceramic but indistinguishable from the real thing!
Is your taste sleek and minimalistic? Then you have probably already noticed the large slabs aka enormous large tiles. These ceramic tiles are available in sizes from 60x60 to 320x320. The standard prints of stone, marble, concrete and metal look are indistinguishable from the real thing and can turn your bathroom into a real showpiece. In 2023 we will see even more natural materials in this category. Not only in one color but also in special deep colors, drawings of gemstones or with relief for a real eye-catcher, textures in combination with natural materials.
Wall tiles with Relief. An extra dimension, in different textures
We have been seeing it for a while in wallpaper and paint, texture. This gives extra warmth and depth to a wall. We will definitely see more tiles with a relief, structure or even a 3D effect in 2023. A good example is the Stripe tile that has been super popular for a while. It looks like all small tiles but it is actually one large tile, making it super easy to place and clean. You can also feel and see the structure of the material in the handmade tiles.
Durable marble, soft colours for the floor or special colours in graphic mosaic
When you think of mosaic, you probably don't think of this variant! These small pieces are cut to size from marble, in different shapes and put together on a mat. This way you can create the hippest, graphic shapes. Actually, the sky is the limit! The new trend in marble mosaic is the KitKat, but just as hip is the special shape of the Solare or a graphic one like the Diamond. Do you prefer soft, calm shapes and colors? Then take a look at the Marble Bricks, beautiful in its texture and appearance, in special marble colors.
