What’s Trending With Union Tiles?

Tiles are one of those finishes in interior design that will never go out of fashion! Durable, long-lasting and visually appealing; tiles are super versatile and trendy for use in almost any area, indoor and out.

When it comes to tile design, we have seen products that continue to emulate natural stone and wood in terms of appearance. Despite many believing that the emulating of such natural products would start to fade with the tile manufacturers, it has not. This natural look in interior design continues to trend! In fact, many of your ‘top’ quality manufacturers from Italy and Spain have again produced tiles that have the natural appearance of wood, linen, granite, travertine, marble and cement. The colours and varying surface effects are what makes the more experienced and quality driven manufacturers stand out. What is more apparent is the seeming lack of interest shown in the more monochromatic look. Customers are certainly excited about the combinations of structured and polished tiles.

The realization amongst many of the architects and designers is that the cheapest of imported products are very often not the best and, in many instances, these tend to fail the application it is used for. Customers are asking questions about durability in combination with the aesthetic appeal of the product. When it comes to natural stone, the durability and timelessness of the product just carries on. Marble, granite, travertine, quartzite, sandstone and limestone… these are products of nature’s gods.

Once you have been moved by the product and felt the pull of nature’s beauty you will not happily be persuaded to deviate to other products. The natural veining and vibrancy of marble is also a delight to the senses. These are truly products that have been created for an eternity. There are so many surprises on offer in terms of products, sizes, great quality and good pricing. At Union Tile you can find inspiration and stay on trend. Many of their new products will be arriving shortly, so watch this space! Here are some of our favourite designs to inspire:
