6 Top Tile Trends to Inspire You in 2022

Serenity and a connection to nature continue to be themed in tile design this season, an apparent response to two years of spending so much time indoors. The International Surface Event 2022 revealed new patterns, colors, shapes, and sizes of tiles that reflect the need for authenticity, fresh colors, and textures. Neutrals and subdued tones dominated the displays, but designers also offered many hints of glamour in their new collections.

“Because people aren’t traveling as much as they used to, they don’t have that sense of luxury and extravagance you get in a hotel, so they want a little bit of that for themselves,” says Kathy Greene of Emser Tile. Here are some highlights of the trade show for the tile, stone, and floor coverings industries, held Feb. 1-3 in Las Vegas. The new collections will be rolling out throughout 2022.
