Opposites Attract
An emerging European trend for ultra-modern homes is the unlikely pairing of a contemporary décor with an old world-look floor. There are many options: from the Victorian encaustic-look tiles of the Icon Special series to the European parquet look of the Classica collection; from the classic, honed French Limestone look of the Dordogne series to the geometric patterns of the House of Vanity line, it's the best of both worlds!

Large Format Tiles
The use of large format tiles such as 24"x24", 16"x32", 18"x36". For example, the 16"x32" format size appears to be the new 12"x24". Some designers are now starting to use larger format tiles such as 8"x20" for backsplashes .
Remember, these new design trends may not be for everyone. Not to worry, at Tilemaster, we always offer a wide selection of tiles from the 'tried & true' colours and size formats to the slightly more adventurous and even the avant garde. We've got tiles for everyone!
