The season for building a home has arrived. Let's explore four distinctive interior design trends for 2023, all of which use premium Italian tiles to create a luxurious and high-class living space.

1. Wellness – Creating a Space for Balance

In the post-pandemic world, how people live in their homes has changed. We are spending more time at home, demanding that our houses become peaceful sanctuaries. According to Forbes magazine, designs that prioritize wellness and a balanced living space are highly valued by property owners, especially given the current political and financial climate.

Homeowners who seek a balance of physical and mental wellness need more than just beautiful materials; they also value key features like antibacterial properties and hygiene. Unlike carpets, which are prone to staining, retaining odors, and are difficult to clean, tiles completely overcome these drawbacks. With a wide range of aesthetic options, tiles are an ideal alternative to carpets in many areas, helping to upgrade the look and feel of a space.

2. The Rise of the Unconventional

As our homes take on more roles in our lives post-pandemic, the need to create unique living spaces with a personal identity has become more essential than ever.

Always a leader in design, the Italian marble tile market has seen the emergence of new collections that draw on fresh sources of inspiration to meet the demand for unique, sophisticated homes. Ancient gemstones like onyx, or bold marbles like Patagonia, are some of the standout names among these new inspirations.

3. Ton-sur-ton - Harmonious Patterns, Distinctive Surfaces

The ton-sur-ton color-matching style became a popular artistic trend in fashion before spreading to the world of interiors. Spaces with a consistent color scheme in a ton-sur-ton style are expected to continue to win over meticulous and aesthetically-minded homeowners.

However, homeowners are also looking for subtle differences in their interiors to avoid monotony without disrupting the overall harmony. Tiles, especially those crafted in Italy, meet this need with a variety of surface finishes.

Using the same core pattern, Italian designers create different surface versions: polished, matte, hammered, honed, and more. These surfaces provide a unique visual and tactile experience, giving homeowners many options to maintain a cohesive look while adding a distinct touch to each space.

4. Biophilia - A Step Further in Green Architecture

The post-pandemic desire to connect with nature has made the biophilia trend highly appealing. This trend goes beyond green elements like plants and natural wood or stone furniture, by incorporating architectural materials inspired by nature, such as tiles with botanical patterns, to add a fresh, vibrant touch to a space.

A prime example is the growing use of Italian-made botanical-style decorative tile collections as an alternative to wallpaper. The floral and leaf patterns are hand-drawn by Italian artists and use multi-layered 4D printing technology to create incredibly lifelike images.
