trends, from the traditional to the novel to the beautiful and unusual.

This year’s trend mantra seems to be ‘out with the ordinary and in with the extra.’ Colour of all types is still in the forecast, everything from deep rich block colours that scream sophistication to dreamy botanical murals that exude beauty. Travertine and terracotta return to the throne, along with a myriad of marbles and a multitude of stones.

So grab a warm drink and settle in for a cosy read with the innovation issue of the National Tiles Magazine.
