Floor trends 2023: the new frontiers for autumn

Tiles have always been a key component in interior design. In past decades, we have witnessed an evolution from the classical to the contemporary, with trends reflecting the aesthetics and culture of each era.

In 2023, flooring trends go beyond mere aesthetics, emphasising new priorities and values in interior design. Whereas in the past the choice of tiles was mainly based on aesthetics, today the purchasing decisions for autumn 2023 floors emphasise a combination of design, functionality and sustainability.

Sustainability, colours and styles: floor and wall tiles 2023

Sustainability is establishing itself as a guiding principle in the world of modern design. With the growing need for environmentally friendly solutions, porcelain stoneware responds by offering durability and an eco-friendly production process. Its long service life and no emission of volatile substances make it a perfect option among those seeking a unique style without compromising the environment.

At the same time, autumn 2023 displays a rich palette of colours and styles. Earthy tones, evoking warmth and naturalness, are juxtaposed with bolder shades, creating a dance of contrasts. And it is not difficult to imagine the beauty of floors inspired by forest green tones, twilight shades, or vibrant flowery patterns. These styles, blending past and present, unveil the upcoming novelties.

The Onice Multicolor features lapped porcelain stoneware tiles that embody the beauty of marble. Onyx shades are represented in a blend of serene and bold colours, creating a design that is both glamorous and luxurious.

The chromatic variety of chalcedony is fully expressed in Multicolor. A patchwork of honey, pearl, sage and very light grey streaks that come to life in contact with light, revealing luminescent depths and transparencies. The lapped finish adds a touch of gloss, further enhancing the richness of the design.

This setting features an impeccable fusion of contemporary design with natural details. The tiles on the floor imitate the texture and colour of natural wood, providing a warm and cosy background. This wood effect combines wonderfully with the other elements in the room.

The Leaves wall tiles from the Journey collection feature a flowery pattern in shades of green that contrasts and complements the simplicity of the wood-effect floor.

Dense woodland vegetation in various shades of green covers the surface of the porcelain stoneware tiles. The stylised and playful leaves and branches emerge from a darker background which gives the Leaves decoration a unique depth, together with the contrast between the glossy and matt effect of the surface. This flowery design adds depth and visual interest to the entire setting.
