Latest News Mon, May 4, 2020 2:20 PM

From bold and vibrant shades to elegant and detailed patterns reminiscent of bygone eras, the latest trends within the surface industry bring forward a resurgence of colour, texture and pattern into the design domain. From confident injections of Pantone’s Classic Blue, to the stunning patterns and colours of the Art Deco movement, CTD Architectural Tiles provides architects and designers with more choice than ever when it comes to specifying ceramic and porcelain tiles for residential, commercial and hospitality projects.

Classic Blue

Announced as Pantone’s 2020 Colour of the Year, Classic Blue has become a hugely popular choice for all manner of applications. Elegant and simple, Classic Blue is a universally loved colour that can be used for a variety of design schemes in both warm and cool tones.

Available across a number of CTD Architectural’s tile collections, specifiers and designers can create blue-inspired interiors that are guaranteed to leave an impression on visitors, customers and clients alike. From the stunning Azure finish of the Poitiers tile and vibrant Marine Blue Bevelled Metro tile to the beautiful detail of the Crackle tile in the Ocean Blue finish, CTD Architectural’s extensive portfolio provides endless possibilities when it comes to incorporating this on-trend shade into commercial or residential design schemes.

The Patterns of the Art Deco Era

Set to be a big trend throughout 2020 and beyond, Art Deco is a hugely popular design style inspired by the glamour and luxury of the 1920s. Presented across an extensive range of colourful and patterned products, CTD Architectural offers and unrivalled selection of geometric and coloured tiles ideal for making confident Art Deco design statements.

A hexagonal shaped tile available in eight colours and in plain, positive and negative hues, the Meraki six-sided tiles are an instant design classic. These wonderfully inventive tiles can be rotated to make up to three entirely different designs, suitable for both wall and floor offering endless style possibilities.

The Art Deco style represents a glamorous, high-end lifestyle that will introduce a sophisticated elegance to any space. CTD Architectural’s Gatsby range renews the classics of the 1920s and 1930s with elegant designs paired with a modern colour palette. Thanks to the metallic over glaze effect and its multiple graphics, it provides the specifier with a powerful and distinct look.

The Julep range is inspired by recovered tin ceiling panels seen on roofs and facades of the late Victorian era. The colour palette based on the metals used in tin ceilings comprises of four classic colours, each with five random reliefs.


The Natural Appeal of Wood-Effect

Enduring and timeless, the natural appeal of wood-effect tiles makes it one of the most popular and longstanding surface choices. Wood-effect porcelain is a clear best seller and its success can be attributed to the breadth of perfectly reproduced shades, veins, knots and colours of nearly every species of wood. From the vast colour choice of the Aspenwood collection to the naturally elegant appearance of the Daring range, CTD Architectural’s extensive collection of wood-effect tiles provides designers with unlimited ways of incorporating an organic nature-inspired effect into all commercial, residential and hospitality projects.

One of the more recent additions to CTD Architectural’s product portfolio, the Oriental Wood range offers a completely different re-imagining of handworked wood. With inspiration coming from traditional marquetry or even hints of Japanese Yosegi, these almost psychedelic tiles have an eye-catching appearance that is hard to ignore. Captivating and extremely unique, they are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression in any type of interior setting.

Victorian-Inspired

From their origins in Gothic Revival architecture to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution, Victorian tiles have stood the test of time. They remain as fashionable today as when they first came into style in the 19th century.

With a striking mix of checkerboard designs and complex, decorative patterns on offer, CTD Architectural’s Victorian-inspired products are vast and varied, promising to add that touch of vintage charm to any interior.

Featuring natural shades, alongside bright, innovative colours, the Contrasti collection is comprised of six slightly mottled plain tiles, which contrast with bright two-tone decors, all available in a single versatile 200x200mm size. Combining a selection of geometric shapes, patterns and colours, the Victorian heritage range recreates the perfect finish that celebrates the beauty of traditional tiles.

Part of CTD Architectural’s Core collection, Cuban and Havana are ideal for creating that on-trend period look. Cuban brings the beauty of cement tiles to 223x223mm porcelain tiles, available in a choice of two different colours to create a bold first impression. Havana is an extension of our popular Cuban range, inspired by traditional cement tiles. This range is available in different shades of white, grey, blue and green, with geometrical shapes or motifs that can be combined to create continuous patterns. Both ranges have an excellent slip resistance value (+36PTV).
