Large Format Porcelain (600x1200mm+)
Fewer grout lines = cleaner aesthetic, easier maintenance. Requires skilled tilers; lippage risk on uneven floors. Premium labour.
Terrazzo Revival
Authentic terrazzo tiles (not printed) add artisan texture. Works as feature walls or floors. Higher material cost but timeless appeal.
Textured & Relief Finishes
3D wave tiles, ribbed surfaces add depth. Slip-resistance bonus for wet zones. Clean grout lines carefully; texture traps grime if neglected.
What Is Fading
Flat white subway (oversaturated). Busy geometric patterns (date quickly). Glossy floor tiles (slip hazard, shows every mark).
Key Takeaways
- Large format = modern, low-maintenance aesthetic
- Terrazzo adds artisan character
- Texture provides depth + slip resistance
- Avoid glossy floors in wet zones
- White subway fatigue setting in
