Tile Design Trends for this decade by Lauren Jones
By
It’s the beginning of a decade, and for designers and artisans alike that means a new wave of trends. It's a time to make bold style decisions and set the mark on what will be “in” and what will be “out,” for years to come.
Design Trends 2020: From sustainable materials to ceramic furniture to statement tile, check out our picks for what to buy in 2020.
1. Sustainable Materials
At Clay Imports, we strive to create products that are not only beautiful, but also sustainable. Our Saltillo tiles, which are hand-crafted in Saltillo, Mexico, are as natural as it gets. If you’re looking to go a bit more green in 2020, shop our line of Traditional Sealed tiles, which are crafted traditionally from water and clay. Then formed in wooden molds and left to dry in the sun.
2. Ceramics
Ceramics are big right now. From lighting to furniture to accessories, there’s no wrong way to incorporate some ceramic pieces into your home. Earlier this year, we launched our home goods line, Clay Casa, a line of terracotta and ceramic wares and furnishings. Shop our speckled Poco Pottery, which is also trendy as it features the Pantone Color of the Year, Classic Blue, or our tule pendants.

3. The New Neutrals
Say goodbye to cool tones and hello to rich browns, greens, and ochre in 2020. Our Glazed Thin Brick tile in Forest Green and Pio Pio Grande tiles are sure to make a statement.
4. Black-and-white
Elle Decor has predicted that funky black-and-white tile is going to be popular in 2020, and we couldn’t agree more. Check out our Tint Pitch Black tile for an eclectic splash of texture and pattern, or our encaustic black-and-white clay offering, Galaxy Black, a diamond-shaped eight-inch semi-gloss tile. There’s also the classic, Anejo Flecha, a traditional clay tile that pays homage to historic European architecture.
5. Pantone Classic Blue
We’re big fans of the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year: Classic Blue. Shop glossy blue tiles, hand painted Talavera tile, which are beautiful in bathrooms, hallways, and backsplashes. For the trendsetter, there’s also our Spin Blue tile from the Lacuna Collection.
6. Organic Shapes
For those looking to spruce up their yards this year, shop our Breeze Block Triangles, which come in a rich terracotta color and are patterned after Mother Nature herself.
