If you want to keep your home up to date, all you need to do is keep your flooring up-to-date!
It’s that simple.
Every year there is a new trend in the interior design industry, so if you want to spruce up your home with the latest and greatest ideas, this guide will show you the trends of 2022.
You see, tile flooring is revolutionizing home interiors, both inside and out.
Now, we hear you asking: what type of flooring is most popular at the moment?
Generally speaking, there is a strong preference for natural stone and porcelain. Homeowners love these products for their uniqueness, elegance and unrivalled durability.
So let’s dive in and explore the tile flooring trends that will be hot in 2022 and beyond
1. The look of luxury
Floors typically reflect the overall home aesthetic. So if you’re looking to make your home a luxurious space, the best way to do this is by installing a luxurious floor. A good starting place for this is choosing a traditional natural stone because its sophisticated and timeless appeal is right on trend.
You have probably noticed that bathrooms and kitchens in high-end hotels and buildings are typically built using marble and travertine. These natural stone pavers are known for their deluxe qualities and if we look at their application over time, we can see them in many buildings that are thousands of years old.
Marble and travertine are also an excellent flooring choice for entryways, patios, entertainment areas and any spaces that may be exposed to rain or moisture. So if you want your home to be astatement of luxurious living, these tiles are unrivalled for their royal appeal.
2. Textural details
One crucial trend in 2022, is utilizing texture throughout the home. Whether it’s on your floors, walls, fixtures or fittings, applying different textures is a way to customize your space and also create a sense of harmony throughout it.
The benefit of installing natural stone pavers, or tiles, is that they typically have a smooth texture that also stays quite cool underfoot.
Marble is another natural stone paver that keeps its cool and looks glamorous and glossy no matter where you choose to install it.
If you prefer a more earthy, wooden look, timber-look tiles are another option with an incredible textural aesthetic. Much like timber, they exude warmth and richness but unlike real wooden tiles, they are much more hard-wearing. Why? Because they’re made of porcelain! So while the knots and grains in these matte-finished tiles look exactly like real timber, if you are looking for a more durable tile that is easier to maintain, these are definitely worth considering.
3. Color trends for 2022
Believe it or not, in the design world/community, color is a trend that regularly changes. Many interior designs can tell you the year a home was built just by the colors used within its interior. So what are the color trends of 2022? Let’s have a look!
Color trend #1
Along with soft beige and light gray, champagne is a 2022 color that is trending in interior design. These neutral hues are popular because they create a clean, stylish and minimalist canvas for your living quarters. If you look at other lifestyle trends around the world, it correctly reflects the minimalist trend that many people are embracing.
Color trend #2
Another color that will be making a big impact in 2022 and beyond is blue. If your home has gray tiles (dark gray, light gray or silver) throughout, blue is a lovely complimentary color that adds style and a contemporary touch to your current design.
4. Shapes and sizes for home tiles flooring
A 2022 floor tiling trend is: the bigger, the better! This means that interior designers will be choosing tiles that have a broad width and length, installing fewer tiles but also creating the illusion of openness and space by stretching out living room areas. For homes with open-planned living areas, bigger tiles typically create a sense of seamless flow from one area to the other.
So whether you invest in large rectangular or square tiles, this is a trend that has staying power. Change your tiles once, and they will be on trend for years to come!
Choosing your natural stone paver depends on your home’s aesthetic, color design and lifestyle. Some natural stone pavers are more porous than others and might not be as ideal for homes with young families where spills are a common occurrence.

5. Quality over quantity
Another hot trend that is going to grow over the years is how many more people are opting for a more sustainable lifestyle. The throwaway culture of the previous decades is well and truly heading for the rubbish tip (thank goodness!).
What does this mean for interior design and home improvement projects? Simply that choosing quality products that will stand the test of time is the more fashionable choice. This means choosing durable and high quality materials such as natural stone pavers and tiles. With the correct maintenance and care, they can last several lifetimes and generations.
Though it might seem like you’re forking out more capital now, your wise choices for your home flooring today will definitely pay off for you in the long run. Not only will you get longevity from the tiles, but you’ll also enhance the value of your property.
