Style Revival:
Everything Old is New Again

Timeless Tiles That Honor the Past

While many design trends come and go, some have a way of resurfacing after a while (sometimes after only a few years) in fresh and exciting new ways.

We’re still seeing a boom in vintage-inspired decor, and styles that call to mind memorable design movements. Tried-and-true styles, like subways and mosaics , are being reinterpreted in new patterns and finishes. Refreshed designs and new-fashioned classics are having a moment.

From the bold geometric appeal of Art Deco to the soft palettes of the 60s, here’s a look at some tile style revivals you’re sure to love.

The Mini-Hex, Modernized: Sasha Hex Chiazza Marino Porcelain Hexagon Tile

A Dash of Deco: Parry Blue Glossy Ceramic Tile

A modern take on the subway tile, Parry blends familiar Art Deco forms and emerges as a fresh option for today. Its elongated arched pattern echoes the scalloped style of the Moorish fish-scale pattern, but with the cleaner lines of a picket tile for a more contemporary feel. In a soft, neutral blue and glossy finish, this distinctive ceramic tile adds a sophisticated sheen to backsplashes and walls with a hint of 50s nostalgia.

A Nod to Mod: Tau Blanco Matte Porcelain Tile

The iconic starburst of the atomic age is reborn in a surprising, sophisticated way in our Tao Blanco tile. Inspired by the decorative motifs of Mediterranean design, the striking pattern in black and white offers a classic-yet-modern look that will instantly transform a room. While the design leans modern, the tile’s matte finish and uneven edges give it a natural, unrefined vibe of handmade and traditional tiles.
