Many people begin thinking about updating their kitchens and bathrooms during the summer months, with the idea that they’ll get started in the fall. But summer is a fantastic time to get started on your new project. Starting now means you’ll be ready to enjoy your new space before the fall and holiday rush begins.
There are many very hot trends in both tile and color for the kitchen and bathroom right now. From earth tones and rich, bold colors to ceramic tiles and patterns, you’ll have a lot to choose from when beginning your new design as well. We’ll show you how to incorporate some of those fresh new looks into your home below.
Trends are always changing, but for the last few years there’s been a bigger focus on choosing things that will be long lasting in style. This year, 
Color trends in 2023 have been pushing toward colors that are rich, bold, and earthy. You’ll see jewel tones as well as shades of brown and green. In the bathroom, you’re more likely to see many shades of brown and green, often layered together. Shades of pink, including mauve and peach, are also popular right now.
There are many fantastic shades and colors out there right now, and many of them are designed to work with one another. Rather than choosing a single shade for your backsplash, consider either choosing a mosaic or tile that can incorporate several colors at once or a patterned ceramic tile that has a few colors layered into it. Layering colors helps extend the life of a design, as it lets you play with wall color and accent color for years to come.
Whether your home is modern or traditional, patterned tiles are incredibly popular right now. Opt for rich colors and repeating designs in materials like ceramic, porcelain, or sustainable concrete. Patterns can be run along the entirety of your backsplash or make a statement by using plain tiles along the counters and placing a bold pattern just behind the cooktop.
If you really want to make a statement, consider choosing a backsplash tile that will really stand out. Choose something with a rich color, natural texture, or bold pattern, and make it the star of the show. Depending on the size of your kitchen, you can use it everywhere on the backsplash or confine it to a single area so you don’t overwhelm the rest of the room.
Tile ideas for the bathroom will follow many of the same principles. However, blues and greens – used alone or together – will dominate the color scheme for this room of the home this year. Try any of these hot trends to elevate your bathroom design.
White bathrooms have long been popular, and to some extent they still are. But people are beginning to embrace color, and the shower is the place to do it. Use a bold or bright color in this area to draw the eye and make the rest of the design pop. Make that color a shade of blue or green for even more impact.
Using a few different shades of blue and/or green in the bathroom is very hot right now. These coastal shades are soothing and are most often associated with water. Consider using a patterned tile made of porcelain or cement to layer in another trend at the same time.
Natural materials and textures in the bathroom have been popular for the last few years. Many people have striven to bring nature into their homes through color, texture, and material recently. Using river stones in soft, natural shades is one way to take this trend a step further, helping to create the popular Wabi Sabi style in the home.
Kitchens and bathrooms are two rooms that get a lot of use. Make sure that they’re rooms you really want to spend time in by incorporating some of today’s hottest looks and styles. Many colors and materials used today are meant to invoke happiness as well as staying power, so give them a look when the time comes to renovate. When you’re ready to get started,
