So, I wanted to take a look at the newest trends that we’re seeing in tile for Kitchen and Baths. I found this photo on Pinterest , because I’m thinking about doing this look for my master bath. This is one example of a brick tile that is made by extruding ceramic, which gives it that real natural handmade look.

Traditional bathroom designs are taking a back seat to a more spa-like, clean and minimal look, according to the National Kitchen + Bath Association (NKBA).

We often find ourselves laughing at retro baths. Anywhere from the 20s through the 50s, the color trends seem shockingly bright with extreme contrasts. Additionally, the baths then were very small regardless of the size of the family. A simple stick liner in either contrasting or tonal colors defines the space.

Every now and then I find a bath that resonates with me. The pink bath in this image is one of those “vintage” images that is all too familiar to those of us of a certain age. In fact, when we founded Waterworks 40 years ago, there were countless baths that looked just like this and many were far worse.

I’ve made a decision: A little drama in the bath is a very good thing. Everyone knows I’m a proponent of white baths — and there are so many exquisite ones — but somehow a bath clad in dark tile or paint just feels new and exciting. I particularly like the corresponding dark, rich-colored ceramic tile.
