Each year, certain colorways emerge as a popular choice when designers and homeowners alike are selecting tile for their projects. Most recently, jewel tones such as emerald green and sapphire blue have a strong presence, and warmer shades are also making a comeback. Moreover, textured tile continues to be prevalent. Evolving technology allows for an increased selection of surface finishes. TILE recently caught up with Kait Paradowski, design director at Artaic, and Jill Cohen, vice president of design at Artistic Tile, to ask them to share their thoughts and experiences on the inspiration behind developing new color palettes and tile collections, as well as the current trends they are seeing.
