Rather than mirroring every transient trend or color of the
year, tile can seamlessly bridge the gap between trendy and
enduring, with colors, glazes, shapes, and sizes that can
complement any style or décor and create an environment that is
both livable and enduring.
HARBOR
CITY, Calif., May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Feras Irikat, Director of Design &
Marketing, Lunada Bay Tile, does not believe in trends.
"Transitioning, Transforming and Transmitting—not trendy. That's
tile," says Irikat.
"If you have good quality products,
installed well, they will look good forever even if they're no
longer in style – as long as they fit your own personal style. You
must live with it—yours is the only opinion that matters.
"More than ever, people are looking for personal expression in
their homes, and tile design can help achieve this," he says. Tile
helps to make a design cohesive and complete – in every room in the
home. No longer confined to the kitchen backsplash or shower wall,
tile can be used artfully to create accent walls in living and
dining rooms, as a decorative frame for a doorway or on ceilings,
and of course more prominently in outdoor spaces. Tile projects a
luxurious, high-end feel while remaining practical and
functional.
What makes something "trendy", offers Irikat, is the misuse of
the material or style or color, and if you use tile properly in the
right room then it glitters like a perfect starlit night on the
French Riviera.
Tile is a Long-term Investment
According to Irikat, the first thing people should do is define
the duration they think they need to maximize their investment.
"The rule of thumb is at least seven to 10 years, so the idea of
creating something and having it remain relevant over a decade is a
myth. Functionality and lifestyles are evolving and changing
constantly."
Irikat offers this advice: "If you have good quality products,
installed well, they will look good forever even if they're no
longer in style – as long as they fit your own personal style. You
must live with it—yours is the only opinion that matters. Someone
once told me, 'If you're renovating with future buyers in mind,
then you're basically renting because you've lost the freedom to
customize your space'."
When Trends Are Timeless
Incorporating a specific trend requires understanding what
really contributes to a space. The most important thing is the
overall environment; it's not just about one aspect of it, or one
element. Consider, Irikat says, Japanese style. "This is a great
example of how trends can have longevity because you're taking
something that has a deep historic relevance and updating it with
livable colors and textures. This is a perfect process of
fusion--fusing a trend with something a little bit more
traditional, so that it resonates stronger and longer."
Lunada Bay Tile's Shinju ceramic collections demonstrate this.
Shinju, which means "pearl" in Japanese, translates the shimmer of
pearls, the ridges of oyster shells, the surrounding reefs, and the
movement of the ocean into a handcrafted ceramic tile series. Just
as time and place affects an oyster's appearance, and the pearls
they create, the texture and color of Shinju reflects the light and
style of its surroundings and brings a new updated twist to
Japanese style. Or consider Graphite, a handcrafted ceramic series
offering an expanding variety of options for personal expression.
From subtly textured charcoal surfaces to metallic bronze, and
colorful artistic pigments – the juxtaposition of color, light, and
shadow evokes emotion, drama, and contemplation.
Rather than follow the latest erstwhile trend, think about
mixing and matching colors, patterns, or materials, the more unique
and enduring your space will be. Wood, stone, and ceramics can work
together to achieve a truly bespoke design: a space that is simple
and sophisticated yet highly personalized. Vesuvio is a mixed media
mosaic series that combines glimmering glass with natural white
marble. Elegant yet durable, the natural stone creates a beauty
only achieved after millions of years of nature working her magic.
The glass is evocative of semi-precious stone found in volcanic
formations. In concert, the simple geometric patterns become the
timeless foundation for many interior styles.
Neutrals and colors that are inspired by nature form a perfect
backdrop for more trendy accessories and accompaniments. These can
be greens, blues, or calming neutrals. They are colors that
reignite our passion to nature….what is surprising, and unique and
soothing. People want to interact with their environment more than
we have in the past. It is nature as designer: Biophilic design
seeks to connect building occupants more closely to nature by
incorporating things like natural lighting and ventilation, natural
landscape features and other elements for creating a more
productive and healthier built environment for people. People
desire natural and organic textures for added interest and design
value.
"A sometimes overlooked aspect of designing a space is texture,
especially when it comes to tiles," says Irikat. "Texture in tiles
delivers depth and interest, and this tactile quality adds a touch
of personality." The LINEN collection is distinct and concise with
its representation of a traditional linen material. Consider the
unique interplay of texture and color: textured tiles can either
emphasize or soften the vibrancy of hues in a room, depending on
the surrounding interior elements.
