Greens, blues, terracotta and neutrals with accents: the trending palettes for cement tile floors, how to combine them and what colour does once laid.
What we talk about in this section
- Colour: trending palettes drawn from the 49 shades of the MC1–MC49 chart, and why the same pattern changes completely when the background changes.
- Patterns and layouts: chequerboards, geometric borders, insert tiles, hexagons and tile rugs framed by plain flooring.
- Combinations: cement tiles with zellige, terracotta with zellige, matt versus gloss.
- New uses: tables, headboards, worktops and vertical features.
Trends with technical judgement
A beautiful idea that cannot be laid is no use. That is why every article gives the format, the weight and the number of pieces per square metre—25 tiles for the 20 × 20 cm square, 100 for 10 × 10 zellige, 205 for the 7 × 7 insert tile—and points out where the material does not belong: zellige is abrasion class 3 and is not designed for floors with constant foot traffic.
The available designs are in the cement tile catalogue and finished combinations in the photo gallery.
