Similar to fashion, home interiors have begun to move away from the all-white and gray trends and move toward warm earthy neutrals with pops of color and pattern. As a result, surfacing manufacturers have taken the opportunity to be a little more creative with their product introductions, from eye-catching patterns on bathroom cement tile to dark green kitchen cabinets paired with honey bronze hardware. But, companies also know when to keep it simple, clean, and modern. Sleek lighting fixtures, durable wood or wood-look floorings, and standard subway tiles with subtle textures balance the more complex designs homes are starting to see this year.
Walker Zanger
Walker Zanger has introduced a new cement material in its affordable line. Walker Zanger Studio Cement is a vibrant, colorful collection that offers striking patterns and a complementary color palette at a budget-friendly price, says the manufacturer. The collection is available in 15 color and pattern configurations in 8-inch-by-8-inch formats, including a hexagon format. walkerzanger.com
