Ceramics is a very popular material that we can find in the form of tiles and floor coverings in almost every household—especially in kitchens or bathrooms. It is a material that meets hygiene requirements, is easy to maintain, durable, and looks great—especially when installed in large formats with minimal grout. Forbes US magazine published a list of the top ten trends in this segment that you can draw inspiration from if you are considering building or renovating your home. In the premium concept ELITE BATH+KITCHEN in the Czech Republic in Prague and in Slovakia in Bratislava, you will find these materials along with experts who are trained and ready for even the most demanding customers.
Thanks to advancing digital printing technology and ink application techniques, it is possible to faithfully and naturally mimic the appearance of wood. This trend, which was very popular in 2020, has made it possible to introduce this element where it would be impossible to use wood—such as in a shower. https://www.emilgroup.it/it/collezioni/piastrelle-viva-yaki
Geometric patterns
Trapezoids, rhombuses, diamond-shaped tiles. These geometric patterns open up much greater room for creativity than classic square tiles, which were laid in a so-called brick pattern last year. https://www.granitifiandre.com/porcelain-tile/musa+
Porcelain
Porcelain kitchen countertops became a very popular solution in 2020—mainly due to their durability and resistance. Unlike conventional countertops, they are scratch-resistant and can be matched with porcelain cladding above the kitchen countertop, or porcelain can even be used for cabinet cladding. https://www.sapienstone.com/collections

Terrazzo in a modern form
Tiles inspired by terrazzo will bring playfulness to the space and enliven any interior. Dots and speckles, whether small or large, are a conspicuous and decorative element that will brighten both walls and floors. https://www.emilgroup.it/it/collezioni/piastrelle-ergon-medley
Large format motifs
This year has been marked by large, striking motifs inspired primarily by nature. On the walls, we would find octopuses, fish, marine plants, leaves, flowers, trees, and other motifs from the marine and plant kingdoms.
Imitations of precious and semi-precious stones, such as onyx and agate, or tiles with a pearlescent surface—regardless of which option you choose, you will create a luxurious and elegant interior. You can clad not only walls but also, for example, a fireplace or a kitchen countertop. https://www.granitifiandre.com/porcelain-tile/agata-maximum
