Ca’ Pietra has unveiled its new Tile Trend Report 2026, a comprehensive insight pack created to support the KBB trade with clear direction on the colours, formats and design styles set to define the year ahead. The report distils months of research, market monitoring and creative forecasting into a practical, beautifully visual guide that retailers can use to inspire customers, refresh displays, and anticipate what homeowners will be searching for throughout 2026.
Written by Ca’ Pietra’s head of creative, Grazzie Wilson, the report maps out the biggest influences shaping tile design next year. From the playful rise of curious colour combinations – buttery yellows, sky blues, dusky pinks and rich reds – to the textured, artisan spirit of rustic nomadic surfaces, each trend is unpacked with clarity, context and styling direction.
The document also explores the increasing appetite for expressive formats, where a single striking tile becomes the hero of a room, whether through sculptural mosaics, statement marbles or bold large-scale patterns. Nature-led palettes feature strongly too, with greens, grounded neutrals and organic textures reconnecting interiors with the calming, restorative qualities of the outdoors.
Designed specifically with the KBB industry in mind, the report does more than outline what is coming. It shows retailers how to translate these trends into displays and real-world schemes, with photography, layout ideas and visual references taken directly from Ca’ Pietra’s collections. Each section acts as a practical resource: how to style the trend, how to create the look in a showroom setting, and how to guide customers towards confident design choices.
The result is a tile trend book for 2026, created to support retailers as they plan merchandising, update room sets or build next year’s marketing content. With tiles playing a growing role in storytelling across both kitchen and bathroom environments, this report equips the trade with the foresight needed to stay ahead of customer demand.
Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at Ca’ Pietra, says: “Retailers tell us time and again that the biggest challenge is knowing where to focus their energy when the design landscape is shifting so quickly. Customers are coming into showrooms better informed and more inspired than ever before, but that also means they are looking for ideas that feel fresh, confident and rooted in what is happening right now. Our 2026 trend report is designed to give the industry that clarity.
“We have taken the colours, patterns and rising across fashion, interiors and culture, and translated them into something the KBB sector can use immediately. It shows not just what is trending, but how to bring those trends to life through displays, storytelling and real-world design. Retailers can see the palettes, formats and looks that will resonate most next year, supported by examples of how they can be styled and sold.”
The Tile Trend Report 2026 is available now to all Ca’ Pietra retail partners, as well as the wider KBB industry.
