One clear standout trend this year: colored marble. Most of the time, it was displayed in a checkerboard pattern.<\/p>\n
In the world of marble-look ceramics, some collections missed the mark \u2014 but others were impressively realistic.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Costard shares: He and the team selected genuine marble in 12 x 12 format in four different shades, coming soon to stores:<\/p>\n Bardiglio<\/strong>: a deep, elegant grey<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Calacatta Viola<\/strong>: white base with bold violet veining<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Afyon White<\/strong>: a classic, understated option<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mocca<\/strong>: a subtle, timeless beige<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”75198″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Another major trend: textured large formats \u2014 especially 24 x 48 tiles. His insight? \u201cNeutral white fits the widest audience. And the texture is amazing!\u201d <\/em>An ideal combo for timeless, inviting interiors.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”75200″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The undisputed star of 2025. Every supplier showcased travertine.<\/p>\n We already had a head start with the Navona<\/strong> collection in 24 x 48<\/a> (Vein Cut). It also comes in a fluted relief version (24 x 48), reminiscent of our best-selling Kora<\/strong> style<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”75202″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
\u201cNo fewer than six suppliers had their own interpretation. And the one I wanted to order? It was sold right from under my nose. But I didn\u2019t leave empty-handed!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Nicolas selected a fully white, ultra-matte series with four unique textures.<\/p>\n3 – Travertine. And More Travertine!<\/h2>\n
