Thinking about going darker in your home this year? From decadent bathrooms to moody kitchens, the trend for dark interiors is more popular than ever, especially across surfaces.

Over the past year we have seen the hashtag #styleitdark trending over Instagram, which has inspired us to delve into the deep and pull together some top tips on how to incorporate this trend into the home with tiles.

Whether it’s through dark textured surfaces, marble-effect tiles or statement accessories, keep scrolling for everything you need to know on embracing this trend.


Keep it Sophisticated with Dark Marble

If you’re looking to go big with your interior transformation, dark marble-effect tiles might just be the perfect option for you. We particularly love this surface option when used across big family bathrooms or ensuites, as it exudes an elegant aesthetic.

Our Nebula and Tundra Sky designs are perfect options if you’re after a spa-like bathroom with a hint of contrast. You can either go bold by pairing these designs with stunning hanging lighting and rounded mirrors or keep it subtle by adding in lighter shades and minimalist touches for a softened approach.

Embrace Dark Natural Textures

Bring your kitchen and bathroom walls to life with dark textured tiles. To add some depth and interest to your walls or floors, go for something a little more unique. If you’re worried it might be a little too bold, fear not! You can offset your surfaces with lighter furniture and subtle pops of colour, to create a welcoming yet design-led space.

Our beautiful B&W Star Black Décor tiles are a great choice for this type of look as they showcase a textured black marble finish. Ideal for bathrooms, you can use these tiles as a feature wall and pair them with elements of wood and hints of greenery for a subtle finish.

Bring In The Accessories

As always, the accessories will be what brings the overall scheme together and they often require a bit of thought. If your surfaces are all dark, you may want to consider opting for accessories that are lighter in colour as it’s important to add contrast to your space too.
