Stone and Tile Trends for 2023

SHARE

Home is the headquarters of everyday life, and 2023 is all about levelling it up with color, texture, and big-impact surfaces that look amazing and hold up to real life. Architectural Surfaces brings the goods with curated collections and showrooms where ideas turn into plans fast.

Every Corner Matters

Look around your place and think about every surface you touch, walk on, and see day after day. Floors and countertops are still the MVPs, but the unsung spaces are having a moment too. 

Your entryway sets the vibe the second someone walks in. Lay down natural stone or porcelain tile, and it goes from “pass-through” to “welcome home” without trying too hard. 

And the laundry room? It’s not just for chores anymore. Give it a kitchen-level glow-up with a smooth stone counter for folding and a backsplash that brings personality. When a space looks good, the work somehow feels lighter. 

 If it’s a surface, it’s prime real estate for beauty and function. The little details add up, and now’s the time to make them count. 

Swing by an Architectural Surfaces showroom to see finishes up close and get smart pairing advice that fits the way you live. 

Life is Better in Color

Color is back, and it’s bringing serious mood. Soft blush can feel modern or retro depending on what you pair it with, while nature-driven greens, browns, and beiges bring calm without going dull. 

Designers are loving layered monochrome stacking a few shades of the same color for a rich, cohesive look. Think deep green wall tile with a lighter green trim so the room feels pulled together, not matchy-matchy. 

Try this: 

• Forest green or deep blue with warm woods or clean whites for a timeless combo. 

• Earth tones to make any room feel grounded and welcoming. 

• The Switch collection for easy color stories in shapes and trims that work together.
  
  Pro move: pick one bold color you love and repeat it through different textures, matte on one wall, glossy accent on another. It reads elevated, not busy. 

  Explore the Switch collection and map out a color palette that feels like you. 

Expand Your Tile Horizons

Big tiles are having a big year. Large-format porcelain keeps grout lines to a minimum and gives floors and walls that seamless, luxe look with low-maintenance energy. 

Terrazzo is also on the rise playful but still polished. The Parade collection brings that speckled, designer vibe in 24×48-inch tiles plus coordinating mosaics in go-with-anything shades like Almond, Beige, Dark Grey, Grey, Silver, and White. 

Geometric patterns like sleek hexagons add movement without stealing the show, and moody anthracite tones dial up the modern cool. 

Pro tip: run large-format terrazzo on the floor to make the room feel bigger, then echo it with a matching mosaic on a niche or backsplash for that custom, “thought this through” finish. 

Check out the Parade collection to lock in a main field tile and a coordinating mosaic that tie the whole space together. 

An Emphasis on Wellness

The real trend this year is feeling good at home. Natural stone, calm palettes, and cleaner layouts help everything flow visually and emotionally. 

Quartzite and other natural stones bring durability with organic veining that softens the edges. Keep a unified palette from kitchen to patio, and the place instantly feels more relaxing and intentional. 

One “quiet hero” material used in a few key spots can make the whole home feel curated, not crowded.

How to Get Started 

• Browse all products to compare natural stone, quartz, and tile by look, durability, and maintenance. 

• Check the tile catalogs for exact specs so everything lines up on install day. 

• Book a showroom visit to see full slabs, grab samples, and get guidance tailored to timeline and budget. 

 Plan a showroom visit, get hands-on with materials, and leave with a confident plan for your space.
