2021 Style Forecast Trend

Australia's leading Rapid Renovation Expert Naomi Findlay says;
"Because Terrazzo tiles are easy to clean, non-allergenic and beautifully enduring, you can use this speckled hero throughout the entire home and do away with transitions between main floors, hallways and bathrooms. This adds to the effortless flow of a home".

But don’t stop there! Make Terrazzo look tiles the focal point of any bathroom by using it on the walls too. Try Napoli Pearl on both the floor as well as a feature wall, completing the remaining walls in white matt subways to the ceiling, then finish with matt black tapware.

For a breathtaking bathroom, try Rock Salt Danish Smoke on the floors and Rock Salt White Gold on the walls, as seen in our Rock Salt Complete Bathroom Package. Choosing two different colours from the same range adds an extra layer of interest while keeping the look cohesive. The darker coloured floor tile anchors the room, while lighter walls give an illusion of a larger space.

What’s even better than stone looks? HUGE stone look slabs!

The height of luxury with incredible practicality. Fewer grout lines and diverse applications, slab sizes up to 3 metres such as Grand Atlantis Gold, Timeless Ceppo Di Gres and Grand Manhattan Grey Silk are just a few of our slabs that can be used as kitchen splashbacks, floor to ceiling bathrooms or as ceramic veneers to countertops and cabinetry. 

Timber look tiles are perfect for main floors, and Beaumonts Artwood range of complementing Timber designs allows you to get even more creative. Use a combination of planks and parquetry to define spaces such as living or dining within a large open plan room.

Using planks around the perimeters, the parquetry works the same way as a rug to visually distinguish the different zones - try the amazing Artwood plank and Artwood parquetry range. Choose sofas and furniture with raised legs to showcase the beautiful floor underneath!

The hallway is often the first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the house. For a functional and welcoming entrance, the long lengths and colour warmth of Prestige Cedar conjure up the feeling of home. Kyal and Kara love the look of timber, suiting their relaxed Scandi style to a tee!

The Zellige style is perfect for covering any wall of the home to add dimension and interest. A splashback is a practical element to any kitchen, but install Atmosphere squares or subways and it becomes a delightful feature.

Or why not create a striking focal point for a living room by covering a fireplace surround in the Atmosphere range. This trend is right at home in a range of different interiors to suit different tastes, but especially Traditional.

Ocean colours set the scene for a tranquil bathroom and Wanderlust styling. Pair white and soft blue for a bright and breezy palette where city stress fades away, or up the opulence with dark navy Atmosphere. Try this deep hue on a wall opposite the vanity, then use large mirrors to reflect this feature wall and create a sense of balance.

Don’t feel the need to only pair this colour with neutrals either. We’re seeing the hottest trends complement blues with coral and terracotta, amber and moss green. Complete the look with a wall hung vanity with his and her sinks and must-have gold fixtures.

These gorgeous tiles will make a statement and can be used almost anywhere in the home on walls and floors. Just remember to create rhythm and repetition through colour or pattern.

In the kitchen, balance bold patterns with plain cabinetry in one or two colours. Try Majorca Classic Petal to the kitchen floor with a Majorca Floral splashback and emerald green cabinets.

Or in the bathroom, allow the Majorca floor tile to take centre stage. Pair with a matching or complementary plain coloured subway so it doesn’t vie for attention. One of the most popular places you’ll see motif patterned tiles are in the laundry!

Neutral floors also move towards a deep charcoal palette with cocooning effect. Design brothers Shannon and Simon Vos know the power of colour and say;
"It’s not just what you see – it’s the mood you create. We find it so hard to pick a single favourite out of the awesome Beaumonts range but, Rome Shadow and Omni Stone Charcoal are definitely up there. Combine with matching walls and dark cabinetry for an ambience that wraps around you”.

This trend makes for the ultimate main floor, especially suited to the Industrial style. Choose the largest size tile available in the look you love, together with a matching grout to visually expand the space. Then go all out with your favourite colour furniture, accessories, artwork and plenty of greenery.

Kitchen and laundry splashbacks and bathroom walls are the most popular spots to use elongated subways and finger mosaics. Extend Logic or Addis tiles to the ceiling on all walls for a bathroom that’s both practical and sophisticated. Lay the tiles vertical stack bond to draw the eye up and make ceilings appear higher.

Beaumont Tiles Design Specialist Christie Wood says;
"Choose elongated subways with a contrasting grout to accentuate the tile shape, then pair with Motif patterned floors for Australia’s coolest bathroom combination. Or for a pop of colour to a Modern style bathroom, my go-to has to be Peacock Fire Fingers”.

Smart Tiles - Microtec

The future of flooring is here! Microtec is the latest and greatest technology making one tile suitable for BOTH indoors and outdoors. Applied during the manufacturing process, this innovative glaze is smooth to touch and safer when wet, so it’s simple to cater to the indoor-outdoor home designs and lifestyles we love so much.

Microtec ensures better consistency across finish appearance and a harmonious link, where the interior becomes a continuation of the garden and the patio and extension of the living room. It’s no wonder this trend is the next big thing.

Tiles with Microtec finish are the ultimate flooring choice to create flow through the entire house. Especially through to the back yard, erasing borders between the exterior and interior.

Shaniqua was on a winner when she chose Homestone for her bathroom makeover, and literally won the monthly #ichosebeaumonts competition for her transformation, and so can you!

Planning a new home or renovation with structural changes? The bathroom is no longer a secluded place closed off to its surroundings. Imagine a courtyard off the bathroom with French doors opening up to the outside rather than a window. Use Lagoon Almond to the bathroom floors as well as the courtyard for a fluid connection and bliss bathing experience. The Lagoon range comes in a range of colours to suit all styles, but Naomi Findlay’s favourite is the warm almond colour, perfect for a Farmhouse styled interior.
