Statement floors and ceilings
Look away from your walls and up at your ceiling. Gone are the days when walls were the only way to transform a room with paint or wallpaper. More and more, design enthusiasts are leaving their walls alone and turning to wallpaper, tile and paint to turn their ceiling into the focal point of their room. From bold block tones to quirky geometric patterns, and anything in between, there are hundreds of designs you can consider. Likewise, for your floor, think beyond classic tiles. Look at inlays, geometric or patterned tiles and contrasting grout (black grout against white tiles, or vice versa, can be a sight to behold) as options to highlight the bottom half of your room.

Terrazzo
Remember the chip-flecked polished tiles from the good old days (possibly in your grandparents’ home)? That was terrazzo – a kind of midcentury tile most favored before it was cool (and edgy). Terrazzo was a de facto floor fixture in old-style homes, but it’s set to make a comeback and how! Crafted from a combination of glass, granite, marble and quartz chips pressed and polished into smooth cement or resin, terrazzo is now considered an uber-luxe alternative to typical floor choices like vitrified, porcelain and ceramic. With new-age designs on the market, there’s a slew of options to choose from.
