What happens when the tile you sold last year is classified as being old?
What about when your rival is making more sales, simply because the showroom is trendier in appearance compared to yours?
And what if your customers are already aware of what is trending, and you are not?
Sounds risky.
You are welcome to the new era of the kitchen that includes not only utility but also a statement in the form of tiles. Earthy matte finishes, or striking geometric designs, modern-day residents desire their kitchens to look more like a design studio than a practical room.
But here’s the good news:
This trend wave is a goldmine to you, the reseller who has a vision. All you have to do is know what to stock, how to display it and what to say to your customer in their language.
SakarMarbo presents you with the hottest trends in kitchen tiles – what is popular, but what is selling. This is your secret to beating the competition and growing faster, whether you are selling to a budget buyer or a high-end homeowner.
1. Warm, Earthy Colors Are the New White
White is a standard color, however, clients are demanding beige, terracotta, clay, olive green, and warm greys. They are natural, homey, and high-quality tones, particularly matte finishes.
Sales Tip: It is a good idea to show kitchen mockups in-store, but in soft, earthy tones. The customers feel more inclined to purchase when they can imagine the vibe.
Big tiles (600x600mm and above) are selling better than ever. They transform kitchens to be larger, neater, and classier.
Pitch alternatives: Sakar suggests targeting our large-format vitrified collection to high-end customers who seek hotel-like clean design.
3. Textured & Fluted Tiles = Instant Luxury
Flat glossy tiles? Outdated. The latest fashion: fluted, covered, and handcrafted appearance tiles that make walls vivid.
Display Idea: Put spotlights within your showroom to place emphasis on textures. Allow the customers to touch and feel the surface; they will be in love with it.
4. Patterns Are In: From Subway to Herringbone
Even simple tiles can look modern with smart layouts. Customers are increasingly asking for:
The trend provides you with the power of upselling: the same tile, many looks.
Sales Trick: Have a layout board in the store with various patterns with the same tile. It helps close sales faster.
5. Natural Looks Without the Hassle
Everybody desires a stone, wood, or concrete finish- but nobody would desire high maintenance.
They provide the luxury appearance without the cost or maintenance hassles. And best of all, they last long and are waterproof.
Sakar Collection Alert: It is a digitally printed stone- and wood-like tile that is meant to be beautiful and, at the same time, durable. Present them as an option to genuine wood or marble (no compromise).
6. Matte Finishes Are Outselling Glossy
Matte tiles have become the most popular for kitchen walls and floors. They are closer to nature, conceal stains better and have a soft, non-reflective appearance.
Inventory Tip: Keep on stocking the finishes; however, promote matte in kitchens. When customers realise the difference, they tend to change their preferences.
7. Backsplash is Now a Style Statement
Blastplash had previously been used to refer to plain white 2×2 tile. Not anymore.
This presents your best upselling- Small area, high-impact tile.
SakarMarbo Recommends: Provide backsplash packs – small size, big design. Great for quick sales.
Want to stay ahead? Here’s your winning strategy:
Curate Trend Displays
Not to pile tiles but demonstrate them. Design live kitchen corners, backsplash panels and design boards.
Educate Your Staff
Prove the sales team on layout styles (herringbone), finishes (matte vs gloss), and benefits (easy to clean, one less grout line, etc.).
Bundle Products
Sell “Kitchen Combo Packs” – floor tile + backsplash + wall tile. It makes purchases easy and enhances order value.
