After a tumultuous year, it’s no wonder that homeowners now seek tranquility and peace in their homes.

Being near water calms us and clears our minds; it gives us a chance to self-reflect. It can also bring joy, laughter, and happy memories. We love using tile to invite those associations with water into an interior.

Typically, blue and green hues remind us of nature and lend a certain calmness to a space. Just like waves crashing down, they can also excite and exhilarate us.

Many 2021 trends will be inspired by nature. Colors that make us feel grounded, patterns that invite whimsy (like the night sky), and textures that remind us of our connection to the Earth.

After nearly a year locked in our houses, it may be time to rethink our relationship with Mother Nature. The new Siren pattern paired with the Bermuda crackle glaze not only pays homage, but also pays respect to the environment. Encore Ceramics produces sustainable and responsible tiles, using solar energy, an innovative water recycling system, and no raw material waste.

Water influences the entire geography around us in the Pacific Northwest. What better way to reflect that in your home or business than with a custom mosaic handcrafted by the artisans at New Ravenna.

Cheers to a Happy New Year! We’ll be adding to our Trending Themes series soon.
