2023 Tile Trends: Pinks

April 6, 2023|Tile Trends|

After seven weeks of counting down, we’re thrilled to announce that Coverings is just about here! And you know what that means: one last 2023 tile trend.

So, let’s get into it: pink tile.

Pinks are an easy way to introduce color into monochromatic spaces. As designers move away from all-white and gray interiors and toward warmer neutral tones, pinks are sure to be popular picks.

Plus, the softness that pink imbues falls right in line with the cozifying we’ve been doing to our homes of late.

Luckily, there’s no shortage to choose from, ranging from moody mauves to punchy peaches. Let’s take a look at some current favorites.

Pastel Pinks

The softness of pastel pink makes it work perfectly as a neutral, while still adding cheerful energy. Blush pink tile is a particular favorite for its quiet strength.

Earthy Pinks

Earthy pinks are another great option to add a warm neutral tone to your space. Examples include clays and dusty pinks, such as Sherwin-Williams’ 2023 color of the year, Redend Point.

Peachy Pinks

Like the idea of a warm neutral but prefer something not quite so pink? Terracotta-look tiles are another option that’d give you the same warmth with a more rustic vibe.

Punchy Pinks

There’s nothing neutral about punchy pinks, but don’t let that deter you. Coral tones, such as Raspberry Blush, Benjamin Moore’s 2023 Color of the Year, can add electric optimism in even the smallest installations.

Vibrant Pinks

If you’re looking to make a statement, consider a vibrant pink. Pantone’s 2023 color of the year, Viva Magenta, perhaps? Vibrant pinks work great for feature walls and as accent colors.

Barbie Pinks

Channel your childhood and retro vibes with Barbie pink. It’s yet to be seen what effect this summer’s Barbie movie will have on fashion and interiors, but an explosion of bubblegum pink would not surprise.

We often see this tile used in small installations, like backsplashes and showers, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Pink gauged porcelain tile panels enable you to make an even bigger design impact, often with unique natural stone looks.
