What Tiles are Trending in 2025-2026- TRAVERTINE!
Travertine Tiles are Back…. Actually, They Never Left.
For those of us in the know, travertine has always been the sophisticated older sibling in the natural stone family. While other trends have flickered and faded, travertine has remained, quietly confident in its timeless appeal. But hold onto your cappuccinos, because for 2025-26, this classic is stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight with some seriously stylish new moves.
The Great Indoors Migration: Crazy Paving Comes Inside
For years, our beloved Ivory Travertine Crazy Paving has been the go-to for creating that perfect, sun-drenched European resort vibe around our swimming pools. Its organic, jigsaw-like pieces offered a playful-yet-chic escape from the mundane. But now, in a stroke of design genius, this outdoor hero is kicking off its shoes and coming inside.
Designers are increasingly blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living, and crazy paving is leading the charge. We’re seeing it flow seamlessly from the patio right into the family room, creating a continuous, textured floor that is both visually stunning and incredibly practical. Available in thicknesses from a sleek 15mm for interiors to a robust 30mm for driveways, and now in JUMBO sized pieces, it’s making a bold, architectural statement. The verdict? Crazy paving is the new hero of the open-plan living space.
Ciao, Bella! Meet the New Star: Tuscan Travertine
Just when you thought you knew travertine, a stunning newcomer has arrived on Australian shores. Say hello to Tuscan Travertine, the ultra-premium option for those with an eye for refined luxury.
What sets it apart? It’s all about the finish. Unlike traditional travertine, which is known for its charming, naturally pitted surface, Tuscan Travertine is 100% hole-free. This creates an incredibly smooth, almost velvety texture underfoot, offering a level of sophistication that’s simply unmatched. Available in generous large format pavers and tiles like 800x400mm and 500x500mm, it’s the perfect choice for creating expansive, seamless floors that exude quiet elegance. This isn’t just stone; it’s the foundation for a masterpiece.
The Price is Right: Luxury Without the Hefty Tag
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the price. The words “premium” and “Tuscan” usually send wallets into hiding. But here’s the inside scoop – our prices are not just competitive; they’re revolutionary. Because we source directly and cut out the middlemen, we’re able to offer these top-tier trends at a fraction of the industry-average price. You’ll find our Tuscan Travertine and Ivory Crazy Paving are so sharply priced, you’ll be checking the tag twice.
So, for 2025-26, the trend is clear. It’s about being bold, blurring boundaries, and embracing a new level of refined, natural beauty. Travertine isn’t just keeping up with the times; it’s setting the pace.
