Spring into texture and colour
As the days grow longer and nature bursts into bloom, spring ushers in more than just warmer weather; it invites a renewed connection to the outdoors. This season’s interiors reflect that same vitality, embracing colour, texture, and the organic beauty of natural light. The result? Spaces that feel alive, grounded, and effortlessly fresh. The 2025 colour palette leans into gentle optimism, with hues like pistachio and sage green setting a serene tone. From walls to floors, its versatility shines when paired with more saturated shades of moss, burnt orange, and deep navy, as well as warm neutrals or rich jewel tones, offering a harmonious, nature-inspired aesthetic.
Whether used in immersive tile applications or bold pattern play, these colours create sensory-forward spaces that are both invigorating and comforting. Green continues its reign as a seasonal staple, emerging as the defining hue of spring/summer 2025.
These grounded greens bring tranquillity to interiors, echoing the serenity of the great outdoors. Saturated tones, such as terracotta and vibrant blue. Their presence feels intentional, dramatic yet balanced, adding warmth and personality to any room. Completing the look, honey oak tones offer a nostalgic, tactile layer to the palette. Especially effective in wood-look tiles, this finish pairs beautifully with this season’s colours, grounding contemporary spaces with a sense of timeless comfort.
Nougat terrazzo floors paired with wooden flooring and burnt orange ribbed or fluted mosaic tiles are becoming a popular choice in office spaces, hotels, and lobbies, adding a touch of sophisticated playfulness that makes the space feel lighter and more inviting.
Current poolside design trends emphasize a blend of modern sophistication, safety, and natural integration. Popular flooring choices include textured tiles in shades like charcoal and midnight blue for a sleek look, as well as durable, low-maintenance options like composite decking and texturized porcelain pavers. Non-slip surfaces are also a key feature for enhancing safety. Overall aesthetics focus on clean lines, modern curves, and integrated features such as infinity edges, Baja shelves, and spas, creating a luxurious, resort-like experience. A strong nature-inspired theme ties everything together, promoting harmony between the pool and its environment.
Layout & Texture
Consider tile drenching across the wall and floor for uninterrupted visual flow, ideally in matte or textured palettes to avoid slipperiness.
Introduce patterned floor tiles in herringbone or organic stone finishes; complement with artisan wall tiles like zellige or two-tone combinations.
Use mixed materials (e.g., stone-look tile + terrazzo accent or graphic borders) for focal points.
Installation & Spec Guidelines
Ensure substrate readiness (proper curing, moisture testing).
Maintain appropriate grout widths per tile type and insert movement joints as per SANS.
Select tile products verified under SANS 1449 / 13006 and SANS 10107 regulations.
