Original Style's 2023 Interior Trends
Original Style are passionate about keeping up to date with the latest interior trends, researching innovative styles and new products to forecast what will dominate the interiors scene during 2023. Their tile portfolio offers a wide range of designs, textures, finishes, colours and formats. Original Style offer an extensive range to ensure you’re choosing the most up-to-date styles for an interior that you’ll love for years to come.
Original Style's in-house designers, Jane Addis and Becca Keenan have done extensive research on 2023 interior trends, curating the following three key themes that are set to be everywhere throughout the upcoming year. This year's trends shine a light on timeless tiles from some of Original Style's most loved collections.
SURFACE
The Surface trend is all about tiles that Original Style have sourced from around the world, highlighting their carefully curated range of contemporary tiles. Think clean lines, mixed formats and unusual surfaces, this trend is great for those looking to achieve a modern yet glamourous finish. Incorporating texture into a scheme is a great way to add detail and interest, without committing to bold colours or patterns.
‘Distressed and rustic edges teamed with bold, jewel like tones make up the Surface trend. With a modern, chic feel, this trend is perfect for those looking to incorporate a contemporary feel with a touch of opulence to their home.’ Jane Addis, New Products & Design Manager at Original Style.
This trend focuses on an eclectic mix of tiles, showcasing some of Original Style's most interesting formats and textured products that have been meticulously sourced by Original Style's expert teams. Creating a luxe look in your home can be easily achieved by pairing together certain design elements.
‘This glamourous trend seeks to bring deep jewel like tones contrasting surface finishes and subtle textural detail, creating an elegant feel with rustic touches. We’ve styled black marble hexagons with distressed pink brick tiles, green and gold accents and natural textures to create a look embodying the Surface trend.' Becca Keenan, New Products Designer.
CRAFT
The Craft trend embraces Original Style's unique and celebrated manufacturing processes, highlighting hand-crafted tiles from their most cherished collections. Original Style have celebrated over 35 years as a leading tile manufacturer with their story beginning in the development of decorative tile sets for cast iron fireplaces. Today, they are renowned for our unrivalled tile glazes, exclusive designs and comprehensive tile options; many of which continue to be produced in Exeter, Devon.
‘The craft trend celebrates our wide range of manufacturing methods. From screen-printing and hand-painting to casting, moulding, glazing and digital printing - everything we produce in our Devon factory is unique thanks to the experience and passion of the skilled crafts people, artists and designers who make up our team.’ Jane Addis, New Products & Design Manager at Original Style.
Original Style's unique manufacturing story has allowed them to create a beautiful range of tiles. Original Style's in-house creative team are at the forefront of ceramic techniques including hand-painted intricate florals, botanical details, raised fruits, screen-printed heritage designs, larger format decoratives and glaze development. These wonderful tiles include timeless delft drawings and Art-Deco designs all the way through to contemporary prints and patterns that have been designed by Original Style's specialist teams and printed on our state-of-the-art digital printer.
Original Style pride themselves on their varied tile collections. From the hand-crafted product designed, developed and produced in our Devon factory to complementary porcelain and ceramic tiles in various colours, formats, and original concepts from our team of tile experts.
‘To achieve this look style our checkerboard effect ‘Harlequin’ tiles from the Odyssey Grande collection with softly glazed ‘Mere’ field tiles from the Winchester Cosmopolitan collection. Together these tiles create the basis for a rustic yet timeless kitchen or bathroom space. ’ Becca Keenan, New Products Designer at Original Style.
COLOUR
Glossy jewel-tones, rich reflections and impact, the Colour trend is all about their glazed tiles. Bolder colours have been slowly making their way to the forefront of design, with vivid ceramics becoming a popular choice for those looking to inject some colour into kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and throughout the home.
‘The move towards brighter and bolder colours has been apparent across multiple design sectors including fashion, interiors and homewares.’ Becca Keenan, New Products Designer.
When it comes to embracing the Colour trend with tiles, the options from their ranges are almost endless. Illustrating a radiant feel, this trend features a range of artisanal tiles that are glazed in Original Style's Exeter factory. Take a look at bright pink and blue wall tiles from our Winchester collection, the deep tones of green and red from the Artworks range, bold designs from both Odyssey and Living ranges and even heritage shades from their geometric Victorian Floor Tile collection.
Manufacturing these tiles in-house allows Original Style to create a vibrant and unique range of timeless colours options, so you can find the perfect shade for your interior. Their hand-mixed glazes have been carefully developed over the decades, with precise and perfected recipes. Each tile is fired in their beloved kilns at an exact temperature and time depending on the recipe and glaze.
‘Embrace the Colour trend with the bold shades of Vermillion, Teal or Straw from the Winchester collection. These vibrant wall tiles feature our signature glossy glaze, creating a luxurious yet lively feel. For a creative style statement choose a complementary yet detailed wallpaper, or a contrasting colour for the floor or even the ceiling. The combination of playful prints and bright colours will help you to achieve a fresh, unique finish in kitchens, bathrooms or hallways.’ Becca Keenan, New Products Designer.

Paradis Mere is announced as Original Style’s Tile of the Year 2023
For the sixth year running, Original Style is delighted to reveal their Tile of the Year 2023; Paradis Mere, from the Winchester Tile Collection.
Brand new to Original Style’s Winchester Tile Collection, Paradis Mere is small in format but bold in design. This glazed wall tile features bold botanical palm leaves and has four tile faces - each face showcases more of the pattern, offering a varied abundance of tropical, green leaves. Inspired by gorgeous botanical gardens and the summer palms found in the English Riviera, Paradis Mere was a natural choice for Original Style’s Tile of the Year 2023.
The real beauty of this tile is reflected in its hand-crafted nature. Paradis Mere has been designed and developed in Original Style’s Design Studio in Devon and is manufactured in Exeter by their skilled and passionate production team.
‘We really love the unpredictable, rustic nature of reactive print. Botanical motifs are here to stay for the foreseeable - palms especially. After spending time visiting local botanical gardens, we saw this project as the perfect opportunity to combine them both together to create Botanique Paradis! Designed, developed, and produced in our Devon factory, Botanique really embodies the skilled craftsmanship and passion that we have for creating new products at Original Style.’ Becca Keenan New Products Designer.
Using some of the most authentic manufacturing processes and glaze recipes, this tile is truly unique. Each tile is hand-crafted by skilled artisans using the longstanding screen printing method which, together with its reactive inks, means each kiln produces a different effect, so no two tiles are the same.
‘Creating tile collections is a wonderful mix of trend research, design inspiration and ceramic innovations. We are incredibly blessed to work in a company that is full of passion and drive and we are constantly striving to push technological and creative boundaries to bring new and innovative product to our various ranges. Our factory in Exeter is a wonderful combination of traditional ceramic processes and state of the art technology’ Jade Addis New Products and Design Manager.
Through the combination of traditional manufacturing methods and trend-led style influences, this captivating tile is both aesthetically pleasing and charming. With green tones a constant trending option for interiors, Original Style’s Tile of the Year 2023, Paradis Mere provides a new style in a classic shade.
Paradis Mere retails at £4.96 per tile Paradis Mere | Glazed Tile | Original Style
