The Gothic Tile Trend

The gothic trend is steeped in history and is an interior theme that has been around for generations. However, in recent years the gothic movement has seen a revival with many adopting gothic decor into their homes.

Gothic interior design typically sees dark, sombre colour palettes dominate with shades such as black, grey, purple, dark blue and deep greens featuring heavily. While gothic colour palettes may have remained pretty similar over the years, modern gothic design has become more minimalist as opposed to the Victorian Gothic interiors trend, with rooms becoming more intricate and subtle in their design.

Many can often be wary of gothic interiors, fearing that darker shades can become overpowering. But, whether you want subtle gothic touches, or an all out gothic hideaway, we’re here to show you how your tiles can help you tap into the gothic trend.
