In identifying the hottest current and future trends for 2021, Daltile’s lead product designer, Laura Grilli, highlights the “Pursuit Of Beauty / Beautiful Luxe” and categorizes this as a sub-trend of the larger design movement of well-being
“Being surrounded by a beautiful context makes us feel better and contributes to our well-being,” Grilli said. “However, it is interesting how the concept of beauty and luxury is changing. Beauty and luxury do not mean opulence and redundant luxe in 2021, but rather creating harmony and an aesthetic that feels lovely, not showy. Luxury this year will be expressed through high-end materials such as expensive fabrics, marbles, and precious woods combining with good-quality craftsmanship to add sophisticated warmth to a space and a sense of intimacy.”
