The Original Style Tile of the Year 2026 is the Living Promenade collection, a sophisticated series of large-format ceramic tiles designed to bring a classic yet contemporary aesthetic to interior walls. Defined by a clean, vertical stripe pattern that balances crisp white backgrounds with soft, artisanal color bands, this collection introduces elegant structure and a sense of heightened space to any room.

The Design

The collection features a hand-painted, watercolor-effect stripe pattern that offers subtle variation in tone and texture. This organic finish softens the geometric structure of the stripes, giving each tile an authentic, crafted appearance.

Colour Variations

The Living Promenade collection is available in three distinct, versatile colorways tailored to complement a variety of interior palettes:

• Margate (Yellow/Ochre): A warm, sun-drenched ochre that creates an inviting, cheerful, and grounding atmosphere, perfect for kitchens and vanity backsplashes.
• Brighton (Blue/Periwinkle): A serene, classic coastal blue that evokes a refreshing, spa-like calm, making it ideal for walk-in showers and bathroom spaces.
• Hastings (Sage Green): A muted, earth-toned sage green that introduces a natural tranquility to modern washrooms and and transitional spaces from the outdoors.
