A winning combination and one of the most widespread trends in contemporary indoor and outdoor projects, color and porcelain stoneware combine to offer a powerful aesthetic and conceptual vision which is capable of a defining style.
We are seeing colorful surfaces and furniture being chosen more and more in interior design projects. The combination of color and porcelain stoneware, with the countless solutions this material allows, is a successful and natural pairing, as it unites technical elements and components (which have always been there at a material level) to optimal aesthetic qualities.
Out of the many different tiles on the market which best express the modern concept of color, Casalgrande Padana’s large selection of porcelain stoneware is certainly one of the most intriguing. Extremely versatile, it is well-suited to creating both functional solutions and stylistically contemporary compositions.

When this material comes to mind, we often think about soft colors, muted and warm tones, and dark and light shades of gray. However, the new collections from the Emilia-based company offer a wide range of selection of colors, including some daring and revolutionary tones—ones which would have been unthinkable up until recently for the “neutral” material par excellence.

The rich color palette in Casalgrande Padana’s line provides designers with a wide range of choices, allowing them to create refined spaces and develop all types of styles—from more contemporary ones to the classic and traditional. Furthermore, the presence of various large formats allows one to create free and uninterrupted surfaces which offer visual continuity thanks to a reduced number of surface gaps.
Even while focusing on color, this allows one to design contemporary spaces with a solid chromatic and material balance. In this way, porcelain stoneware creates functional and captivating surfaces, especially when it is used on the walls.

Color blocking is certainly one of the most widespread current trends in interior design. It involves creating solid and contrasting color blocks with saturated and bright hues on surfaces and décor. Extending to the walls and/or floors (and even to the furniture), it allows one to create interior design solutions which can really amaze.
The various colors of porcelain stoneware in the brand’s many collections lend themselves perfectly to creating functional color blocks. They can be used to visually divide spaces or to sort out narrow spaces like small bathrooms or dark kitchens. A calibrated use of color not only makes the spaces brighter, but is also capable of giving them that “wow” factor.

Casalgrande Padana’s porcelain stoneware is perfectly in step with the contemporary trend of using color as the star in the home. The floors and tiles in the Nuance and Atelier collections allow one to cover large surfaces (both horizontal and vertical ones) and to work with extreme freedom from a design point of view —something important which should not be overlooked.
