MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As 2024 comes to a close, new reports from Zillow1 and Houzz2 indicate that Cottage Chic style will be a dominant design trend of 2025.
But homeowners don’t need to wait until 2025 to get in on the trend, because The Tile Shop is ready to help you embrace Cottage Chic design right now with Wexbord and Coralie, the newest tiles in its exclusive collaboration with British brand Laura Ashley.
“Cottage Chic design draws inspiration from the rustic charm and cozy style of the English countryside,” said Kirsty Froelich, director of design, The Tile Shop. “The Laura Ashley aesthetic was built on these elements, so it’s a perfect fit for our new tiles.”
Wexbord is based on a popular upholstery pattern launched in 1981, while Coralie is adapted from Laura Ashley’s beloved wallpaper of the same name. The patterns feature floral details found in nature and evoke an organic feeling of comfort and happiness.
In translating these archival designs to tile, “We modified the scale, layout and colors of these heritage prints for our customers,” explained Froelich. “We made the lines feel more organic with curved touches and updated the color palettes, so they’re fresh and on-trend. These tiles will work well in traditional, transitional, city cottage and modern farmhouse designs.”
The updated colorways—midnight blue, fresh green and dove grey—are also inspired by the English countryside. “These colors are fresh and energizing, but also soothing, and embody that feeling of a cozy cottage and being in nature,” said Froelich.
To get the look, Froelich suggests combining multiple colors and prints to give your space a cozy, vintage feel with lots of visual interest: “One of the hallmarks of Cottage Chic style is the mixing and layering of different elements. You can use these tiles with neutrals and let the beautiful Laura Ashley patterns be the focal point, or you can go for a more eclectic look and mix several patterns and colors.”
Laura Ashley is one of several exclusive collaborations between The Tile Shop and its world-class design partners, among them Nikki Chu, Alison Victoria, and Morris & Co.
