The Top Pool Tile Trends in Adelaide for 2019
Summer is here, so we thought what better way to kick off the New Year than with some inspiration and insight into what pool tiles are currently trending in Adelaide!
For an insight into the recent trends and favourite styles, we spoke with Belinda, who is a Senior Interior Designer here at Italia Ceramics, and she gave us the heads up that white pool tiles are a stunning and popular choice this year in Adelaide. From colours to materials, and even coping, we have everything listed below that you need to know before tiling your pool.
Benefits of Pool Tiles:
Durable and hygienic - Pool tiles are non-porous and easy to clean, which is proven to be a more hygienic option, as well as reducing the risks of cracks. Unlike other pool materials, that are more vulnerable to splitting, as well as being susceptible to absorbing dirt and other nasties that can build up bacteria and lead to mould.
Aesthetic / appearance – Tiles give your pool and backyard a premium and upscale appearance, with the ability to customise the overall look based on your choice of tile, colour and design.
As well as this pool tiles also provide safety with non-slip surfaces, they are easy to lay, and are consistent.
Types of Tiles Trending:
Two of the most popular types of pool tiles in Adelaide are Ceramic Mosaics, which provide endless colours and are a more cost effective approach to tiling your pool, and Glass Mosaics, which add a stunning luxurious element to your pool, providing a touch of resort living to your backyard.

Tile Colours Trending:
Blue and green are the two most popular colour choices for pool tiles in Adelaide. There are endless shades of each colour to choose from, allowing you to customise your pool to exactly how you imagined it.
Whilst blue and green are the most common colour choices, white pool tiles are becoming increasingly popular here in Adelaide and around the world.
White is a stunning neutral pool tile option, which makes the pool appear more spacious, and it does not alter the natural light blue colour of the water.
Though with all colour choices, remember that the water colour can change slightly in appearance dependent on external factors, for example the time of the day, the environment which surrounds the pool (trees, fencing, landscaping etc.) as well as the depth and shape of your pool.
