Developments: 2. Recent developments in interior design and architecture show a growing emphasis on tactile, three-dimensional surfaces and versatile material applications. At the Cersaie exhibition, designers have moved toward surfaces that engage both sight and touch. Tonalite CEO Carlo Pagani noted a demand for the “corporeality of materials,” leading to innovations like double-layered tiling. Additionally, companies like Sublime are integrating outdoor elements, such as swimming pools, into living spaces by treating them as furniture elements. Further trends highlight the use of microcement for seamless renovations in kitchens and bathrooms, as well as the expanded use of ceramic tiles on stairs, ceilings, and in living rooms. In France, large-format tiles are being utilized to minimize grout lines, while traditional Moroccan zellige tiles are experiencing a resurgence due to their handmade craftsmanship and unique aesthetic qualities. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Interior design trends emphasize microcement and Moroccan zellige tiles Interior design trends are shifting toward seamless microcement surfaces for easy renovations and the use of traditional Moroccan zellige tiles and large-format ceramics to enhance architectural spaces. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/interior-design-trends-emphasize-microcement-and-moroccan-zellige-tiles ### 2026-09-23: Cersaie exhibition highlights trends in three-dimensional design Design trends at Cersaie highlight a shift toward three-dimensional, tactile surfaces and integrated outdoor living elements like furniture-style swimming pools. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cersaie-exhibition-highlights-trends-in-three-dimensional-design --- Cite as: Interior design and architectural trends.
