In 2025, ceramic design moves towards the sensorial. Advances in technology enable hyper-realistic finishes that evoke nature with astonishing fidelity. But what truly sets the tone this year is the search for balance, connection and authenticity.

Here, we present five key trends brought to life through collections that reinterpret this universe with elegance and a character all their own.

1. Earth tones: colour as refuge

Earth tones have become firmly established as the chromatic language of contemporary design. Soft browns, beige, sand, greige and amber fill spaces with enveloping warmth and serene beauty that soothes and reassures. This palette connects with nature without excess and works in all kinds of settings – from residential interiors to large-scale contract projects.

The Salma collection clearly reflects this trend. Inspired by stones such as Aracruz and Negresco, it offers two exquisite options: Bone, with a calm luminosity, and Amber, which brings depth and a sense of tranquillity. Surfaces that blend sophistication and natural charm, creating spaces that exude well-being.

2. Natural textures: touch matters

Now more than ever, we want to touch what we see. Ceramic surfaces no longer simply imitate natural stone – they recreate it with remarkable tactile precision, adding depth, movement and a mineral aesthetic that transforms spaces.

The Tundra collection captures this with grace. Its design is inspired by a majestic natural stone, with veining that ranges from white to brown on a Cream or Greige base, evoking the vastness of Arctic landscapes. A texture with soul, conveying serenity and awakening the senses.

3. Warm minimalism: purity with soul

Minimalism is being reimagined. Gone is the extreme coldness – today we seek more human spaces, where formal purity coexists with feeling. Clean, unembellished surfaces with visual depth and an honest material language. Nativa fits perfectly within this approach – a collection that interprets travertine with impeccable realism. Its Natural finish faithfully reproduces the texture of marble, with subtle nuances that add warmth without sacrificing sobriety. Ideal for interiors that call for a neutral base with character – elegant and timeless.

 

4. Reinterpreted tradition: Mediterranean soul with a contemporary twist

Ceramics are returning to their roots, reclaiming local materials with cultural and aesthetic value, reimagined through cutting-edge technology. Stones that have shaped cities, temples and homes for centuries are now available with technical treatments that enhance their durability and visual appeal.

Bateig Verona was created with this intention. Inspired by Novelda stone, it captures the spirit of Crema Marfil marble and transforms it into a contemporary surface – uniform, luminous and subtly veined. Perfect for projects seeking elegance, identity and a deeper connection with the region.

5. Total functionality: beauty that adapts to everything

The ceramics of the future are beautiful – and intelligent. Thanks to their varied formats and thicknesses, they can be used on floors, walls, worktops or furniture, creating integrated, functional spaces with a unified aesthetic. The boundary between technical and decorative has disappeared.

Gris Levante is a prime example – a surface that stands out for its large format and excellent technical performance. Its strength and elegance make it ideal for flooring and cladding, even in the most demanding applications. Its sober, timeless and versatile look has made it one of the most highly regarded products among architects and interior designers.

Collections such as Tundra, Nativa, Bateig Verona, Salma and Gris Levante are available in large formats and in thicknesses of 6 and 12 mm, enabling seamless visual continuity across all kinds of surfaces. The result: more versatile, longer-lasting and visually striking projects. 

Ceramic design that inspires and connects 

The collections we offer don’t just follow ceramic trends – they define them. The warmth of earth tones, the richness of natural textures and the revival of materials with Mediterranean identity reflect a lifestyle that values authenticity, sensorial experience and lasting beauty.

At Arklam, design goes beyond the aesthetic – it is a conscious decision. The materials you choose speak not only of your style… but also of your values.
