Porcelanosa Trend Dark 12.3×44.3cm

The Trend Dark tile is listed as suitable for wall use in bathrooms, which includes shower enclosures and splashback areas where walls are regularly exposed to moisture. Made from high-quality ceramic with a matt finish, it is designed to perform well in wet bathroom environments. However, it is not listed as suitable for floor use, so it should not be used on shower floors or any horizontal surface where foot traffic is expected.

Each box of Porcelanosa Trend Dark contains 24 tiles and covers approximately 1.31m². For a typical kitchen splashback, measure the width and height of the area in metres and multiply to get the m² figure, then divide by 1.31 to find the number of boxes required. Always add around 10% extra for cuts and any future touch-ups, particularly when working with the brick-shaped metro format which often requires more cuts around sockets and edges.

Darker tiles can add depth and drama to a bathroom, and the matt finish of the Trend Dark softens any harshness that a gloss dark tile might create, giving the space a sophisticated, considered feel rather than a heavy one. In compact bathrooms, pairing the Trend Dark on a single feature wall – such as behind a basin or bath – whilst keeping other walls lighter can create a striking focal point without overwhelming the room. The 12.3×44.3cm brick format also adds a sense of height when laid vertically, which can help a smaller bathroom feel taller.
