Exquisite furniture, high-end finishes, and ornate architectural flourishes will certainly command attention when looking in a home— but there’s another, slightly more humble element that may catch eyes first. The floors underfoot have a powerful bearing on the quality and character of the home. Flooring brings cohesion to the design while allowing each room’s distinct personality to stand apart.
Here are the top four flooring trends that we are watching now.
Warm-Colored Woods
Wood floors offer unbeatable character, durability, and acoustic advantages for homes. Warm-toned wood is versatile, complementing designs that embrace serene neutral shades and natural textiles. These floors also pair well with popular shades of greens and blues.
Adventurous patterns
Buyers are drawn to unconventional hardwood floors as well. We’re seeing more adventurous layouts like herringbone and chevron being combined with straight wood patterns, adding depth and character. These layouts, with their unique finish, offer a subtle yet stunning variation from the standard straight design.
Playful, Patterned Tile
The current trend of tile leans towards larger format installations, reducing grout lines and creating a more seamless appearance. However, colorful and patterned floor tiles are still in demand for bathrooms and kitchens. We’re seeing playful checkerboard patterns in both tile and stone, which provide a timeless yet contemporary look.
Ultramodern Concrete
We have also noticed a growing preference for concrete flooring in urban settings and modern homes. Concrete floors offer the flexibility to be polished and stained, providing a variety of colors and finishes. They are renowned for their durability and industrial-chic.
Lastly, we want to emphasize the significance of choosing materials and designs that have timeless appeal to a broad audience. While staying up-to-date with flooring trends is important, it’s crucial to select options that will stand the test of time.
In the end, selecting flooring that aligns with the home’s architecture, lifestyle and overall design will significantly impact its beauty, price, and time spent on the market prior to selling.
