In the last months you have explored many ideas on interior design but you simply cannot choose one because you cannot stop asking yourself what the future trends are. You want your house to look trendy and stylish but selecting flooring can be a daunting job. It doesnât have to be. The options should not overwhelm you, you may not know what to choose but if you determine the style, you prefer everything will be easier than you think.
While some flooring options, like wood, never go out of style, this year some innovations are promoted. Do not be surprised to see the list of trends in flooring that will dominate this year.
Honeycomb ceramic tile
Geometric shapes are dominating the interior design, and they will continue to do it even the following year. From furniture items to cushions and decorations, geometric shapes are taking centre stage right now. When it comes to floors, hexagon ceramic tiles are peopleâs favourites when they have to decorate a modern house. You will see hexagon tiles especially in bathrooms, but you shouldnât be surprised to see that people also install them in kitchens. Honeycomb flooring works great for open spaces that combine the kitchen and the living room. The ceramic tiles can be used to surround the sink and kitchen island, and the wood flooring for the living room space. Their shape makes tiles easy to merge with any other flooring. The result is a statement floor. And where do you count that hexagon ceramic tiles are sold at affordable prices?
Concrete floors
People are into the industrial style for both residences and industrial buildings, and concrete floors are a must for this style. Concrete floors can enhance the aesthetic of space if used correctly. If in the past these floors were highly used for parking spaces and garages, nowadays they entered peopleâs houses. That polished look makes kitchens, bathrooms and even bedrooms look sharp and clean. Because they require little to no maintenance, people continue to find them one of the best choices in flooring.
Because many homeowners already have concrete under their existing floors, they only have to polish it. The project is one of the cheapest and the result is truly breath-taking if you pair it with the right furniture items.
Textured flooring
The ones who prefer something classic for their floors choose hardwood. They work with all furniture styles, and complement all interior designs. But this year hardwood floors come with a touch of texture, and you can find them under the name of distressed hardwood. During the distressing process, the floors are textured so they maintain their natural grain that makes a room look more inviting and warm. They mimic classic hardwood but with a touch of modernity. From fully distressed floors to wire-brushed ones and hand-scraped models, they all look striking and superb at the same time.
More and more homeowners are choosing floors that make their homes look welcoming, and the models featuring natural characteristics are a perfect choice. Grey hues are peopleâs favourites because they combine amazingly with all shades furniture items can come in.
Laminate floors
The world of laminate floors comes with countless options, more than you could imagine 10 years ago. Some models look like rustic wood, and they are perfect for traditionally designed houses. With laminate floors, itâs important to note that multiple trends like wide planks, light colours, and styles that look like natural wood stand out. Many people cannot even say which one is real wood and which one is laminate!
This year light-coloured tiles are on the rise because they make spaces look more open and inviting. Because laminate is easy-to-clean people no longer consider the light shade of the flooring a drawback.
Many models even feature texture so if you want to feel the âtouch of woodâ when you walk barefoot, laminate floors will definitely deliver it. And itâs important to state that the process of manufacturing them has become more sustainable than ever, so you no longer have to worry that you harm the environment by choosing this type of floors.
Wood floors
We predict that wood floors will be a major trend this year, and even the following ones. People have started to appreciate more and more the beauty of the mountainside and they want to bring that look at home, even if their houses are located in busy towns. Mountain inspired homes look industrial, but earthy and gritty at the same time, without the bear motifs you will see in a ski resort. And what could work better with these sophisticated interiors than wood floors? The recipe for a beautiful house includes wood flooring, immense glass windows and industrial chic furniture.
To enhance the aesthetics of the space you can leave the pipes and bricks exposed. No matter what other design elements you add to the room, the wood floor will be the focal point of the space and you should decorate around it. Wood floors can be styled any way you like, so if you plan to change the colour palette of the room in the future, they will fit perfectly.
Carpets are back
Soft surfaces will always be peopleâs favourites, and thanks to God there are countless options when it comes to soft floors. Carpets have different sizes of the plush, countless colours, textures and patterns, so they make the perfect addition for someone who wants to cover the floors with something soft at touch. Many models even have a waterproof backing, so they can fit even a family with toddlers.
Carpet manufacturers have made great investments in fibre quality to make sure they meet consumersâ preferences. The latest models are both stylish and functional for homebuyers who donât want to worry about cleaning the carpet weekly. Savvy shoppers can find on the market the same ones lifestyle influencers promote, unique models, and products that fit every style.
