Now that you’ve finished toasting the new year – and sweeping up all those celebratory confetti – you might have spent enough time looking at your floors to consider what might be a better look for your home. Even if you’re just exploring your options, it’s always good to know what’s trending when it comes to the best flooring choices. Classics are always in vogue – by definition, but there are also some great new styles on the scene that you may want to consider.
Classic Elegance Never Goes Out of Style
Hardwood flooring is never going out of style. This year, lighter color choices are gaining popularity over the darker options. White oak is popular along with other light, natural tones. Light wood tones don’t show dust as easily and give your space a light, airy feel.
Natural stone is also a timeless classic. Here in Texas limestone is the most popular choice since it’s basically quarried right in our back yard. It is very durable and resistant to mold, mildew, and staining.
Classic tile patterns are expected to make a comeback this year. Any rectangular tile can be laid in a chevron or herringbone pattern for a little extra visual pop.
New and Trendy for a New Year
Eco-conscious living and sustainable materials are top of mind for many homeowners looking to renovate. We expect the top three to be cork, bamboo, and reclaimed wood flooring.
If you like to bring the drama when it comes to your floors, consider statement tiles. We’ve been seeing more interest in this trend and expect the demand for it to continue to grow well into 2024. With unique shapes as well as bold patterns and bright colors, these can serve as an accent or by creating a bold scene-stealing look for a larger area. We love to see brighter colors in kitchens and guest baths especially.
Terrazzo is not new but it is making a strong comeback in the world of design. It’s a composite including fragments of marble, quartz, and other stone that creates a unique mosaic-like effect. It has a diverse color palette, and a great retro vibe.
