2022 Home Flooring Trends

Flooring is a crucial structural component of your home, and is a great way to show your stylistic flair as well. You can use it to complement the overall style of the interior of your home, or you can have it serve as the focal point. Having flooring be one of the focal points of any space has become very popular in the last few years and will remain popular as it is one of the first things you notice when you enter any home or building. The following flooring trends have continued to gain popularity this year and will increase the overall appeal of your home. 

Geometric Tiles – For a more modern style, you can use tiles in the shape of hexagons. The geometric shapes draw the eye and create a work of art on your floor. Hexagonal tiles work well in rustic style, modern, or contemporary homes, and are also great for commercial use. In a time where being edgy and eccentric is a sought-after style, using hexagonal shapes is a great way to add edginess to any space. 

Carpets – I know what you’re thinking. Aren’t carpets old school? Well, maybe, but with the help of hardwood floor manufacturers, they make carpets that come in all colors and styles, even ones that are similar to hardwood floors. Carpets tend to be a more comfortable flooring option and they help reduce the echoing sound of footsteps. Carpeting can also help create a more comfy and cozy vibe if that is the aesthetic you are going for. There are so many types of carpets out there that you’ll be able to find plenty of options that match perfectly to your style. 

Porcelain – Porcelain flooring is gaining popularity due to its versatility and durability. These days, everyone leads busy lives and having floors that are easy to clean and can handle many different environmental factors is a huge bonus. Porcelain creates a very clean look that will complement any style, from modern and contemporary to a homey cottage style.

Bleached Wood – Bleached wood flooring is traditional wood flooring that has undergone a chemical process to achieve a lighter color. Bleached wood is a great option as it fits well stylistically with most homes. It has become very popular in recent years as many people like the style of gray and beige interiors which are lighter and more modern. The lighter color of the bleached floors provides a great compliment to any gray or beige interior. Bleached wood is also scratch resistant and long-lasting which makes it great for any space.

Laminate – Choosing laminate flooring is a great option because there is an assortment of different styles, colors, and designs. Any style you can think of, there’s sure to be something out there that matches your vision. Because laminate flooring covers the floors you already have, you have to be sure your floors are in the right condition to start with. This is something to keep in mind as it could be the potential downside to using laminate. On the plus side, installing laminate floors is cost effective and looks amazing which makes it a great alternative to other flooring styles.

Concrete – Concrete has been a tried and true option for residential and commercial buildings for a long time. It is durable and easy to clean which makes it a great option for high traffic buildings. It is also moisture resistant which makes it great for environments with high moisture, as well as for families with kids or pets, and commercial spaces such as office buildings, that include kitchen or break areas. 

Parquet – Parquet flooring is wood flooring made up of smaller, geometric shapes. There are so many patterns to choose from, so you are sure to find one that fits well with the interior of your home. It is a great way to add character and liven up any space. It is 100% waterproof which makes it especially great for bathrooms, kitchens, or entryways, however, you really can use it in any space.
