It’s that time again, your floors are looking old and a bit outdated; you’re looking for a change! But where do you start? With wood, laminate, carpet, vinyl and everything in -between, choosing a new flooring can be difficult. We’re here to make that decision a little easier, covering all the top trends in the flooring world for 2021. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure these trends are here to stay – there’s nothing worse than spending money on redecorating for it to go out of style in a couple of years!
Trend #1: Vinyl Flooring
Advancements in technology mean that vinyl flooring is becoming more and more popular due to the closeness in look and feel to wood flooring it has become. Vinyl floors are easy to maintain and clean, as well as being very hardwearing, so will not need replacing for a long time.
The beauty of vinyl flooring is that it comes in many different styles to choose from, so you can tailor it your taste exactly. Wood-look vinyl tiles are available in standard planks, a herringbone pattern, or even parquet flooring. Vinyl flooring also comes in stone-look, closely mimicking marble, limestone, travertine, and more.
The versatility of vinyl flooring means that it’s a trend here to stay in 2021 and beyond!
Trend #2: Floor framing
If you’re looking for a way to add architectural interest to your home, look no further than floor framing! By laying your flooring out in a certain way, you can change the whole look and feel of a room. Use flooring to frame bathtubs, kitchen islands or even doorways to create a unique look that adds interest to even the blandest of spaces.
Trend #3: Concrete
Long gone are the days where concrete is seen only on the floors of our garages and basements. Concrete is no longer the cold, damp flooring it used to be. In the right setting, and using the right materials to achieve a smooth, satin finish, concrete flooring is fast becoming one of the most popular flooring trends of 2021. Finished with the right rug and furnishings, concrete can give a space a modern feel with an urban edge, perfect for those looking to go more minimalist with their flooring choice.
Trend #4: Mid-tone woods
In the past, the light-washed woods have triumphed in the flooring department, due to their ability to open up small, dark spaces. It seems in 2021, people have been moving away from this trend in favour of more medium tones. This colour is much more versatile than their pale, washed-out predecessor, and creates a timeless, rustic look, that can be dressed up or down depending on your style.
Trend #5: Uniquely shaped tiles
The ever-popular subway tile isn’t going away any time soon, don’t worry! However, in 2021, we’re seeing more and more people opting for quirky geometric shapes on their floors to help freshen up their interiors. Choosing the right grout for your unique tiles is important, as it can either quiet down or accentuate your tile shape; choosing a colour of high contrast will make even more of a statement!
