Homeowners and interior designers alike are always looking to keep their pulse on the most sought-after and popular flooring trends. Whether it’s the lengths of hard surface floors, the bold color scheme of a chic area rug, or the right design to make a statement in your home, there’s no shortage of stylish flooring options that are catching consumers’ eyes. Keep reading to see the top flooring trends for 2023! 

Wide Plank Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floors never go out of style. The look and feel of real wood is unlike anything else and it’s a great way to add natural elements to any space.

Today, many homeowners are having fun with the size of their floor boards by choosing wide plank hardwood to put in their homes. Bigger lengths and widths of wood planks can elongate a room to make a space look even bigger and more abundant. With the right wood flooring, there is nothing more high-end! 

Bold Geometric Patterns

Bold designs such as flooring or wall covering with a geometric pattern is an artistic way to create a space that is truly unique. Geometric patterns require great attention to detail – the same that would be required for a luxurious piece of art.

Geometrics can be a part of the home through decorative tiles, and even wood can be customized with a geometric pattern. This adds extra texture and depth – you’ll be tempted to reach out and touch it yourself! 

Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are a great choice for both floors and walls. When looking for the perfect floor tile, consumers have their pick of visuals to choose from including fabric looks, textured looks, mosaics, encaustic designs, terracotta, terrazzo and many more!

Tile can also take on the look of true natural stone or realistic hardwood visuals in a porcelain or ceramic format that is easier to install. Today’s consumers have taken a liking to large format tile which looks magnificent when installed on floors or on walls. Large format tiles can cover an entire space to create a cohesive and uniform look throughout. 

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choices

Modern design can be more than simply beautiful – it can also be eco-friendly. Flooring choices that are sustainable and bring the feeling of nature to inside the home have been increasingly popular among consumers.

For example, Mohawk has created PureTech, a cost-effective and PVC free waterproof floor. PureTec is made with a renewable polymer core, which is good for the environment, and good for your family!

PureTec is durable so it will perform well in households with children and pets. Plus, PureTech comes in popular floor colors and styles such as white oak and other hardwood visuals.  

Gray Tones in Flooring

When it comes to neutral shades and cool tones, gray has become a consumer favorite. Not only have people added gray accents and decor to their homes, but gray has even made way to flooring options too.

Gray tones are showing up more and more, especially in the form of luxury vinyl plank flooring. Since luxury vinyl planks are durable and resistant against water, they are a popular choice for high traffic areas. So even the busiest parts of the home can include a stylish gray color palette!

Natural Wood Floors and Reclaimed Wood

Wood floors stand the test of time because of their prestige and versatility. Natural wood floors with knots and graining is a top choice as it adds more character to the home. Reclaimed wood on floors and walls add a vintage feel and it keeps excess wood from having to be discarded. Plus, it creates a wooden floor or wall that is one-of-a-kind and unlike anyone else’s space! 

Eclectic Area Rugs

Is there anything more aesthetically pleasing than an eclectic area rug? Area rugs can add a hint of softness to any space while also making an undeniable design statement. A fashion-forward rug is the perfect way to set the tone for any living room. Select an area rug with vivid colors or a unique design pattern to create a focal point within your space. 

Luxury Vinyl Tile

Luxury vinyl tile delivers on all needs – it’s durable and can replicate the looks of other flooring types. For those that are looking for the look of hardwood at a more affordable price, luxury vinyl tiles can be designed to look exactly like real wood. Luxury vinyl floors can even replicate the look of natural stone to bring a realistic stone flooring visual to your home design without the price tag!

Matching Your Floor to Your Design Aesthetic

Look to the rest of your home when selecting the right floor. What interior design trends speak to you? What aesthetic are you hoping to achieve in your home? Do you prefer modern or classic? Farmhouse or beachy? This will help inform your decision on what the interior design of your home should be, and ultimately will lead you to finding the right floor for you! 

Conclusion

Wide planks create a luxurious look. Now is the time to have fun with style, so consider bold patterns and bright colors. Try searching for a good looking floor that is also sustainable. Gray color palettes combine classic styles with modern trends.
