The time has come! You’re ready to do that remodel you’ve always dreamed of or flip that house that’s been on the market for months.
It’s ‘OMG so exciting’ until you realize choosing a floor is, um, really daunting.
Except, it doesn’t have to be. The thing is, we tend to get overwhelmed by choices, not knowing which option will look the best, stay in style and hold up to the use and abuse of your entire household.
The truth is, it’s easier than you think.
We’re here to help you find the latest, greatest flooring trends and prepare to tackle new styles in 2019. There’s nothing worse than spending your savings on a new floor only to have it go out of style in less than 5 years.
Trends across hard surfaces (wood, tile, vinyl and laminate) are extremely consistent in 2019. Hard surface manufacturers continue to push towards replicating natural wood and stone flooring trends.
Carpet is kind of its own niche. But that doesn’t make it any less prominent in this year’s flooring trends.
In fact, carpet is still the most popular flooring option on the market, and like hard surfaces, manufacturers are making huge strides and technological advancements to produce never-before-seen carpet looks and trends.
There are lots of flooring trends going on this year. If you’d like a glance at the 5 hottest flooring ideas, here’s a quick rundown.
Wood-look flooring. This isn’t new to 2019. Wood-look flooring in laminate, vinyl and ceramic tile has been hot for years now. In fact, it’s been the #1 flooring trend 2 years in a row now, with no end in sight.
Waterproof flooring. For years, tile was really your only waterproof flooring option. But! It’s 2019 – that means you can now purchase waterproof vinyl, laminate and even carpet. This new feature is a dream for busy homeowners, families and pet owners.
Textured flooring. Mimicking classic hardwood, you’ll see handscraped, wirebrushed and fully distressed floors in wood, laminate and more.
Environmentally-responsible flooring. Beyond looks, in 2019, homeowners want to know where their floor came from. Using natural, renewable, recyclable and home-grown materials is huge right now.
Blonde flooring. Don’t worry; gray is still big! Blonde is just also in and it’s making a huge splash. Light, airy, blonde flooring works with just about any decor and instantly makes your room look bigger.
