Are you interested in keeping up with interior design trends? Or a homeowner, simply considering getting a new, more modern floor installed in your house this year?

Flooring is a highly important element of interior design as it sets the tone for the entire space. As we welcome in the new year, we wanted to share some projections we see coming in terms of popular flooring trends in 2024. It’s fun each year to explore the popular types of flooring and emerging trends that will shape the design landscape. Let's look into the world of flooring to discover what trends may lay ahead. 

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood floors have been a timeless favorite for decades, and their popularity will no doubt continue to grow in 2024. With its natural beauty, durability, and versatility, hardwood floors complement any style. They can look stunning in modern, traditional or rustic homes. In the coming year we will see an emphasis on sustainable hardwood options, like reclaimed or ethically-sourced woods. Additionally, wider plank sizes and unique finishes like wire-brushed or hand-scraped textures will gain traction, adding character to spaces. 

Luxury Vinyl Tile and Plank

Luxury vinyl flooring has skyrocketed in popularity over the last several years, and this trend is expected to continue in 2024. Luxury vinyl planks and tiles offer a cost-effective alternative to natural materials like hardwood or stone, while still providing a realistic appearance. Advances in technology have allowed manufacturers to create vinyl flooring that mimics the texture and look of high-end or natural materials. In the future, we can anticipate even more innovative designs like patterned or textured options, as well as options fo durability or eco-friendly styles. 

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Options

As we continue to become more aware of environmental concerns, more sustainable and eco-friendly flooring options will become widely available in the 2024. Consumers are actively looking for materials that are responsible sourced, renewable, and have minimal environmental impact, and will often pay more for these types of products. Bamboo flooring, for example, is a popular choice for its fast-growing nature and durability. Cork flooring offers a sustainable and comfortable option that is resistant to mold and mildew. In the coming years, we can expect to see more innovative and environmentally-friendly flooring materials entering the marketplace. 

Concrete Flooring

Concrete flooring has been increasingly embraced for its industrial and minimalist appearance. In 2024, we expect this trend to continue, with concrete flooring becoming more popular in both residential and commercial spaces. Concrete offers sleek and modern aesthetics, and its versatility allows for various finishes, including polished, stained or textured options. We may see the integration of decorative elements like patterns or colors, enhancing the visual appeal and aesthetics of concrete floors. Technology will surely continue to evolve, allowing for easier and more cost-effective manufacturing and installation processes for concrete floors. 

As we look ahead to the upcoming year, the world of flooring is going to witness exciting trends and innovations. Regardless of how new or trendy it is, there is a flooring choice for every style and taste. Embrace these new trends and transform your space into a reflection of you.
