31 Jan 4 Flooring Trends to Transform Your Home

Flooring trends change and evolve every few years and 2022 is no different. It doesn’t matter whether you’re choosing hardwood flooring or luxury vinyl, the winds of change are blowing in the new year and it’s evident in trending flooring options with prints, patterns, colors and textures. Hardwood remains the king of flooring choices in 2022 and trends fall into one of four basic categories, with a style to accommodate any personal preference.

Smokey Grays

Dark, smoky-toned grays have been elevated this year for a look that’s rustic, yet edgy. Any type of wood can undergo the process to create the unique appearance without the need for staining. The transformative process enhances the wood’s natural grain and creates a darker gray for drama that adds character to any room.

Rich and Bold

Gone are the days of a carefully chosen mid-range color palette. The trend for 2022 is one of rich colors and bold grains. The look is typically achieved by incorporating a blend of wood species together. Another way manufacturers are realizing the goal of rich and bold is through combining various types of reclaimed wood comprised of multiple species and tones.

White and Bleached

The white or bleached look in hardwoods is particularly popular in contemporary spaces. The lighter tones are great for brightening any environment, especially minimalist spaces. Whitewashed or bleached hardwood is equally suitable as a neutral base for vibrant home design or the perfect foundation for more subdued décor.

Wide Planks

The use of wider planks has rebounded with a vengeance. Wider planks are equally appropriate for use in residential and commercial spaces. The flooring can be laid in a straight and traditional manner, but patterns using the wider planks are seeing increased popularity to create unusual designs and an appealing rustic flavor. Reclaimed wood is especially favored, complete with saw marks and nail holes for character.
