Flooring Trends for 2017

Posted on: 10th January 2017

Happy New Year! Christmas is over and the January blues are upon us. As we all think about renewing our gym subscription and getting a juicer (if we haven’t broken our resolution already), it probably feels like 2017 hasn’t been much fun. But the New Year brings new trends, and in the world of interiors, things are hotting up. We take a look at some of the biggest flooring trends for 2017, and how you can stay one step ahead of the game.

Luxury Vinyl

We’ve been singing its praises for years, but it seems that luxury vinyl tiling might finally have its time in the limelight in 2017. This stunning new flooring is a cut above the classic ‘stick and peel’ vinyl you might remember from the eighties. It’s durable, water-resistant, easy to clean and inexpensive – but looks just like real hardwood or stone. Consumers are catching on to this great new way to ‘get the look for less’.

Wide Wood Planks

More and more customers are asking for larger planks of wood flooring – and manufacturers are creating wider and longer boards. Large planks look modern and elegant, creating the illusion that your room is bigger. This trend is set to become a style staple in 2017.

Dark and Grey

Grey wood flooring has been very popular over the past few years, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. But dark stained flooring is growing in popularity, as homeowners look to make a bold style statement and make any room seem larger and grander. 2017 is all about standing out.

Alternative Materials

Customers are being given more choice than ever before with their flooring, and realising that there’s more out there than wood and wool. Bamboo, cork, and even concrete are just some of the new options homeowners are experimenting with. People want to try something different, especially if it’s eco-friendly.
