Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
Flooring trends 2023 bring back classic charm with retro-style flooring trends like smoked wood and herringbone patterns that pair perfectly with contemporary decor.
Wide planks create an open feel and represent simplicity - trends which tie in with the popular minimalist movement. Light-colored woods help cover any minor scratches to give a refreshed appearance without changing up your flooring completely.
Terrazzo flooring, composed of marble chippings set into concrete, is an everlasting choice that works beautifully with virtually every decor style. Even furniture and home accents such as this patterned lamp from Anthropologie feature this iconic material!
Terrazzo now comes in wide planks and squares to bring modern spaces a fresh new look. Honing allows for either glossy sheen or matte texture and this material's versatility allows it to work at various scales.
Eco-minded homeowners and designers are seeking ways to incorporate natural elements into their spaces. Cork floors are one such sustainable flooring trend that adds character while remaining low hygroscopicity (meaning moisture cannot be absorbed). When shopping for this green option, look for neutral hues or earthy tones like the brown-tinged oak floor featured from Johnson Hardwood.
As an accompaniment to Pantone's Color of the Year Viva Magenta, flooring with bold stripes has made an impactful statement. They can be found both on carpet patterns and hardwood flooring with sculpted or tufted pattern designs.
Hardwood floors in lighter tones remain popular due to their durability and versatility. Tan and shades of white flooring work beautifully with any style decor and can help brighten up the room instantly. Darker oak flooring stained in darker hues also can look beautiful when combined with rich decor colors.
Wood floors with textured finishes such as hand-scraped or wire-brushed finishes add both character and charm to your home, as they are easy to maintain while hiding scratches or dents more effectively.
Are you searching for ways to add luxury and character to your home? Look no further than 2023's tile trends; earthy textures and designs complement both classic and contemporary decor perfectly.
Cottagecore may advocate for clean and straightforward designs, but this year has demonstrated that simplicity doesn't need to be boring. Many tiles now feature an intricate mottled texture which adds depth without feeling casual or country.
Geometric patterns remain popular, with hexagons and diamonds topping the list of geometric designs. Bolder colors and designs such as checkerboard are making an impactful statement; for instance, bolder checkerboard patterns have made a comeback in multiple forms and colors.
Herringbone patterns are often used in tile floors, but this popular trend can also add visual interest in wood-floored areas like powder rooms, entryways and mudrooms.
Modern grey wood remains a popular choice, while lighter blonde or beige flooring has also seen a surge in popularity. These colors hide minor scratches while complementing any decorating style; plus they make any open concept space feel larger!
Cottagecore--a design movement that emphasizes rustic and subdued aesthetics--remains popular; however, 2023 has seen an uptick in homeowners looking for luxurious flooring options. Sheen or high-shine finish flooring options have fallen by the wayside; instead a matte or semi-polished lappato finish is often better at emphasizing mottled textures while creating a timeless aesthetic.
As with any home decor element, flooring color trends come and go; but with some basic knowledge about selecting floors you can pick out one that will stand the test of time.
2023's popular flooring trend: light neutral wood floors in blondes and beiges that match any color scheme seamlessly. These floors hide minor scratches while making any space seem larger by creating an airy environment.
If you want a floor that makes an impactful statement, opt for embossed dark stain laminate flooring or sliced black hickory hardwoods - these pre-loved charmers offer more drama. And to add even more drama, try herringbone patterning that features different widths and directions for an eye-catching effect.
