Latest Flooring Trends in Homes
Flooring trends don’t change as frequently as other parts of the home, including such features as wall colors or kitchen designs, etc. However, a change in flooring does create the biggest impact possible as it runs through the whole house. And needless to say, changing the flooring of your home means a major makeover that can get overwhelming.
With changing technologies and arrival of new flooring options in the market, homeowners can develop a passion for new styles. And just because a certain type of flooring is all the latest craze, you need not follow the trend unless the flooring suits the local climate. Before opting to follow the latest flooring trends, do ensure they are suitable for your needs – whether you want a spill-proof floor or a soft flooring or you need something that is both functional and stylish.
The latest flooring trends show a penchant for no-fuss floorings like ceramic and vitrified tiles with patterns that mimic natural materials such as marble, wood and granite. These faux flooring cost a fraction of the original material, are long-lasting and give your home a high-end look too. Here is a look at some of the flooring materials trending this year:
