As we come to the tail end of 2023 and 2024 approaches, it's the perfect time to look ahead and anticipate the top flooring trends that will shape the future of home design. Flooring is a fundamental element of interior decor, and it evolves with design, technology, and environmental considerations. Whether you're planning a home renovation or simply curious about the latest trends in flooring, read on to discover what's in store for the coming year.

1. Sustainable Flooring

Sustainability remains a significant focus in the flooring industry. In 2024, you can expect a surge in demand for sustainable flooring options across all categories, including hardwood, carpet, and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). Manufacturers are increasingly using eco-friendly practices, such as responsible sourcing and innovative production techniques. Look for certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) for hardwood, and keep an eye out for natural fibre carpets made from materials like sisal, jute, and seagrass to ensure you're choosing sustainable flooring for your home.

2. Versatile Multifunctionality

Our homes have transformed into multifunctional spaces, and flooring is evolving to accommodate these changes. Flooring materials that can seamlessly transition from living areas to home offices, entertainment zones, and more are becoming increasingly popular. Versatile, multifunctional flooring ensures that your space remains adaptable to various activities and lifestyles.

3. Dark and Bold Aesthetics

Dark and bold aesthetics are making a comeback in 2024, with deep, rich colours and patterns dominating the scene. This trend extends across hardwood, carpet, and LVT options. These bold designs add a touch of drama and sophistication to interiors, creating striking contrasts with other design elements.

4. Creative Patterned Layouts

In 2024, expect to see more creativity in the way flooring is laid out, including intricate patterns and artistic designs. Herringbone, chevron, and other captivating layouts are making a return, not only in hardwood but also in carpet and LVT. Mixing materials, colours, and shapes can result in visually appealing and dynamic patterns.

5. Textured and Matte Finishes

Glossy finishes have long been favoured but textured and matte finishes are gaining ground. These finishes provide a more natural, rustic look and are less likely to show imperfections. From hardwood to carpet and LVT, expect to see more options for textured and matte flooring in 2024.

6. Smart Flooring Integration

As smart homes become increasingly prevalent, technology integration in flooring is on the rise. Expect to see innovative flooring solutions that incorporate heating systems, wireless charging capabilities, and even interactive LED elements for a touch of modern convenience. This trend extends across various flooring categories.

7. Customisation

Customisation remains a significant trend in 2024. From personalised stains and colours to unique inlays and borders, homeowners are seeking ways to make their floors truly one-of-a-kind. If you're looking for bespoke and custom flooring solutions that match your unique style and preferences, Eye Flooring is here to bring your vision to life. Explore the endless possibilities for customisation in hardwood, carpet, and LVT, and let us create a one-of-a-kind flooring masterpiece for your home.

8. Sustainability Beyond Hardwood

Sustainable practices are no longer limited to hardwood. Both carpet and LVT manufacturers are embracing eco-friendly materials and production techniques. Recycled and renewable materials, as well as low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) products, are gaining popularity, ensuring a greener choice for your flooring.

9. Carpet Innovation

Carpet, a classic flooring choice, is getting a makeover with innovative materials and designs. Expect to see more carpet options that are stain-resistant, eco-friendly, and compatible with high-traffic areas. New technology has enabled carpet to provide the warmth and comfort it's known for, while also being durable and low-maintenance.

10. LVT Enhancements

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is evolving with enhanced durability and more realistic wood and stone textures. In 2024, LVT is becoming an even more versatile choice for flooring. With water-resistant properties, it's suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where moisture can be a concern.

In conclusion, 2024 promises to be an exciting year for flooring trends. Whether you're considering hardwood, carpet, or LVT, these trends offer numerous options for homeowners looking to update their spaces with the latest in flooring design. Sustainability, versatility, and bold aesthetics are just a few of the elements to watch for as you embark on your flooring projects in the coming year.

Bathrooms - to carpet or not to carpet?

A subject which divides the generations is carpeted bathrooms. Popular during the 60’s and 70’s where carpets were seen as a luxury finish around the house, this trend was soon overlooked making way for cushioned vinyl flooring and, in more recent years, luxury vinyl tiles.

Choosing Pattern

We have put together some tips for how to choose (and use) patterned floors so that they completely transform your living space and demonstrate just how enduring they can be when done well.
