Forecasting Flooring Trends for 2024
Your home’s flooring is not only functional, but it is also an investment in the beauty, comfort, and value of your home. When your flooring is old, worn-out, or damaged, your home won’t make a great first impression on guests. Damaged flooring can even be a safety hazard. If you have home renovations on your list of New Year’s resolutions, installing new flooring can dramatically improve the beauty of your home while being an amazing investment in its future. Before you schedule a consultation for flooring installation, look at these predictions for flooring trends for 2024.
Natural Hardwood
Natural hardwood flooring might be more expensive than other types of economy flooring, but the investment is more than worth it. Real hardwood floors have been increasing in popularity over the last few years as homeowners realize that it’s worth it to spend a little more on quality flooring that will last a lifetime. The biggest trend in flooring for 2024 is a return to lighter wood tones for flooring. Light wood floors can seamlessly integrate into any architecture, interior design, and aesthetic, and they will stand the test of time.
Checkerboard Tile
Checkerboard tile flooring is making a huge comeback. Checkerboard tiles are classic, timeless, and eye-catching. With advancements in vinyl and linoleum tile flooring, it’s easy to find design options that fit your budget and aesthetics. Homeowners aren’t limited to black and white, either. Your checkerboard tiles can be in almost any color you can imagine. Warm neutrals, earth tones, and pops of colored tiles here and there are going to be a huge trend for 2024 home design.
Natural Stone
Like natural hardwood, natural stone flooring is an investment in your home’s future value and beauty. Natural stone flooring includes travertine, marble, slate, and granite. Natural stone is a versatile material that can last a lifetime with proper care. It can be used for countertops and tiles as well as flooring and can be cut into tiles of almost any shape. You can also customize the color, design, and pattern of your natural stone flooring to match any aesthetic and preferences. 2024 will see bolder patterns, pops of color, and unique textures and grains at the forefront of natural stone flooring.
Playful Colors and Patterns
While neutral palettes will always be welcomed in interior design, 2024 will also see a return to maximalism and an embrace of playful colors and patterns in carpeting, area rugs, flooring, and elsewhere throughout the home. Colorful tile backsplashes and flooring combined with mismatched patterns in wallpaper, rugs, and curtains will be a huge trend throughout 2024 and beyond. Homeowners and interior designers will also turn to interesting textures and patterns for tile, hardwood, and laminate flooring such as herringbone, chevron, and basketweave.
Mosaic Tile
Mosaic tile is also making a comeback in 2024. Mosaic tile is another classic tile design that has been around for centuries. In the new year, homeowners will be bolder and more willing to play with colors, patterns, and designs to create unique, show-stopping mosaic tile designs that will become the showcase of the home. Mosaic tiles can work with modern homes as well as historic homes and homes that are embracing a retro or vintage home design aesthetic.
Retro Carpeting
Retro carpeting has already started coming back into style, but it will really take off throughout the next year and beyond. Carpet trends in 2024 will skew towards vintage and retro design aesthetics, colors, and materials with a modern twist. The best part is that vintage carpeting can complement almost any home decor, but it looks especially amazing in historic homes and alongside mid-century modern decor. Look for carpet designs inspired by patterns from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Easy Maintenance Flooring
For homeowners who have children or who are planning on starting a family, easy maintenance flooring is going to be a huge trend in the new year. Expect to see a huge increase in luxury vinyl flooring and laminate flooring in high-traffic areas like the living room, kitchen, and bathrooms. Luxury vinyl flooring has come a long way since it was first introduced, and it’s now available in a stunning array of colors, textures, and designs that mimic the appearance of natural stone or hardwood flooring. Best of all, it is low-maintenance, durable, and water and stain-resistant. Laminate flooring also mimics the appearance of natural hardwood flooring at a much lower cost. Laminate flooring is affordable, durable, and gorgeous and is also highly adaptable.
