2020 TOP TRENDS FOR FLOORING DESIGN
Flooring trends have a tendency to change throughout the years as homeowners acquire new desires and manufactures continue to expand on the variety of flooring designs for their remodeling project. In the past few years, natural earth tones were popular with homeowners. Flooring finishes ranging from ebony to driftwood also ended up being very popular color selections. Tiles that look like wood were especially in style since about 2018. 2020 is no doubt expected to expose new and exciting home remodeling trends for the kitchen or bath.
Bleached Wood Flooring
Not everyone prefers glossy brown stains which we see on most modern wooden floors. For some home owners, a softer white-washed look of a bleached floor is more preferred. Bleached wood flooring consists of wood that typically has undergone a bleaching process, also referred to in the market as blanching. This involves applying a special product on wood to remove the artificial dye or stain on the wood. This process provides the wood an ashy white-wash appearance.
When planning a renovation which includes flooring, be sure you consult with your contractor which option is better for you;
- bleaching your current wood flooring or
- replacing it with ready-made blanched flooring.
Trying to give your current wood flooring the bleached appearance can be expensive and difficult work. This bleached and blanched trend is going to be especially popular in the year 2020.
Distressed Wood & Concrete Tile Flooring
Distressed floor style is not new, but has become even more popular over the past few years. In 2020, we believe we will see more homeowners select a high-end and aged look for flooring.
Distressed flooring is put through a process which artificial ages and styles the product to provide a worn finish on new materials. This process seems to be best in spaces where a beautiful rustic look is the goal of the homeowner.
In 2020, homeowners also expected to procure distressed concrete flooring. Distressed concrete floor style has and will continue to receive more attention as homeowners look for alternative looks and feels for interior home decor. Distressed concrete also undergoes a artificial processes to achieve the desired look and feel of the final flooring product.
Pattern Layouts with Wood Flooring
Most of us have been exposed to a basic side by side layout of wood pieces laid on a floor. However, a new trend we anticipate seeing more of in 2020 will be patterned wood layouts. Imagine a Chevron or Herringbone pattern designs in your new kitchen, bathroom or other room being remodeled this year. Patterned floors are here to stay for the foreseeable future so the ROI will be worth the extra cost for labor.
Old School Black & White
They say everything always come back into style. In 2020, black and white floor tiles are becoming popular again. BOLD, graphic, and luxurious tiles are the new spin though. If you are looking for a unique twist to black and white flooring style this new trend perfectly blends vintage with contemporary for the perfect look and feel.
