Though flooring trends have more subtle changes than paint colors or accessories, they do still happen. Every year we see a bit of a change in what is popular for both residential and commercial flooring. Before looking at the 2022 flooring trends, let’s review a few aspects of a flooring remodel that you’ll need to consider.
2022 Flooring Trends

Style

If you’re just replacing the flooring, make sure it fits with the current style of the rest of your home. For example, if you like a mid-century modern style you might consider a tile floor instead of a dark wood-look flooring.

Space

Know the dimensions of the space you’re re-flooring.

Easy of Use/Practicality

Make sure the flooring fits the space. A waterproof floor is going to be a better option for a kitchen or bathroom, while carpet can work great in a bedroom or living area.

Maintenance

Easy-to-care-for floors are crucial for those high traffic areas of your home or office.

Budget

Obviously your budget will play a large role in what type of flooring you choose, no matter what the flooring trends for 2022 are.

Installation

If you plan to install the floors yourself you will absolutely need to keep in mind the work involved there.

2022 Flooring Trends

Laminate is high on the list of trends for this year. Aged and white washed looks in particular are having their moment in the sun.  Laminate in a herringbone or diagonal pattern is popular this year.  These patterns can make a space feel bigger while also adding a bit of sophistication.
