By updating the flooring of your home, you can completely transform the look of the interior. Although standard hardwood, stone, and tile are popular options, manufacturers are applying new techniques to enhance the appearance of these materials. To decide what flooring style will complement your interior design, below is a look at three of this year’s most popular trends. 

3 Trends to Consider for Home Flooring

1. Fumed Wood Surfaces

Stains are often applied to hardwood flooring to alter the color and make the grain more pronounced. With fuming, wood is exposed to ammonia released in an enclosed chamber, which alters the pigment. The end results vary based on the wood species. Unlike with staining, fuming doesn’t provide a uniform finish. This is a good option if you want surfaces to match the shabby chic or rustic aesthetic of your space. 

2. Distressed Concrete Tiles

If you live in an industrial-style space, distressed concrete tiles mimic the look of the worn flooring you’d see in a warehouse. Machines are used to scuff and scrape the tiles. This removes the shiny patina finish and creates the illusion of surfaces taken directly from a worksite and transplanted in your home. 

3. Vintage, Black-and-White Tiles

When it comes to flooring installation, opting for black-and-white tiles is a simple way to add vintage flair to your modern home. Although the classic checkerboard pattern is still popular, homeowners are starting to think outside of the box, incorporating the color combination in attention-grabbing designs and busy mosaics patterns. Subway tile flooring is another favorite among new homeowners. Consider this option if you want to make the floor the main focal point in a room.
