TOP FLOORING OPTIONS FOR 2020

Flooring trends keep changing throughout the years as homeowners obtain new tastes and also technology enables a greater variety of flooring designs. Flooring finishes varying from ebony to driftwood became very famous in recent years. Few unique trends that had picked up are allowing flooring imperfections such as the mineral streaks and knots to create a natural look. It was also a significant year for faux flooring. Tiles that resemble wood were, particularly, in trend. 2020 is expected to bring with it the latest and exciting trends.

Trend #1. Fumed Wood Flooring – Stronger Color & Grain

Fuming provides the wood rich dark tones and improves the natural grain of the wood. The final look is much more luxurious when compared to stain wood flooring. Using liquid ammonia on the wood risks damaging the fiber and could reduce its structure. To maintain expectations and safety concerns–do lots of research if you are planning to use fumed wood flooring.

Trend #2. Bleached & Blanched Woods

Bleaching your current wood flooring or replacing it with ready-made blanched flooring will never fail to give your current wood flooring the bleached look which is often expensive and tedious work.  The 2020 bleached and blanched trend is continuing to be very popular. Although we expect this trend will transform all styles of homes since it is so breathtaking.

Trend #3. Distressed Wood & Concrete Tiles

The distressed floor style has been around for quite a while but has become even more popular just recently. Next year, expect to see more homeowners choose for that luxury aged look in their flooring. Distressed flooring undergoes artificial aging and styling methods that provide it a slightly worn finish. Distressed concrete flooring can be integrated into most types of decors but works best in industrial and contemporary home styles.

Trend #4. Wood Flooring Laid Out In Pretty Patterns

All of us are very much familiar with the basic side by side format of wood pieces laid on a floor –a description that usually relegates them to practical rather than decorative methods. But if you have been considering combining a unique twist to one of the spaces in your house, you can now add patterned wood layouts back to your list of stylish flooring options. 2020 brings with it a new look. Specifically, we are seeing an increase of Chevron or Herringbone-pattern designs in homeowner’s kitchens, bathrooms and more. Patterned floors are officially here, and you should not miss out.

Trend #5. Vintage Black & White

Vintage has always been about bringing back the warmth and memories of decades past. In 2020, black and white tiles are earning a strong comeback. It’s not the same old black and white tiles that enhance historic homes. Alternatively, it’s bold, graphic, and more luxurious.  More and more homeowners need a unique twist to the vintage flooring style. This incorporates smaller tiles with bolder graphic patterns. This absolutely blends vintage with contemporary for the perfect look and feel.

The general feeling moving into 2020 is that no one is convinced anymore with traditional materials. Homeowners need flooring materials that have been given proper treatment to make them unique in design and texture. Whether it is fumed wood, blanched flooring, textured tile or wood resembling tiles; buyers are looking for fresh and exciting choices. Fortunately, 2020 addresses quality, variety, style and it is not going to disappoint anyone.
