The flooring trends that will be popular in 2024

2024 Flooring Ideas and Trends

Natural Colours and Textures

Flooring which has the look and feel of natural materials continues to be popular in 2024. You don't have to break the bank for this look either with cost-effective options such as luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or laminate flooring mimicking wooden planks and stone tiles. 

As well as its versatility laminate flooring costs mean that it is an option for most people even those on a tight budget. LVT is also a popular choice if you want to keep costs down. 

Herringbone and Chevron Patterns

A flooring style that will never go out of fashion is herringbone and chevron patterns such as those used in parquet flooring. Modern trends tend to look for cleaner planks making up this style, this typically means fewer knots and less colour variation in the material. 

Herringbone floors come in all types of materials including tiles, timber and laminate offering a range of shades and finishes for any room in your home. 

Wider Wooden Planks

Bolder designs are also trending for 2024 with wider wooden planks delivering a strong look, particularly with wall-to-wall flooring. This means there are no end joints visible and it produces a seamless, clean look for the room. 

The bigger boards create the effect of a larger space and coupled with light shades this can open up a space visually. This look is available in solid wood flooring, engineered flooring and LVT. 

Antique Shades

Rustic wooden flooring will always be popular and antique shades are a classic in this style. This type of flooring delivers the best look in solid timber and engineered wooden flooring and the rich tones offer a feeling of elegance, warmth and tradition. 

You can achieve a similar look with a less expensive option in laminate flooring, or luxury vinyl tiles if your budget is small but you like this style. These materials have the benefit of being easier to keep clean and maintain than solid wood or engineered wooden flooring. 

Large Floor Tiles

Another trend for 2024 is large stone tiles. Like the wider wooden planks, this type of flooring gives the illusion of a much more spacious room especially when used in cool tones. This is the perfect flooring for a minimalist look in your home. 

These oversized tiles look great when used in an open plan kitchen-diner which extends out onto a patio laid in a matching tile. It makes the indoors flow seamlessly into the outdoors particularly when coupled with bifold doors. Porcelain tiles work equally well both inside and outside and so is the ideal material for this style of flooring.
