Sustainable Floors

Well-suited to: Living Room, Hallway and Kitchen*

*As with any flooring instalment for a room with plenty of moisture, it’s important that the flooring type being added to a kitchen is suitable, including having the right water-resistance levels.

For starters, sustainable flooring is a trend growing in popularity nowadays. Along with being better for the Earth and enabling you to lower your carbon footprint, sustainable floors often provide increased durability and longevity.

They are also often low maintenance and less likely to come with health hazards (e.g. Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs that unsustainable materials often produce).

They may also have the potential to persist on the market for longer if less sustainable and environmentally harmful alternatives are phased out or even just become harder to find in the years ahead.

Some of the top sustainable floor options are:

• Bamboo floors
• Laminate flooring
• Cork flooring
• Ceramic tiles
• Linoleum wood flooring

Opt for Geometric Pattern Flooring

Well-suited to: Kitchens, Halls and Bathrooms

Geometric patterned floors continue to trend into 2024 with the likes of Herringbone, Chevron, Hexagonal, Square, Parquet, Chequerboard and Triangular.

Among the benefits of geometric pattern flooring include the potential to make a space feel larger while introducing an intricate, sophisticated and visually striking aesthetic. Geometric patterns can be found with a range of floor types including hardwood flooring, natural stone tiles and laminate flooring.

Dark Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)

Well-suited to: Bathrooms and Kitchens

Luxury Vinyl Tiles or LVTs are vinyl tile products that come with many layers including a rigid layer at its core. The design of LVTs is to increase durability, ease of maintenance and longevity.

LVTs with dark hues are trending in the 2020s as are various other dark toned flooring options (e.g. Dark Engineered Wood Flooring). Sophisticated LVT in dark tones (e.g. beige, brown and black) can have a dramatic and inspiring impact on your home.

Light Hue Big Stone Tiles

Well-suited to: Kitchens and Bathrooms

On the other hand, light tones can work well in other cases and ultimately what gradients will best fit your home in general will depend on your preferences and other factors.

One current trend to consider is that of large light hue stone tiles. As opposed to small stone tiles, large tiles can offer a minimalist and stylish look and feel and going with light shades (e.g. cream, white and taupe) can offer a soothing, unassuming and cool aesthetic.

Warm Wood Flooring

Well-suited to: Bedrooms, Hallways and Living Rooms

Warm wood flooring refers to that which features warm undertones including warm reds, warm yellows or/and warm oranges.

Among the many advantages of warm wood flooring include it being a timeless aesthetic, the soothing and cosy look and feel offered and the ability to better reflect natural light which can help brighten up the room.

Warm wood floors may work visually with neutral colours to contrast (e.g. a cream painted wall), metallic accents and Earthy shades such as with decorations, an area rug or other types of furniture.

Water-resistant Laminate Flooring

Well-suited to: Living Room, Kitchen, Bathroom and Converted Loft*

*As with any flooring being added to a converted attic space, you’ll need to hire a professional as extra care must be taken to ensure a floor chosen is suitable and safely installed in a secure way.

Laminate flooring is a durable, relatively eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing option along with being a more cost-effective alternative to real wood flooring.

Opting for laminate flooring with substantial water-resistant qualities is a great way of providing a new floor that can resist spills and moisture whether in a living room space, kitchen or elsewhere.

Natural Engineered Oak Floors

Well-suited to: Living Room and Hallway

Another flooring trend in 2024 that you may want to take into account is that of natural engineered oak flooring.

Along with being a durable choice, natural engineered oak flooring is a great way of adding a fancy, sophisticated look to your home that is neither overwhelming nor too understated. It arguably strikes a great balance, making it well suited to many homes.
