What’s in Style: Top 5 Flooring Design Trends

Flooring trends in 2022 are very exciting. Material and manufacturing advances have created stunning laminate and luxury vinyl flooring options. New waterproof floor products are truly expanding your choices in bathrooms and other spaces where kids and pets are prone to leaving muddy footprints. Of course, traditional hardwood remains a timeless choice, but you might want to consider the flooring styles currently gaining momentum among Vancouver and Richmond homeowners.

1. Waterproof vinyl

Luxury vinyl planks have earned their place among discerning Vancouver flooring designers. Now, extra resilient finishes and water-resistant core materials have resulted in truly waterproof flooring. With waterproof vinyl, you get access to a wide range of colours and styles in a durable and nearly maintenance-free floor.

2. Patterned carpet

The neutral, solid carpet colours that have dominated interiors are giving way to bold patterns and colours. Carpet flooring stores now have dazzling samples to show you. Perhaps, this is a reaction to the stark uniformity of minimalism. Now, when people enter our carpet store in Richmond, they are looking to make a statement.

3. Wide planks

Just as clothing styles shift between narrow and wide profiles, floor planks come in different widths. Whether you're looking at laminate, vinyl, or hardwood, 2022 is all about wider planks. Wide planks appeal because they can give a room a greater sense of space. They also summon a historic aesthetic of floor planks being milled from large logs.

4. Hardwood laminate

Many people love the look of hardwood floors, but solid wood floors require a big upfront investment. Hardwood laminate presents a lovely alternative. Your home will pop with the traditional look of hardwood in any colour, plank width, or texture that you desire.

5. Rustic textures

Speaking of textures, you have more choice than ever before in textural looks from hardwood, laminate, or vinyl flooring. Rustic-looking textures make you think that the flooring was handmade a long time ago. From a design viewpoint, these textures that mimic old fashioned hand tooling add depth to a room and make the floor a focal point. This residential flooring style is very appropriate for farmhouse, lodges, and vacation cottages.
