We’ve compiled a list of the top summer flooring trends. We invite you to browse our blog below and let it serve as inspiration as you start your next home flooring project.
Here are the top summer flooring trends for 2022:
Ceramic & Porcelain Tile
Tile, both ceramic and porcelain, is perpetually popular in the summer months, especially if you are Florida-based, as Dolphin Carpet & Tile is. While the benefits of tile (water-resistant, lack of required maintenance, incredibly durable) are well known, the fact that only a basic broom sweeping is required to clean your tile flooring is crucial.
When it comes to tile flooring, we’re eyeing a few popular summer trends, including:
- You can also expect graphic and hexagonal tiles to continue their ascension in 2022. Ever popular, both types of tile give homeowners the ability to add some personality to their homes. We mentioned this in our top flooring trends for 2022 blog post a few months and expect the trend to hold.
- Mustard, pistachio, and aqua-colored tile flooring should continue to be very much in vogue
- Honeycomb patterned tiles should maintain relevance as a floor and shower option as well
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring continues to be a popular option for homeowners seeking affordability and beauty. Laminate flooring offers a great deal for homeowners, especially young ones, who want something stylish without breaking the bank, customizable, easy to maintain, and genuinely pleasing to look at.
We’re looking at the following as laminate flooring trends for the summer of 2022:
- Diagonal patterns in laminate should continue to be a sought-after look. These looks add depth to a home and can help make a room appear larger.
- Light wood laminate is also expected to soar in popularity. Providing the look of actual hardwood flooring but at a fraction of the cost, light wood laminate provides beauty for those on a budget.
- In general, darker laminate flooring colors are out this summer. Lighter, summery, and breezy looks are the general trend. The same is true for wide-plank flooring, which offers a luxurious and more open feel to your home.
Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Luxury vinyl is a stylish and modern flooring option that more and more homeowners are choosing these days. Low-maintenance, durable, water-proof, and typically scratch-resistant, luxury vinyl boasts several excellent benefits that have helped make it one of the most popular flooring options today. Renowned for its ability to mimic other more expensive materials like hardwood, luxury vinyl is a fantastic flooring option for your home.
Popular summer vinyl trends include:
- Wood and stone-look luxury vinyl will continue to thrive. Many will elect for lighter shades of wood and stone vinyl than in years passed.
- Whitewash and gray luxury vinyl is expected to ascend as homeowners seek brighter and more airy flooring colors to open up their homes.
- Herringbone and hexagonal luxury vinyl designs add complexity and character to a home and are therefore very popular in today’s market.
