The Top Trends In Flooring For 2022
With each passing year, we bring new resolutions, goals, and approaches to living. We also welcome new styles, trends, and fads. These are essential elements of life, things that happen every year whether we like it or not.
January and February are months wherein we collectively assess the previous year while simultaneously deciding on what we will make of the new one. The great Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “the only constant is change.” Whether you’re talking about popular culture, personal lives, or even the flooring industry, this is an invariably true statement.
With February now in full swing, the team at Dolphin Carpet & Tile is looking ahead to the trends, styles, and crazes that we expect to overtake the flooring industry in 2022 and possibly beyond.
Hardwood Flooring
One flooring option that never seems to go out of style, hardwood flooring, will remain a popular option in 2022 thanks to a myriad of reasons. Chief among them: it can last for decades and is all but sure to add value to any home.
When it comes to specific hardwood trends in 2022, we expect reclaimed hardwood to remain popular as it promotes green-living and is one of the most eco-friendly flooring options on the market.
Patterned, multi-colored, and bleached hardwood should also see an uptick in 2022 as more and more homeowners seek to put a modern spin on the classic hardwood look. All three of these options allow for customization in hardwood and add depth and personality to a home.
Laminate Flooring
As more and more young professionals purchase homes, the popularity of laminate flooring continues to skyrocket. Why? Because laminate flooring is an inexpensive and easy-to-install flooring option that adds immediate style and class to any home.
When it comes to laminate patterns and styles, expect the herringbone design to remain in vogue, along with other diagonal patterns. These patterns add a sense of style and complexity to any home and are relatively easy to do independently.
We also look for whitewashed laminate flooring to gain prominence over the darker, more muted colors.
Tile Flooring
When it comes to tile flooring in 2022, we expect trends from 2021, like black and white stylings, to continue to be popular while others slowly gain momentum.
One such tile option that we view as on the rise is concrete tiles. Offering both durability and that aged look that remains popular, concrete tile may cost a bit more upfront than other options but is all but guaranteed to withstand the test of time.
You can also expect graphic and hexagonal tiles to continue their ascension in 2022. Ever popular, both types of tile provide homeowners with the ability to add some personality to their home.
Tile also offers nearly limitless DIY opportunities, which will be an attractive proposition for handy young homeowners looking to trade out their existing flooring for something new.
Stone Flooring
We expect there to be a surge in natural stone flooring in 2022. A cost-efficient material when one considers how long it lasts and low maintenance flooring option, natural stone has gained prominence year over year due to its eco-friendly nature and overall durability.
Natural stone is a desirable flooring option that can be cut for various patterns and decorations. You can also combine several different types of natural stone to achieve the desired look. Also contributing to its popularity is that you can install stone in virtually every room inside a home.
The Best Flooring For You In 2022
In the end, trends are just that: trends. When you select the flooring option that makes the most sense for you and your home, that choice is all but sure to never go out of style. Whether you opt for hardwood, laminate, tile, stone, or something else, you really can’t go wrong with new flooring in your home.
