The Top Trends In Flooring for 2023

In the words of John Lennon in his famed song Happy Xmas, “Another year over, and a new one just begun.” And with our calendars now turned to January, the statement could not be more accurate. It’s officially 2023, and with that comes a new year, new goals, and perhaps new trends in flooring. 

So yes, with the new year upon us, the Dolphin Carpet & Tile team is looking ahead to the styles and trends that we expect to be most pervasive in 2023. Whether you’re in the market for new flooring or just interested in forecasting where the trends are headed, you can find out more in this fantastic blog.  

Hardwood Flooring

At Dolphin Carpet & Tile, we expect 2023 to bring about a return to the classic dark hardwood look of decades past. This muted and more stately look brings about thoughts of studies, libraries, and dens of the mid-1900s. 

With the darker hardwood color, too, should come larger hardwood planks. Combining the two will help create a vintage look with clean lines and a lack of maintenance. Hardwood floors never go out of style, so we expect them to remain very much in vogue for 2023. 

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Luxury vinyl’s faux hardwood and stone looks should continue their upward trend in 2023 as more and more homeowners seek the look of these materials at a much lower price. Much like hardwood floors, larger planks that offer bold and clear lines should also sustain popularity. 

In the hardwood mold, dark brown and gray luxury vinyl floors will undoubtedly remain popular well into this year. 

Tile Flooring

Regarding tile, we expect the eclectic mix-and-match look to continue to reign supreme. This highly customizable tile look allows homeowners to select the colors, patterns, and designs they like most and then combine them in one cohesive design that showcases the homeowner’s personality and preferred design aesthetics. 

When it comes to colors, we expect vibrant looks to continue their ascension. Florals and lighter shades of blue are expected to pop as well. 

Carpet Flooring

Carpet is always a popular flooring choice, and we don’t expect this year to be any different. Shaggier styles of the 70s and 80s will remain in the public consciousness this year, much as they did in 2022. Thick strand carpeting that promotes comfort underfoot while providing a retro look will be the sought-after carpet look of the year. 

Regardless of what the top trends and styles are in a given year, the best flooring for you is the one that suits your needs. So whether that’s carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, or even an area rug, the team at Dolphin Carpet & Tile has your back.
