What can we expect from home flooring designs in 2020?

So… what can we expect from the new year in terms of excitement in the flooring industry? Well, as we all look at redesigning ourselves as well as our homes, there are some things that make us at Flooring Direct sit up and take note when looking forward to new flooring designs and methods in the new year.

With the year (and decade) rolling towards an end, flooring experts have taken a look at what customers looking to redevelop their homes and offices can expect for flooring designs, industry categories and what brand new flooring products could be on the horizon…

1. Durability and Performance will always be the most important

Performance and durability are now one of the first things that consumers and customers will look for when choosing the best flooring for them. There has been a big shift in the flooring industry, according to Flooring America, which has seen performance become the standard for the majority of flooring purchases.

With families becoming generally bigger in size and people living longer, customers are looking for floors which are durable. The amount of traffic going through houses and on carpets is naturally increasing, and so durability is important. It will be interesting to see which flooring styles follow this trend. Will we see manufacturers making carpet, vinyl and wooden floors more durable?

2. Vinyl flooring is currently the front runner

Luxury vinyl flooring is expected to be the most popular flooring choice for customers as 2020 comes around. This is down to many factors in the flooring industry, but mainly its durability as we mentioned, but also its ability and adaptability. Wooden flooring looks are increasingly popular and this is why vinyl has seen an increase in popularity. According to Flooring America, customers seem to be driving away from Carpet tends and into the arms of Vinyl flooring. It will be interesting to keep an eye on this.

3. It is still important to choose Waterproof flooring

Interestingly. it is predicted that 2020 will see the continued rise of waterproof hardwood floors. This type of flooring was seen to make a real impact in the flooring industry and sent shockwaves through the industry. Unsurprisingly, customers, both residential and commercially are in love with the new designs. People can see no end in sight for the rising popularity of this game-changing and revolutionary design for the hardwood categories.

4. We will see more colourful customer choices

Orange is the new black. Okay, not quite orange, but brighter colours are becoming more popular when it comes to customer trends. Whether it be colourful carpets, ceramic tiles, Vinyl flooring or any other options, the future looks bright in 2020. Luxury Vinyl flooring with a colourful twist is going to be increasingly popular…
