We previously touched on the 2021 Flooring Trends, but we thought as Spring is in the air now is a great time to narrow the trends down and talk about the very best options in vinyl flooring. Eastman’s Carpet & Flooring has been a supporter of the vinyl flooring movement for quite some time now, but more and more homeowners are catching on. While as a whole it is trending for homes of all designs, there are some trends within this category deserve highlighting.
Wood Look Vinyl
Wood looks have been trendy for a while and with versatility in styles, this option will likely be popular for years to come. This year, more manufacturers are working to produce even more realistic and convincing wood looks that resemble top wood flooring options and textures.
Stone Look Vinyl
Move over traditional tile, modern technology has brought luxury vinyl tile (LVT) to the scene. Similar to wood-look vinyl, stone-look vinyl has been revamped to offer homeowners natural looking stone floors without the costly price tag of stone. Within the stone look vinyl types, we expect to continue to see marble, limestone, and slate to be at the top of homeowner’s inspiration lists.
Concrete Look Vinyl
If you are even remotely aware of any home & design fads, concrete seems to be having a moment. With its unique, industrial look, concrete offers a sleek, upscale, and modern look to homes and it can be cost effective. One great thing about opting for concrete look vinyl instead of actual concrete (aside from even greater cost efficiencies), vinyl is much softer on the feet and joints offering you and your guests more comfort.
Decorative or Patterned Vinyl
Last but not least and perhaps the boldest option in your vinyl choices is patterns and prints. While these have been on the rise for tile and carpet for the past few years, it’s natural for these design aspects to make their way to the vinyl space as well. Decorative and graphic elements such as parquet patterns, trellis designs, or geometric motifs, are being used more and more. This type of vinyl is being utilized in kitchens and bathrooms especially as it is a cool, creative way to liven up those spaces in your home.
