With design of any kind, what goes around generally comes around—and flooring trends are no exception. In line with the fashion world’s current redux of the ’90s and Y2K, certain choices that were previously assumed a little passé are making a triumphant return. From wall-to-wall carpeting to a discerning touch of vinyl, here are the flooring trends that are top of mind for designers right now.
Sleek concrete floors throughout a home have long been seen as a minimalist’s dream, and they remain stalwart in many projects. “When ground and polished, natural concrete exhibits variation and texture and a level of durability that can’t be beat,” Grant Kirkpatrick of KAA Design Group says.
Yet some designers have seen them wane in popularity in certain markets. “People are wanting more personalization and personality, and you just don’t get that with concrete flooring,” Miami-based interior designer Travis London says. So, what’s a concrete-averse minimalist to do?
“At the moment, clients are requesting marble—not in white, but in black,” London says. “It fits with the aesthetic in Miami,” where real estate is booming, “and creates a nice clean background, and the cleanliness is what I think they’re gravitating to.”
While carpet isn’t the top choice for everyone, those who count themselves as acolytes are embracing it with abandon (case in point: CeCe Barfield Thompson’s fairytale-ready design for the Hill House Home offices).
