April 25, 2022

Making the choice to install new flooring in your home is exciting — and sometimes overwhelming! There are so many options when it comes to styles, materials and colors that the decision fatigue can set in quickly. One of the many perks of working with a floor installation team that values customer service is that your flooring team can help you understand the implications and details of your many options! And don't be afraid to try these trending floor styles in Chicago, IL!

Patterned Wood

Wood flooring alone presents its own slew of options when it comes to materials! Though classic hardwood floors are still an option, many households are now opting for materials that look like wood, but are truly more durable and often more sustainably sourced. For example, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and parquet flooring are both tougher and more customizable material options. Whether you opt for real hardwood flooring or a material that simply looks like hardwood such as LVP, choosing a unique pattern is the latest trend.

Instead of simple and uniform straight rows following the lines of each room, in 2022 the trendiest homes contain wood flooring with new and fresh designs and a mix of stain choices. Herringbone and chevron patterns are among the most stylish this year!

Gray Stone

Nothing screams “modern” like a warm, rich gray throughout the interior of your home. Laying large slabs or tiles of gray stone can not only open the door to sustainable material sourcing but also elevate the appearance of spaces like bathrooms, entryways, dining areas and laundry rooms.

The sleek appearance of the right gray stone can help bring out the other interior decorating choices throughout the home. Plus, stone slabs can be cut in customizable sizes and shapes to create an overall pattern that’s entirely unique to your home.

Colorful Tiles

For spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, tiles that make a statement through bold color are the latest trend. No more holding back: the brighter the better!

Many French-inspired kitchens contain patterned tiles in golden or navy hues, and bathrooms gain a new liveliness with tile choices like checkered teal patterns. While monochrome may have had its time, the era of color has arrived!
