Your choice of flooring is close to one of the most important decisions you will have to make when it comes to building or renovating your home. The perfect floor must be durable, practical, stylish, as well timeless, because you do not want to replace a floor every couple of years.
Luckily, manufacturing techniques have been developing at such a rate that there is a seemingly endless supply of flooring solutions for just about every need and taste. These four types of flooring are currently in high demand – both for their aesthetic appeal and exceptional functional benefits:
Carpets
While hard-surface flooring is highly popular right now, carpets are rightfully becoming a statement again. It is the go-to option for bedrooms because of its warmth and comfort. It is also a top choice for stairs, as it provides a safer environment and looks great. Interestingly, it is increasingly trendy to use carpets in the entryway, as it sets the tone for the house.
With more colours, designs and textures available than ever before, carpets are once again an assertion of style and luxury. Specifically, the trend is favouring softer carpeting that lends a feeling of lushness to the room.
Laminates
The trend towards wood flooring is still growing very strongly, with cooler colours like grey and brown without any traces of yellow or red undertones currently taking preference. Quality laminates have made it possible to enjoy the authentic look of real wood at a fraction of the cost of a traditional hardwood floor, and with a number of added benefits. It is fade-, scratch- and impact-resistant, and very easy to clean and maintain. This makes it a popular choice of kitchens and living areas, especially open-plan environments where owners want to create a sense of unity.
Luxury Vinyl Planks
Vinyl flooring is back in a big way and better than ever. Yet again, wood is the popular visual. With its photo-realistic imagery, luxury vinyl planks can replicate the look down to the finest detail. In fact, anything that you can take a photo of can be duplicated as a vinyl plank or tile, such as marble or intricate patterns. This makes vinyl a great solution for bold and modern homes, where it can be used as a statement piece within the right environment.
Seamless Stone
This innovative alternative flooring is taking the industry by storm and is an increasingly popular choice for luxury homes that feature lots of open space. Because of its absolute seamless nature, it forms a natural continuity and flow through the space. The absence of breaks and joints creates a feeling of endlessness, spaciousness and simplicity. This flooring can be used both indoors and outdoors, and is non-slip, durable and easy to clean.
