2021 Flooring Influences

There are a number of factors influencing design trends this year, but Covid has presented as a unique factor in dictating this year’s trends. For example, neutral tones and natural materials will be making a comeback because they provide a sense of comfort and security. Another flooring trend that will be popular is bold grain patterned hardwood floors. These bold grain patterns are great for showcasing the natural beauty of hardwood and can be the highlight of a room. The pandemic has also made cleanliness a topic of discussion, meaning people will be more likely to move away from carpet due to it trapping more dust and allergens. Hardwood and LVP are easy to maintain and clean, some LVP manufacturers, like Mannington Mills, are even creating products with antimicrobial surfaces for additional protection against germs. Products like this are likely to be popular in both residential and commercial spaces with so many benefits.
