Top 5 Most Popular Types of Flooring in 2017

December 8, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

When you want to update the look of your home, new flooring can be a great way to give it a stylish upgrade. In addition to increasing visual appeal, adding new flooring is one of the best home improvements for boosting the value of your property as well.

In order to make the most of a floor redo, it’s important to be up-to-date on home design trends. You want to incorporate popular flooring that will give your home a modern look. You also want to be sure that you’re installing flooring that will also be able to withstand the normal wear and tear of everyday life.

Below, we’re reviewing the top flooring trends of 2017. Read on to learn everything you need to know when planning to install new floors.

1. Hardwood Floors

For a long time, hardwood has been considered the most popular flooring material, and there are no signs that the trend is slowing down. In fact, many other flooring surfaces are now being manufactured to mimic the look of hardwood.

Hardwood flooring provides a great mix of classic and custom. The look of hardwood is timeless, but by sanding it, refinishing it, and customizing the plank size, you can make it your own.

2. Sustainable Materials

Sustainability and environmentally-friendly practices are becoming more popular in every industry, and home improvement is no exception.

If you’re considering redoing your floors in anticipation of putting your home on the market or improving its resell value, you may want to consider sustainable floors. New and first-time home buyers, particularly millennials, prioritize sustainability and may be more likely to consider a home that reflects that value.

3. Industrial Look

A sparse, industrial look has become a popular trend for restaurant and building design, so it was only a matter of time before the home design industry took notice. Incorporating this trend into your home with flooring will create a clean aesthetic. As a result, you’ll have lots of opportunities to make your furniture and other decor stand out.

4. Gray Flooring

Regardless of the material—tile, carpet, hardwood, etc.—gray is becoming a popular color for flooring. Gray balances a lot of elements that homeowners look for when trying to stay up-to-date on design trends. Here are a few reasons:

  • It’s neutral enough to let other colors stand out, but it’s more interesting than white or tan.
  • It’s new enough to be trendy, but classic enough that it won’t date a home.
  • It’s not too overwhelming or too boring, and it makes sense as a background color to build a room around.

5. Custom Designed Flooring

The best way to incorporate your personal design aesthetic into a flooring remodel is with custom flooring. A unique design in hardwood looks impressive and sets the tone for a house that is specific to your taste and style. Custom carpeting throughout your home can achieve the same effect.

The internet and social media make it easier to share pictures of your remodel. That’s why custom designs are a great choice for when you really want to draw attention to the hard work you’ve done to improve your home.
