Top 5 flooring trends to look out for in 2025
If upgrading your home is at the top of your New Year’s resolutions list, what better place to start than your flooring?
Your flooring – be it carpet, hardwood, or laminate – can make or break the look of your entire home, so the last thing you need is old, worn-out carpets and floors putting a dampener on the rest of your decor.
In this article, our experts at British Flooring explore five fabulous flooring trends set to take off in 2025 that are guaranteed to give your home a new lease of life.
1. Warm-toned woods
In 2025, we’re saying goodbye to bland, boring greys and embracing all the cosy, honey-toned woods.
Mid-toned browns and rich, earthy shades are making a comeback and with their subtle grains and matt finishes, they’re guaranteed to help you adopt the organic, understated feel that many modern homeowners want to achieve.
2. Contemporary parquet designs
Parquet floors have been being used in homes for centuries, but they’re set to make a bigger comeback than ever in 2025.
There are several different parquet styles to choose from,all of which add a touch of depth and sophistication to any home, but the most popular options, particularly in modern homes, include herringbone, chevron, and Versailles .
3. Eco-friendly materials
The shift towards sustainability and preserving the planet continues in 2025, and luckily for eco-conscious homeowners wanting to upgrade their flooring, there are plenty of options that align with their lifestyles and values.
Cork, bamboo, and engineered wood flooring are leading the way when it comes to eco-friendly flooring; offering a beautiful, guilt-free finish.
4. Back to basics
Many homeowners (particularly first-time buyers) looking to revive their properties on a tight budget are stripping back years’ worth of worn-out carpet and underlay to reveal beautifully preserved wooden floorboards.
From enhancing aesthetics and adding character to boosting the value of your home, there are many ways you can benefit from uncovering and showing off your floorboards, especially if they’re original to the building and hold historical value.
Restoring your old floorboards is also considered another eco-friendly option and won’t cost you as much to achieve a stunning, like-new look.
To restore your old floorboards, you’ll need:
- A floor sander
- An edging sander
- Vacuum cleaner
- Hammer
- Nails
- Wood filler
- Wood dye or varnish
- Spare floorboards (optional)
5. Luxury vinyl alternatives
Thanks to its advancements in style, durability, and customisation, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) continue to grow in popularity.
From bright colours and bold patterns to the recent expansion of realistic wood-look LVT, there’s something for everyone and you’re guaranteed to find something that fits in seamlessly with the rest of your home and decor.
LVT can also be used pretty much anywhere in the home, even in moisture-prone areas like the kitchen, bathroom, or utility space.
