2025 is the year of warmth, texture and statement‑making hues. If you're considering a flooring refresh, these colour trends will ensure your home feels current and timeless.
Goodbye Greys, Hello Warm Woods
Cool grey wood tones dominated the past decade, but designers are now gravitating toward warmer hues. Mohawk's senior design director explains that light natural tones and warmer colors are replacing greys and dark shades. Think honey oaks, chestnut browns and caramel maples. These finishes make spaces feel inviting and pair beautifully with earthy wall colours and greenery.
Bold Accent Floors
Solid‑colour luxury vinyl and patterned tiles in emerald green, deep navy and terracotta orange are gaining traction. These bold accents work well in powder rooms, foyers or laundry spaces where you want to make a visual statement without overwhelming the entire home. Balance vibrant floors with neutral walls and cabinetry.
Pattern Play: Chevron & Checkerboard
Colour is only half the story. Geometric patterns like chevron and checkerboard add movement and character. House Beautiful reports that herringbone and chevron layouts are showing up in hardwood and luxury vinyl installations, while classic black‑and‑white checkerboard tiles are making a comeback in kitchens and entryways.
Mixing Materials & Tones
Pairing two or three flooring materials—such as warm hardwood in the living room, patterned tile in the kitchen and soft carpet in the bedrooms—creates visual interest and delineates zones. To keep a cohesive aesthetic, limit yourself to a single colour family (like warm neutrals) and vary textures instead of hues.
