7 flooring trends you're about to see everywhere
When it comes to interiors, flooring is the foundation—quite literally. Staying ahead of the latest flooring trends can give your home that coveted designer edge, and the right choice can anchor your space, add personality, and even make your rooms feel bigger and brighter.
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for innovative, beautiful, and practical flooring ideas. We’ve rounded up seven key flooring styles set to make waves this year.
1. Warm woods
Goodbye grey floors because 2025 is all about warm, honey-toned woods that bring a sense of comfort and cosiness to both traditional and modern spaces. Think warm oak, subtle grains, and matt finishes that feel organic and understated.
'While lighter-toned, whitewashed oak remains a staple, we're seeing a resurgence of mid-tone browns and rich, earthy shades,' says Ian Tomlinson, managing director of Chaunceys Timber Flooring. 'Homeowners are looking to create interiors that feel cosy, grounded and connected to nature. Warm-toned woods help to create this atmosphere and their timeless appeal reflects a return to classic, enduring design.'
2. Botanical and floral designs
Make a statement underfoot with bold patterns that double as works of art. Expect to see striking botanicals, oversized floral motifs, and playful colour combinations that feel bold, fresh and contemporary.
'Botanical designs have been a recurrent feature of interiors recently, with their floral prints marking a vibrant contrast to white, modern interiors,' says Jodie Hatton, design manager at heritage carpet company Brintons. 'Mention floral carpet and there can be a tendency to imagine outdated 70s styles but florals don’t have to be chintzy, they can also be dark and dramatic or carefully elegant. "Floral" is an incredibly diverse design term, from bright and bold to small and subtle, floral carpet can be an inspired way to introduce patterns into your home.'

3. Parquet flooring with a contemporary edge
Parquet is a timeless flooring choice due to its traditional and characterful design features. Adding visual interest and sophistication to any space, it fits in well with both contemporary and period properties alike.
'We’re noticing an exciting shift towards eclectic geometric patterns and larger-format designs,' notes Ian. 'Parquet styles like herringbone, chevron and Versailles offer sophistication and visual depth and we’re also being asked to create bespoke patterns. These custom designs really make a unique statement in a home.'

4. Sustainable and recycled materials
Eco-conscious living extends to flooring, with many now seeking sustainable options. Cork, bamboo and engineered wood are leading the way, offering beautiful finishes with a guilt-free twist.
'Sustainable engineered wood flooring is the perfect balance of durability and environmental responsibility,' says Ian. 'These floors not only provide excellent resistance to natural expansion and contraction caused by heat and moisture, they are also compatible with underfloor heating, which is becoming increasingly popular in modern homes. By choosing this type of flooring, homeowners can create a stylish, sustainable floor that will stand the test of time and a home that supports the wellbeing of both their family and the environment.'
Introducing sustainable products into the home often means looking beyond the aesthetics. Bonus points if you choose suppliers who focus on low-waste production and ethical sourcing.
Alternative Flooring has launched its most innovative, sustainable flooring yet, the Anywhere Ca-rPET collection – yarn crafted from recycled plastic bottles that mimics the luxurious look of sisal while delivering the softness of wool, and it can be used indoors and outdoors.
Meanwhile, Schotten & Hansen, experts on regenerable wooden flooring and surfaces, has introduced its Graincut Empire concentric block flooring collection. Offering an alternative to the commonly used wide plank and parquet-style flooring, Graincut Empire is crafted from ash wood sawn horizontally across the trunk; the cut surface displays the tree’s circular annual rings.
This cut of wood is not yet widely used as a floor surface in commercial and residential markets, but it has traditionally been used in workshops for many years. It has a natural resilience and noise-absorbing qualities, and the open-pored surface promotes a healthy indoor climate, plus the process promotes resourcefulness of using all the tree when it is sawn this way.
'Beyond the finished product, it’s important to consider key factors, such as where the materials are sourced, the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process and whether the company’s values align with your commitment to sustainability,' notes David Mudd, co-founder of Knot & Grain. 'It’s always worth considering that what you don’t see is just as important.'

5. Textural cut and loop carpets
Cut and loop pile carpets are on the rise. Known for their unique blend of alternating pile heights and intricate patterns, these carpets are redefining the boundaries of modern interior design – it's something interior designers are increasingly turning to to enhance their high-end projects, adding depth, interest, and dimension to luxurious spaces.
'We have seen a significant increase in demand for textural cut and loop carpet designs,' says Jodie. 'The varying textures and pile heights of carpets introduce a dynamic play of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and aesthetic impact.'
6. Extra wide, extra long planks
Scale is also a big flooring trend for 2025. With the desire for more spacious and luxurious interiors, extra wide, extra long planks are on the rise. It can make a room look larger, all while allowing for the full beauty of the flooring to shine, and contribute to an elegant, streamlined look, reducing the number of seams and creating a clean, continuous flow.
'Larger planks work beautifully in open-plan living areas, where they help unify the space, but they’re also an excellent choice for smaller rooms where they add depth and prevent visual clutter,' explains Ian. 'By making such a bold design choice, homeowners can enjoy a high-end look that elevates the overall interior.'
7. LVT's all-round appeal
What's the flooring of choice for 2025? LVT, known as luxury vinyl tile, is a budget-friendly option that mimics high-end materials like marble and terrazzo, and all without the hefty price tag. 'Laminate and luxury vinyl tile remain popular choices for flooring, particularly in designs that replicate the warmth and texture of natural wood,' says Johanna Constantinou, interior trend expert at Tapi.
Durable and easy to maintain, LVT is perfect for busy households, and it’s available in a range of on-trend finishes (and colours) that look deceptively expensive. It's ideal for children's rooms, utility areas, and spaces where you're looking to inject some personality.
'LVT flooring offers a winning combination of affordability, elegance, and practicality. It allows homeowners to achieve the look of high-end materials without the associated costs and maintenance challenges. Whether you're renovating your entire home or just updating a single room, LVT flooring provides a stylish and durable solution that can enhance any space,' says Claire Ryan, PR & digital manager at Karndean Designflooring.
'LVT is also a great choice for high-moisture rooms, such as kitchens or bathrooms, as it doesn’t have the same warping risks as more natural materials,' adds Liam Cleverdon, flooring expert at Flooring King.
