Top Flooring Trends for 2025: What’s In and What’s Out
With a brand new year comes exciting home upgrades and beautiful, fresh trends in interior design.
Staying ahead of the latest trends can help you modernise your home and transform it into a completely different space for 2025. You no longer have to settle for bland wooden floorboards and the same overused ideas.
This guide is the perfect opportunity to find something that you love and breathe life and personality back into your home. Luckily, this year is looking to be a great year for practical, stylish, and inviting flooring designs, so you’re in good hands!
We’re talking vintage terrazzo, reclaimed materials, and large-format tiles—so don’t go anywhere! (why not browse our laminate flooring while you’re here?)
1. The Return of Warm Woods
Gone are the days of light wooden floorboards that can wash out your home if you’re not careful.
Instead, warm wood is bringing back that homely, cosy feel, which looks beautiful when contrasted with muted colour decor. To make the dark brown really pop, pair it with beige cabinets, light green furnishings, or lighter wood accessories.
Walnut and honey oak are becoming homeowner favourites in 2025, transitioning out of the space grey craze. Opt for subtle grains and matte finishes for an organic feel.
2. Geometric Patterns Take Centre Stage
Is your home missing a quirky touch? Adding geometric flooring can bring so much depth and dimension to any room in the home.
This is particularly favoured for small rooms like hallways or bedrooms, making the space feel more expansive by adding visual interest. Geometric designs can mean anything from a staple herringbone pattern to a dynamic chevron look.
Don’t be afraid to make a bold statement with your flooring! It might just bring out the personality in your home that you’ve been desperately searching for.

3. Botanical and Floral Accents
Is that the sound of the forest calling? Nature-inspired patterns and interiors that reflect the wild beauty of the outdoors are a great way to feel connected to the outside while safe and warm in your home.
It’s not just all about the floorboards—botanical carpets and rugs can add a fun and playful touch, bringing a fresh feel to your home. What better way to welcome in the new year than with a lush and vibrant floral rug?
A colourful pattern can contrast beautifully with white walls or light brown accents, adding a 70’s feel. You can choose between bright and bold flowers to small, leafy designs, depending on whether you prefer dainty and elegant or dark and daring.
4. Large Format Tiles for an Eye-Catching Look
In 2025, we’re swapping out small and minimalist tiles for their large format counterparts (and we have to say, we’re loving the change).
Aren’t you just tired of extra grout lines to clean and more tiles to polish? By exchanging your small tiles for large-format tiles, you not only make the room feel more spacious, but you’re also saving yourself the maintenance hassle!
Available in various finishes, from polished stone to matte concrete, large format tiles are great for bathrooms and kitchens. Your home will feel more open and airy while preventing water damage and everyday wear and tear.
5. Beautiful Cut and Loop Carpets
Yes, that’s right, carpets are making a comeback. And they’re not just the plain old carpets you’re used to.
With unique textures and eye-catching designs, cut and loop carpets are redefining modern interiors. A soft underfoot feel can do wonders for making your home feel more cosy and inviting!
Cut and loop pile carpets are durable and attractive, with a range of styles and designs to choose from. Their textured design adds dimension and creates beautiful shadows for a truly unique touch.
6. Sustainable Choices Matter
In the modern world, it’s best to make as many sustainable choices as you can, especially when it comes to our homes.
Choosing authentic materials may cost more, but it’ll lower your carbon footprint and extend the durability and longevity of your flooring in the long run. Eco-conscious homeowners use materials like bamboo, cork, and reclaimed wood.
You may like to know that besides being better for the environment, these materials are safer for your home, as they don’t contain harmful chemicals like phthalates, biocides, and fungicides.
If you want something that is a mix of authentic and affordable, our engineered wood flooring is perfect for you. Featuring a top layer of natural wood, it looks the same as a wooden floor but is cheaper and requires less maintenance.

7. Biophilic Design
Back to the idea of bringing the outdoors indoors, biophilic design is taking the interior industry by storm this year, and we expect it’ll only grow in popularity!
This includes incorporating earthy tones, like terracotta and muted greens, into your floors. Warm finishes and natural grains, like warm oak, ash, and walnut, pair well with organic furniture, indoor plants, and lots of natural lighting.
Foster a serene and calm environment with this trend—it works well with vintage cottages, old buildings, or retro interiors. If you love your home to feel minimalist and organic, this is the perfect approach.
8. Mixed Materials for Visual Interest
Who said you have to choose just one type of flooring?
In 2025, we’re shedding outdated beliefs and straying from the dirt road. Combining materials like wood and stone or tiles of different colours and patterns can make for a dynamic, eye-catching floor.
This could mean adding a decorative tile border around wooden floors in your kitchen, perfect for framing a kitchen island or table. Or, you could mix two different designs or colours of tiles to add a twist to checkered tiles. The decision is yours!
9. Vintage Takes All
Trends come back around all the time—we see it with everything from fashion to beauty and home design.
So, now is the time to bring back vintage-inspired flooring like terrazzo and linoleum. Terrazzo adds a timeless charm to various spaces and is renowned for its speckled patterns, which add personality to any room. With its resilience against high humidity levels, it’s a great choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
Linoleum flooring, on the other hand, can mimic anything from wood to stone flooring. You can opt for bright colours or detailed patterns, serving as a great versatile piece. Plus, it’s durable and eco-friendly! It fits perfectly into the biophilic trend.
10. Interesting Inlays and Motifs
Similar to the mixed materials trend, many homeowners are starting to add intriguing inlays and motifs to their flooring.
From creating borders and patterns with brass or copper strips to adding diamond patterns or central medallions in entryways and dining rooms, there’s plenty of room for creativity.
This trend is bringing back playfulness and risk-taking in interior design, and we hope it’s here to stay!
