With a new year on the horizon, we’re taking a look at what’s next in flooring. From the latest trending tones to the finishes shaping our homes. Here’s what styles we see sticking around and what new ideas are set to emerge in 2027.
Flooring was once seen as a largely practical decision, but recent years have seen it become an increasingly prominent design element of the home. Being thoughtfully considered to complement walls, furniture and decorative details. Patterned flooring in particular offers the opportunity to bring different elements of a room together, whether through coordinating colours or creating subtle contrast. For 2027, it’s all about taking a more cohesive approach to design, creating spaces where every detail feels connected, and using flooring to achieve this.
Timeless design isn’t new in interiors, but as we head into 2027, the movement towards lasting appeal over passing trends continues to rise. Classic styles, such as victorian-inspired tiles are more at home than ever in modern interiors, with the adaptation of softer, more understated colour palettes. Similarly, intricate parquet flooring patterns like basketweave and herringbone bring a classic foundation, but in contemporary tones. Both create results that feel current without being tied to a particular trend, for space that can evolve over time.
After years of dominating interiors, we are seeing grey continue to fade and the movement towards warmer more welcoming shades continue into 2027. Whilst we don’t anticipate grey will disappear altogether, there is a distinct drive to bring warmth and character into the home and softer neutrals and earthy tones are being chosen over cooler shades to achieve this. For those still drawn to grey, we expect to see warmer undertones taking precedence over cooler shades, creating spaces that feel more welcoming and lived in as well as contemporary and chic.
Latest technology is seeing practical flooring materials like LVT looking more authentic than ever. From distinctive wood grains and knots to plank variation and fewer pattern repeats, we expect to see enhanced detail in floor design to more accurately replicate the imperfections of natural materials. This growing attention to detail is reflected in our Iconic collection, our most authentic flooring range to date.
For 2027 we expect to see a rise in wider wood planks being chosen for larger, more connected spaces. With open-plan living continuing to influence the way we design our homes, people are leaning towards blank canvases. Fewer joins interrupting the floor, creates a more seamless and open look. Paired with soft, subtle wood grains, this look brings a sense of minimalism that lends itself particularly well to Scandinavian-inspired and organic interiors. There’s something striking about the large scale and simplicity, that demonstrates dramatic tones and patterns aren’t needed to make an impact.
For years, we’ve been encouraged to steer clear of darker tones for fear of making a room feel smaller. But heading into 2027, we’re seeing a growing appreciation for darker, moodier interiors, with rich wood tones bringing depth, warmth and a more intimate feel to a space.
