2020 Flooring Trends

Every year, homeowners across the nation purchase new flooring for an exciting design refresh, or put original flooring in a brand new home. Are you in the market for gorgeous new surfaces in 2020? Maybe you cherish the authentic beauty of hand-scraped wood or crave the combination of realistic wood visual and versatile performance from vinyl or laminate. For 2020, waterproof flooring is in increasingly high demand and supremely soft carpet always draws rave reviews. Whichever option captures your heart, we love all of these popular flooring trends for 2020!

Waterproof Laminate

If you have an active home with kids and pets, you already understand the invaluable performance of waterproof laminate styles like Olde Mill H2O from Lifetime Floors. When spills occur, this revolutionary water-resistant laminate provides moisture protection for up to 72 hours. The authentic wood beauty in Country Store variety is incredibly easy to maintain and install at all levels, and it can even be installed with no transitions up to 4,300 square feet.

Hand-Scraped Wood

For a more modern version of distressed hardwood, hand-scraped varieties such as the Coastal Collection from Lifetime Floors offer effortless visual interest and natural character. The hand-scraped distressing enhances the grain, as seen in this Cambria birch option with medium color variation. Hand-scraped detail will also help mask wear-and-tear to your floors over the years.  

Wood Look Vinyl

It’s no secret that LVT has risen tremendously in popularity, and styles like Toughlock Thompson Square make it easy to see why. This well-rounded product offers outstanding durability, is completely waterproof, and realistically mimics the texture and visual of hand-scraped wood. If you need a cheaper, easier-to-install flooring option, Toughlock LVT provides floating, click-lock DIY installation that you can put in any room.

Wood Look Tile

Homeowners can’t get enough of luxurious wood visuals, and this extends to striking wood look tile choices as well. Use Toughlock tile from Lifetime Floors, such as this style in Desert, to create eye-catching floors that are easy to install, easy to maintain, and can handle spills better than actual wood. As longer, wider planks continue to sell tremendously, larger tiles are thriving as well. Natural stone will also help retain more resale value for your home down the line.

SmartStrand Carpet

Made from revolutionary Triexta, SmartStrand carpet, such as Slate Tile SmartStrand Ultra, offers a great balance of stain resistance, sustainability, and durability. Engineered with All Pet Protection, its superior stain guard comes from the actual shape of the carpet fiber and not from a topical coating. Along with incredible softness and chic style that everyone is sure to love, SmartStrand Ultra is easy to clean and is a perfect match for active families who want to make memories without stressing about spills.

Animal Print

It’s a known fact that the right area rug can end up being the perfect piece to complete an interior design. Animal prints like this zebra-inspired Dalyn rug from the Aloft Collection add an instant pop of interest, pattern, and connection to nature, as well as protection for your hard surfaces. This rug's polyester construction also adds fantastic durability at a great price point. For 2020, expect to see more exotic animal prints offered for a playful, chic touch that matches well with many different design schemes.
