Here’s a look at the key flooring trends set to define the year ahead.
1. Sustainable Choices: Green Flooring Takes Center Stage
Eco-conscious consumers are driving a shift towards sustainable flooring materials. In 2025, expect to see:
Reclaimed wood flooring, offering a rustic charm while reducing environmental impact.
Natural carpets which are trendy, hardwearing and extremely eco-friendly: jute, sisal, coir and seagrass.
Recycled materials, such as carpets made from ocean plastics or rubber flooring repurposed from used tyres. Sedna carpet is one of these wonderful examples, and Alternative Flooring’s ca-rPET range, which is made from recycled plastic bottles.
2. Bold Patterns and Textures
Say goodbye to boring floors! 2025 embraces bold patterns, textures, and artistic designs:
Chevron and herringbone patterns continue to dominate, especially in engineered wood and vinyl plank flooring.
3D textured tiles, creating dynamic and tactile surfaces.
Statement carpets, there are so many wonderful patterned carpets out there now, choose from striped, flowers, geometric, and even animal print! These continue to be popular, and are wonderful for making a stylish statement in your home.
3. Warm and Natural Tones
Say goodbye to boring floors! 2025 embraces bold patterns, textures, and artistic designs:
Neutral, earthy tones are making a strong comeback. Colours like sandy beige, soft taupe, and warm oak provide a calming and grounded atmosphere. Paired with natural light, these tones enhance spaces with a sense of warmth and connection to nature.
4. Waterproof Innovations
With advancements in technology, waterproof flooring options are better than ever. Perfect for families and high-traffic areas, expect to see more Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) with enhanced waterproof cores and even more styles to choose from.
5. Wide Plank and Oversized Tiles
Larger formats are trending in 2025, creating an open and seamless look. Wide planks in hardwood or vinyl provide a modern, expansive feel, while oversized tiles in natural stone or concrete are ideal for contemporary aesthetics. Amtico have a wonderful selection of wider tiles and stones.
6. High-Tech Flooring Solutions
Smart homes demand smart flooring. Innovative features include:
Radiant heating systems, built into flooring for ultimate comfort. What flooring works best with underfloor heating?
Anti-microbial finishes, ideal for health-conscious households. Amtico boast collections that are designed with antimicrobial properties that reduce bacteria by over 99.9%, ensuring a more hygienic home.
Interactive floors, with built-in lighting or pressure-sensitive technology for a futuristic touch.
7. Soft and Quiet Underfoot
Comfort remains a priority, particularly in family homes. Carpets with ultra-soft textures, sound-absorbing underlays, and cushioned vinyl are increasingly popular for creating cosy, quiet spaces. Underlay is so important when laying flooring, and plays a huge part in absorbing sound – take a look at our guide to underlay.
