We might be halfway through 2024, but it’s never too late to embrace the latest interior décor trends.
If upgrading your home was one of your goals in 2024, or you’ve already checked ‘become a homeowner’ off your list of resolutions and are decorating to suit your taste, flooring is a great place to start.
But what types of flooring are popular this year?
In this post, our flooring specialists at LJV explore a few of our favourite flooring trends for 2024 that are sure to help elevate your interior.
1. Herringbone flooring
Synonymous with society’s elite circles back in the 1600s, herringbone flooring is now a popular choice for modern homeowners wanting to achieve a luxurious, yet minimalist feel in their houses.
Herringbone patterns are available in many different forms, including solid wood, engineered wood and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and the best choice for your home depends on where it’ll be installed as well as how much you’re willing to spend.
Herringbone-patterned luxury vinyl flooring works amazingly in pretty much all areas of the home, and is a much more affordable way to keep your décor on trend than solid or engineered wood.
2. Bold colours and patterns
If you’re a lover of maximalist décor, then we’ve got great news.
Bright colours and bold patterns are IN!
Thanks to the versatility of vinyl flooring, there’s an array of colours and patterns available that are sure to help you make a statement.
Our personal favourites are checkerboard patterns, as it fits seamlessly into a range of décor styles and helps create a striking contrast.
3. Distressed wood finishes
Many people decorating their homes are also leaning into industrial-style décor, and the perfect way to embrace this trend is with distressed-style flooring.
While some prefer to do this with their existing floorboards, sanding, scuffing and restaining them to achieve their desired look.
Others – who maybe don’t have as much time on their hands – prefer to opt for distressed-looking laminate flooring, which is the most sensible option, as cleaning and maintenance is much simpler.
4. Sustainable carpets
Now more than ever, there’s a huge focus on preserving the planet for future generations. Many eco-conscious homeowners are searching for environmentally friendly ways to spruce up their homes.
This is why sustainable flooring is taking off this year, and there are plenty of carpets on the market to help you lean into this trend.
Carpets made from recycled materials – such as nylon and polyester – and even natural fibres like wool and sisal not only help contribute to a healthier plant but also look great, too!
