Floors are an important part of a house and have a major impact on the interior design of a room. Floors can support indoor activities to prevent propagation and dampen sound reflections, and insulators against temperature exchange.
Floors are functional and affect the room design. The material, color, shape, and texture of the floor can beautify the room. Just like other aspects of interior design, floor trends can always change. This year, several floor design trends will be present.
Natural wood flooring
Wood flooring with natural and light colors has been a trend for the past few years and will still be popular in the next year. The materials used, both real wood and vinyl, create a natural and neutral impression so that it is suitable for application in various interior designs. Such as traditional interior designs to Japandi.
Patterned floors
Tiles and wood floors can use colorful pattern designs. The patterns used are herringbone, basketweave, and chevron. For information, herringbone is a traditional zigzag pattern inspired by the Herrington fish bone. This pattern can be used on floors, architecture, and fashion. A basketweave is a pattern with one color or type of wood, although it can be mixed with several different colors to give a unique impression.
While chevron is a variation of herringbone but more regular. A parquet in the chevron pattern is cut and then installed so it forms an arrow. This pattern is more expensive than the herringbone version because of its complexity, but it is more stable and looks classic so it is suitable for contemporary-style houses.
Wide plank wood flooring
Hard plank wood flooring with about 10 inches width is still a trend. This design generally comes from typical European home designs and can make the room look fresher and more beautiful.
Terrazzo flooring
Terrazzo is a floor with a mixture of cement and sand and the top is coated with hard materials such as marble shards. In addition to being used for floors, terrazzo can be used on kitchen tables. This terrazzo floor can be applied in a larger slab space, pre-cast, and cut into tiles for more complex designs. This year, larger and bolder terrazzo patterns with layer cuts on top will be more popular, including combined colors and patterns. Mosaic patterns can also be an option to complement retro, vintage, or classic interior designs.
Natural stone flooring
Natural flooring materials are not only wood material. Natural stone can also be used for floors. A popular and frequently used material is marble. Then slate is applied in large format tiles for a sleeker and smoother look. Moreover, porcelain tiles have the same look as slate tiles. These tiles can hold water better than slate and require less maintenance, making them great for homes.
Terracotta flooring
Terracotta tile flooring is making a comeback as people look for an organic, modern aesthetic with a traditional twist. These tiles are made from clay, fired to a reddish brown color. A natural feel is perfect for ethnic settings. Terracotta tiles also come in a variety of different colors, shapes, and textures.
