If you’re looking to give your house a major upgrade without the hassle of a full renovation project, a new flooring installation might be the perfect solution.
And if you’re thinking of installing a new flooring surface in your home, you’ll want to make sure your investment stays current and trendy for years to come. With that in mind, here’s a look at some of this year’s hottest flooring trends ? trends that will continue to be popular well into the future:
Bamboo flooring
There are a variety of different colors, brands and types of bamboo flooring, but they all share one thing in common: They’re hugely popular among homeowners looking to refresh their living space in 2017.
And they’re highly durable in addition to being stylish. Some types of bamboo floors boast an average Janka hardness of more than 3,500. Compared to the average hardwood Janka hardness of 1450, this is a clear advantage. Floors with higher Janka hardness ratings are less susceptible from scratches and dents from foot traffic and furniture, making it a sound investment for any home.
Dramatic colors
Another hot flooring trend that’s taking the country by storm this year? Dramatic flooring colors. Whether you go for a rich, dark ebony or a light gray or tan, these bold color choices will add exciting contrasts and visual drama to your living space. One downfall of these intense colors is their ability to show dirt and dust more prominently ? so you should expect to break out the broom a bit more often.
Wider planks
Wider wood planks have become increasingly popular over the last few years. It’s not hard to see why, either ? when a floor’s planks are wider, they instantly add more space and make your rooms look larger as a result. Wide planks also add a vintage flair, since this style is a trademark of old-fashioned pine floors. Strips of wood as wide as 3 1/4” ? and even wider ? aren’t an uncommon sight in today’s households. Just know that you can expect to pay more for these wider wood planks!
