Waterproof Vinyl & Laminate

Wood Look & Stone Look
Vinyl and laminate flooring has been mimicking the look of hardwood and stone for years. They tend to be more durable and budget-friendly than their counterparts and have become extremely realistic over the year. Trending wood look styles closely match what is trending for hardwood and vice versa for stone. There has been a big push for a more toned-down, realistic, and functional decor in 2022. Nature is back in interior design and it can be felt everywhere from the top paint colors to the trending floor styles.
Laminate and Vinyl flooring are following hardwood trends by mimicking; hand-scraped, distressed, herringbone, and low gloss hardwood. Check out our top hardwood flooring blog to find out more about what's trending in hardwood.
When looking at stone look vinyl flooring, we are seeing a push for more natural-looking stone looks that mimic the look of marble, slate, and travertine. Check out our blog to find out more about trending natural stone styles.
Concrete Look
As we continue to experiment designing with more natural-looking products, concrete look flooring has gained popularity for its beautiful simplicity and ability to transform an industrial space. We are particular fans of this style because while real concrete looks amazing, it's not so comfortable to walk on and vinyl or laminate has solved that problem completely.
Patterns
We can't talk about vinyl without talking about trending patterns! Pattern flooring has gotten overlooked in the past few years as vinyl continue to move towards realism but patterns are still hot, hot, hot, in the design world! Patterned vinyl flooring allows a homeowner to break up the space and create a unique design. Kitchens and bathrooms in particular can be completely transformed using decorative patterned vinyl.
