It’s October and that means Living Month 2023! We all know that trends race by like a high-speed train, but it is important to stay ahead of them. Within all these trends, floors are no exception, as floors create the foundation for the rest of the room. Therefore, in this blog, we are going to look at the flooring trends that will pass by in 2024. From durability to innovative materials and striking (matte) designs, in this blog we will tell you all about the upcoming trends!
Sustainability
As with interior design, sustainability regarding flooring is a major trend. And this is not surprising, as we see this trend coming back time and again. However, the trend does take on a refreshing dimension in 2024; we are not just looking at using recycled materials, but developing technologies that encourage the creation of sustainable ecosystems. One example is the revolutionary technologies used in the production of Hybrid Wood floors, such as the well-known Wood Powder. This technology cleverly uses advanced manufacturing methods to merge wood powder, resins and the wood design layer. Thus, under a huge dose of pressure and high temperatures, these products are transformed into real wood floors. This results in floors that are not only super strong, but also offer all the benefits of laminate and Vinyl. And all with an authentic wood floor look!

Herringbone and Whalebone floors
We all know them – the herringbone floors! Whereas last year straight floors had grown in popularity, they are now completely back on the scene. In 2024, herringbone and whalebone pattern floors are back in the spotlight in full force! And not only in a light oak hue, but also in darker warm colours. Indeed, black has become an indispensable colour in modern interiors. Just think of the countless matte black kitchens that pop up on Pinterest and Instagram. Want to go for a contemporary look? Then opting for a light oak Whalebone Vinyl floor combined with dark furniture, doors and accents is always a good choice. But in 2024, we like to turn it around, combining light wall colours with dark floors. Dark and warm herringbone floors give rooms an elegant and modern look, creating a cosy atmosphere in bedrooms and living rooms. The versatility of herringbone floors, combined with the many colours, is sure to become a design trend in the coming year!

MEGAMAT© Vinyl
The finish of your Floer plays a crucial role in the overall look of your interior – it’s something most interior design enthusiasts know about. But let’s face it, the traditional Vinyl floors of yesteryear have an annoying feature. Older Vinyl floors are quite reflective, which can lead to annoying reflections from the sun when there is a certain light in large windows or sliding doors. And this in turn distracts from the desired visual harmony! So something you don’t want. Fortunately, at Floer we have a solution for this annoying feature.
Recently at Floer we proudly introduced the new MEGAMAT© gloss value! This gloss value is unique within the market. Combined with a subtly tactile top layer, the MEGAMAT© finish creates the perfect picture for your home! The MEGAMAT© finish has been applied to the Whalebone Vinyl, Whalebone Click Vinyl and Village Vinyl collections, among others. Have you experienced the MEGAMAT© revolution yet? 😉

Stone and concrete looks
A while ago, millennial grey (drenching everything in grey) was a popular interior trend, but we are happy to say hello to these (somewhat boring) colours in 2024. Add some colour to your decor, because the interior trends of 2024 are all around the theme “Positivity”! And what is not positivity? A boring grey mess. But in 2024, stone and concrete look floors do make a complete comeback. Because people will already bring so much colour into their homes, a good base is very important. Grey goes well with everything, and with a stone look floor, you can decorate your home exactly the way you want.
So stone and concrete looks are ab-so-lutely part of the flooring trends of 2024. But which colour tile should you choose? And which one goes best with your interior? Here, basically the same rule applies as for the other types of flooring. Go for a dark tile if you want to reflect a light colour on the wall and in your furniture. Choose a lighter marble tile if you want to create a nice contrast with your dark furniture. You can also think about the optical effect: a light floor makes your space look bigger and more open, and a dark floor makes the room feel cozier and cosy. So, are you going for a concrete look floor? Then discover the many possibilities in the Tile Vinyl collection!

The above flooring trends show that our flooring is not just a functional part of the room, but an additional design element that can make or break your interior.

Besides, sustainability is not just a design choice, but a lifestyle that everyone should live by. 2024 is all about making sustainable choices and choosing products with a long life guarantee. We no longer throw things away, but recycle them into new products. We are very curious to see what 2024 will bring us next within the flooring world!
