If you want to stay informed and learn about the flooring and interior trends of 2021, this video will provide clarity.
The interior and flooring trends of 2021
Boldly dark!
Black has become an undeniable trend in interior design, with its various shades such as jet black, matt black, or warm black. This color is omnipresent and is expected to remain prominent in 2021. The trend initially started with the rise of sturdy furniture and gradually expanded to black kitchens and steel doors. This trend has been widely embraced by interior design enthusiasts, leading to the continued popularity of dark and bold aesthetics. Dark furniture, black walls, steel doors, black skirting boards, and dark window frames are all in vogue. Incorporating black in your space not only adds a stylish and edgy look but also creates a dramatic contrast with other colors and textures. Therefore, if you’re looking to make a bold statement in your interior design, black is definitely a color to consider.
Black is a major interior trend
If you’re considering incorporating black into your interior and wondering what flooring would complement it best, light oak colors with a warm hue, like the extra wide Country House Laminate Light Oak or Untreated Oak, are a popular choice. In this interior, an untreated floor has been used in combination with steel accents and dark colors, accentuating the natural look of the floor and creating a unique contrast with the black. Also, a helpful tip: if you’re looking to add warmth to an interior with black accents without creating too much contrast, opt for an untreated oak floor.
Alternatively, if you prefer a bolder approach, consider a dark herringbone floor as a statement piece and keep the rest of the interior calm and neutral with light walls and soft tones.
Bringing the outside in
In 2021, natural materials will continue to be a trend in home interiors, with wood being a widely used material. Along with wood, botanical themes will remain popular, as people favour plants, natural materials, and wooden accessories. The idea is to create an indoor-outdoor connection. To continue this trend in your interior, consider oak parquet flooring. Oak parquet flooring adds a natural dimension to interiors.
If you’re interested in a floor that looks like wood but isn’t real wood, there are many vinyl and laminate options with natural colour and an oak-like atmosphere. Herringbone laminate flooring is often paired with this trend because of its realistic oak look. In flooring trends, the natural colour of untreated oak is the most popular choice and will remain important in 2021.
Neutral beige tones
Do you feel that matte black creates too much contrast in your home? Would you prefer a more calming atmosphere? Soft beige shades are back in fashion and people often choose them as wall colours. You can combine them with natural soft colours and a light, untreated floor to create a trendy look. In this example, an extra-large Whalebone floor in the colour Orka Untreated was chosen by the client to create a soft look and bring the interior together.
Herringbone floor
As you may already know, herringbone floors are currently very popular in the flooring and interior design industry. Both traditional and extra-large herringbone floors are in high demand due to their popularity. The latest flooring and interior design trends of 2021 reflect a growing demand for unique herringbone floors, in addition to the classic herringbone pattern. One such trend is the use of extra-large Whalebone Vinyl floors. Although larger rooms are often the preferred choice for these floors, they can also work well in smaller spaces. The large, spacious pattern of the floor can create a feeling of openness and add visual interest to any room.
Sustainable interior
Meanwhile, sustainability has become a hot topic, and its influence is evident in interior design trends. This is seen in the use of recycled materials and vintage furniture. A popular flooring option is the Aged & White Oiled Oak Parquet floor, which offers a tough character and a matching distressed appearance. If you are looking for a durable and long-lasting floor, Floer is always a dependable choice.
