2025 has just started and you may want to come up with a home project that will help you welcome the new year. It can be overwhelming to start – especially when you think about the different areas in your home to tackle. But if you happen to consider your flooring as a start, then we’d be happy to help you with that.
There are many flooring options to choose from but for the year 2025, we just have the perfect recommendations to kick everything off. So, check out these flooring trends and see if you will find one that suits your taste!
- Pale pine and bleached oak
This is the biggest hardwood floor color trend happening right now. Very pale, light-colored wood floors have been the big style for a couple of years now and they aren’t going anywhere. These lighter hues feel contemporary, and are inspired by Scandinavian design, but were also popular during the Modern Farmhouse craze of the 2010s.
Pale wood floors are beautiful because they make a room feel more open and modern than deeper tones. They’re well-suited to organic modern decor, contemporary or minimalist homes, modern farmhouse spaces, and new construction homes where everything else feels ‘new.’
The good news about pale-toned floors is that, while they may be the it-flooring color this year, they won’t feel out of style in a few years. Pale wood flooring has been around for ages, and is considered a fairly standard choice. So, even if flooring color trends go a bit darker in a few years, you won’t have to worry about your entire home looking out-of-style. You’ll be able to live with light-colored wood floors for years.

- Bold parquet
Parquet flooring is making another strong comeback, this time with a contemporary twist. No longer confined to traditional herringbone patterns, 2025’s parquet floors feature bold, oversized designs and unexpected layouts. Whether in deep walnut or light oak, parquet brings texture and visual interest, making it a favorite in trendy interiors. Just keep the rest of your decor simple to let the floor be the star.
- Delineation
The 2025 flooring trends love extending the same flooring materials beyond the walls, creating a seamless flow from inside to outside. This approach goes beyond aesthetic appeal; it’s about a lifestyle shift towards integrating nature with daily living. You can choose between subtly pulling the outdoor material inside or stretching the same flooring from your living room onto your terrace. The latter works particularly well for smaller spaces, making them feel larger and more connected to the environment. Source: Decorilla
- Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Tile (LVT)
Luxury vinyl remains one of the most sought-after materials in both residential and commercial flooring. The appeal of LVP and LVT lies in their durability, water resistance, and ability to mimic natural materials like wood and stone at a fraction of the cost. In 2024, luxury vinyl experienced a 15% sales increase, and this upward trend is expected to continue into 2025 as consumers seek cost-effective yet aesthetically pleasing options.
- Waterproof Flooring
As more businesses and developers look for versatile spaces, waterproof flooring is becoming a top priority. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) are two types of waterproof vinyl that are seeing increased demand in commercial settings like healthcare facilities and restaurants, where moisture resistance is critical.
A recent market study revealed that the waterproof flooring sector is projected to grow by 9.4% through 2025, driven by both renovations and new builds in wet climates. Source: BMD Materials
