2025 Flooring Trends

 

Are you considering a Bathroom Remodel or Kitchen Remodel for your home? One of the most important decisions you’ll make in your remodel is the flooring. It is a subtle yet major factor in the aesthetic of a space. Plus, it will see more wear and tear than any other material in your home! As products are improved upon, new trends arise, not just because of aesthetics, but also functionality!

Best Durable Flooring Options for Kitchens & Bathrooms

For many homeowners considering a bathroom or kitchen remodel in 2025, flooring durability is not only a consideration but a big concern. Many of our bathroom remodel clients began their remodel due to a moisture or mold problem. They’re not interested in a temporary fix! This is part of the value of hiring an Interior Designer for your project. A professional will be able to guide you towards the best materials for your needs. 

 

Questions to Ask:

 

• Does this space see a lot of moisture? Frequent shower/tub use calls for extra moisture considerations.
• Who is using the space? Young families will want to consider bathroom flooring that is splash-safe!
• Is this space a high-traffic area? Choose a flooring that can handle heavy usage without showing wear.
• Do you have pets with nails? Make sure the material you choose is scratch-resistant. 
• Do you have aging-in-home concerns? Opt for flooring that is slip-resistant.
• Do you want to install a heated floor? This option will only be available with tile flooring, and some LVP.

 

The answers to these questions will guide the products and materials you choose. We recommend tile flooring for most bathrooms due to moisture concerns with daily shower use. For kitchens, laundry rooms, and powder rooms, moisture is less of an issue, making luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or engineered hardwood great options. Be willing to pay more to get the product that lasts!

 

2025 Flooring Trend: Warm Tones

Many of our clients are moving towards warmer tones throughout the home, including flooring! It makes sense – warm colors feel…warm! This year, you’ll see floors with fun tile colors, others with natural hardwoods, and generally a lighter neutral palette. These tones complement the natural wood cabinetry and bronze hardware that are popular choices for kitchens and bathrooms. 

2025 Hardwood Floor Trends 

Many people hear “hardwoods” and think of the orange oak that is popular in Greenville. The reality is, there’s a world of options with hardwoods! Now, with engineered hardwood floors, the price tag is more attainable than ever. If you love the look of natural wood floors, here are a few aspects to consider: 

 

 

Hardwood Floor Species

Oak is the most common hardwood species in the Greenville area, but maple, mahogany, pine, hickory and even walnut are other options to consider. Each species has a unique texture, pattern, and natural color. But that’s not the only thing to consider!
 

 

Hardwood Floor Stain Colors 

We’re seeing a trend towards lighter and mid-tone hardwood finishes. There’s a variety of options available here as well. Some vendors will allow you to pick from a limited stain color palette. When working with Ferguson Builders, our team can mix a custom tint in-home to match almost any shade you have in mind. 
 

 

Hardwood Floor Finishes 

One element of hardwoods that gets overlooked is the finish. Higher-gloss finishes feel more formal. Matte and low-sheen options are a popular choice right now because they offer a more casual feel and hide pet hair and dirt!

Tile Flooring Trends 2025

Tile is gaining popularity as a subtle (or bold!) way to personalize your space. It’s the perfect way to add texture, color, and variety. With Our Process, we can pull from any supplier, giving you an unlimited range of options. Here are some of our favorite trends in the tile category. 

 

 

Geometric Tile Floors

Want to play it safe but still have that custom detail? Many of our clients are opting for unique shapes like this mosaic tile. Others prefer hexagonal or circular tile. It’s the perfect way to dress up a space and add that elevated look that leaves houseguests impressed. The bottom line? It doesn’t have to be showy to make a statement! 
 

 

Checkered Tile Floors

Timeless, classic, and elegant, checkered tile flooring is making a comeback in both kitchens and bathrooms! Its bold pattern can create a sense of spaciousness. This style offers more than just one look with a variety of colors to choose from (white & black, white & gray, white & tan, etc.) 
 

 

Painted Tile Floors

For a more artistic look, painted tiles offer the most customization of all. Limitless colors, patterns, and styles can be achieved with this look! Painted tile is perfect for a laundry room, powder bath, mudroom, or any smaller space that needs a pop of texture. 
 

 

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring Trends 2025

In past years, LVP was considered the cheapest and least durable option. Since then, the industry has made huge improvements and this material now offers a great lifespan. Due to added texture and color variation, many LVP options now look and feel like natural wood or stone. With improved padding and waterproofing, the warranty has expanded to 20-30 years. The only area we recommend staying away from is bathrooms that see a lot of use – moisture can still cause an issue if trapped underneath. 

Looking Ahead: Flooring in 2025

2025 is going to be full of options: hardwood finishes, bold tile, and more durable options with LVP. Trends may come and go, but the two major factors to consider are durability and your custom preferences. What’s best for your home?
