Make a bold design statement this season with beautiful new floors that scream elegant while also being sustainable. After being stuck indoors for so long, many of us are craving natural elements in our home design. Seek the adventure of the outdoors from the safety of your home by upgrading your floors with a sustainable-chic option like cork flooring or by upgrading your old hardwood floors a new dark stain plank.

Black Hardwood
Updating your floors with a hardwood in a dark stain not only enhances the beauty of hardwood, but adds a dramatic flair to any room in your house. Known for its sleek, distinctness, dark hardwood is inspirational touch to add to your home flooring. If you don’t want to opt for true black hardwood floors, try your hand at darker woods like ebony which will still give off a natural vibe while also lending warmth to your floors.

Large Format Tiles
The concept of open space is not lost on a small apartment and many of us are trying to expand our rooms as much as possible these days. Large format tiles are great for this, as they give the illusion of more space while also looking incredibly modern. Try to personalize your home office space with geometric carpet tiles –this is the perfect time to get creative! Mix and match your carpet tiles with different patterns or alternate tile colors to create your desired outcome.

Industrial Chic
Long-lasting flooring is key to a beautiful home, so it’s no surprise that industrial elements have come into play this season as realistic substitutes to the traditional vinyl floors. Concrete flooring is all the rage and after years of being used in commercial settings, we’re finally starting to bring this practical flooring product into our homes. Concrete flooring is ideal, especially for basements where you might have wet bar set up or a game table, as they are easy to maintain and can be dressed up with an area rug. If you don’t like the feel of concrete and want a more polished look, there are a wide variety of tile options out there that mimic concrete looks. Cork flooring is another healthy alternative flooring option as it absorbs heat and keeps your feet warm during the day –not to mention it looks boho-chic in your living space.

Marble Tiles
Marble tiles have long been a classic go-to for adding a flair of elegance to any room. Good news for those who love this smooth look --marble is still in! You can dress up any room of your home with a set of shiny marble tiles. For a sophisticated bathroom, try installing these floors and using a similar vein of marble tile for your shower and bathroom sink backsplash. This ties the room together beautifully and best of all makes a great backdrop for any metal appliances and decor.
