Get Floored: 2018's Most Popular Flooring Options

When it comes to flooring, 2018 delivers on quality, variety and style. Whatever your taste, there's an option to match. The floor sets the foundation for every room, so it's worth choosing carefully.

Here are this year's most popular flooring trends to help you decide which style is right for you.

1. Bleached Wood

If the brown tones of traditional wood floors feel dated to you, consider the whitewashed look of bleached wood. It offers a chic, airy feel with all the classic charm of natural wood. It's especially popular in lake and farmhouse homes, but it's versatile enough for many settings. If you live on the water, see our post on flooring for lake living.

2. Black and White Tile

This vintage favorite is back, but it isn't the black and white tile you remember from your grandmother's house. Today's versions are bolder and more luxurious, with smaller tiles and striking patterns. It's the perfect blend of vintage and contemporary.

3. Graphic Tile

If you're not afraid to treat your floor as a work of art, graphic tile may be for you. Options range from colorful encaustic-style tiles to small pieces that combine into a larger pattern. It works especially well in bathrooms, laundry rooms and entryways.

4. Rustic Wood

Reclaimed wood creates a warm, rustic style. Thanks to new technology, factory-finished hardwood can deliver the same charm for far less, and it holds up better to moisture than true reclaimed timber.

5. Porcelain Tile

Porcelain tile is attractive and versatile. It can mimic marble or travertine without the price tag, and wood-look porcelain gives you the warmth of hardwood with better resistance to moisture and scratches. Compare it in our post on the pros and cons of tile flooring.

6. Luxury Vinyl Tile and Plank

Vinyl has come a long way. Today's luxury vinyl offers realistic wood and stone looks plus excellent durability and moisture resistance, making it a smart choice for bathrooms, basements and busy family spaces, at a much lower price than tile or hardwood.
