There are a few different categories of modern flooring types available, all with different trends to choose from. The most popular flooring types are:

Trending colours
Bold colour and pattern is in for 2023, along with rich wood colours and timeless, neutral tones. Here, we breakdown the latest trends per floor type.
Hardwood floor trends
Rich wood tones
Deep mahogany and darker shades of wood are becoming more popular as the maximalist interior trend continues to adorn peoples homes. They give a luxury, cosy and traditional edge to living rooms, hallways and bedrooms.
Natural, pale shades
The Scandinavian style of bleached oaks and lighter wood finishes continues to gain popularity and adds a fresh, timeless feel to homes. These tones compliment modern design, can help to open up any space and don’t risk looking dated in years to come.
Herringbone flooring
If you fancy adding a pattern to your floor, then herringbone is a timeless classic that is bang on trend for this year. Pair with a natural wood effect to truly upscale your home decor.
Tiling trends
Nature-inspired tiles
Large format tiles in porcelain, slate, stone or marble play into the wider trend of nature-inspired decor and will instantly make your kitchen or bathroom stylish and luxurious. Opt for neutral shades to keep it minimal and classic.
Checkerboard tiles
Checks have gone from traditional to trendy. They are a great way to blend modern and classic styles and are fast becoming a popular choice for hallways, kitchens, cloakrooms, bathrooms and even outdoor patios. Colours range from classic black and white to warmer hues like burgundy, brown or dark green.
Bold and bright tile patterns
If you want to make a statement in your kitchen or bathroom then this could be the trend for you. From geometric patterns to encaustic tiles and pops of colour, 2023 is the year to go all out with your tiles. Pair with neutral accessories to really give your floor centre stage.
Carpet trends
Warm, neutral tones
Create a welcoming, calming feel in your bedroom or landing with soft, neutral beige tones. A classic, on-trend carpet colour that will never go out of style.
Textured carpets
For a luxurious and trendy look, choose a textured carpet with added plushness, such as herringbone, wool or jute. Earthy tones layered onto these textures like ochre or terracotta add even more style and comfort to minimal aesthetics.
Carpet runners
Runners are making a comeback this year, perfect for stairways and particularly popular in homes with wooden floors. Opt for a woven, durable carpet if your stairway gets lots of traffic and play with a bold trim for that added wow factor.
Other flooring styles
Layer it up
With texture being a big home decor trend for 2023, adding rugs to your floor is an easy way to stay in style without doing anything too drastic. Use pattern or bold colours to add warm and depth, or have multiple rugs in each room for ultimate cosy vibes.
Sustainable, natural materials
Sustainability is on everyone’s minds, so it makes sense that it’s a big trend when it comes to our interiors. Natural hardwood floors, recyclable lino and seagrass or jute carpets all feature heavily in the 2023 trendbook.
Trends going out of style
Shades of grey
Hardwood floors and carpets in shades of grey have been a regular feature for modern homes in recent years, however we’re now seeing a move towards warmer, cosier shades instead.
Orange hued floors
Whilst light and dark toned wood are turning heads, yellow and orange toned woods have fallen out of style. If you want to bring your wood floor up to date, either sand it down for a lighter look or stain it with a richer tone like mahogany. Not sure where to start?
