Latest flooring trends for luxury vinyl

Currently, luxury vinyl flooring is continuing its climb up the 'popularity ladder.' This synthetic flooring that mimics natural materials is a homeowner favorite because it is durable and easy to maintain, plus its look is high-end. Luxury vinyl and pets go well together, and pet-friendly warranties back some brands. Bixby Plaza Carpets and Flooring in Huntington Beach and Los Alamitos, California, carries full luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile lines.

Looks

Homeowners most commonly choose Wood-look LVP and stone-look LVT. New printing and photographic technologies ensure that both natural materials are realistically replicated. Decorative and ceramic look luxury vinyl flooring is also available.

Texturing

While texturing can be added to stone-look LVT, this technique is particularly desirable when enhancing wood-look flooring. Texturing is random unless you choose Embossed in Register, or EIR, luxury vinyl. With this premium LVP, texturing is matched to the wood grain.

Layouts and sizes

You can heighten visual interest by installing planks in a pattern such as a herringbone, 1- or 2-color weave, diagonal, or 2- or 3-color stagger. Or opt for planks in unconventional widths or tiles in non-traditional shapes and sizes. Large-format tiles and hexagon tiles are trendy.

Colors

Whitewashed LVP, a homeowner favorite, is available in coastal, farmhouse, rustic, and antique designs. Light and dark, as opposed to a traditional medium, plank stains are fashionable at this time—popular stones like marble and granite mirror this preference.
