As we look forward to 2022, here are some of the flooring options which are set to be most popular.
Parquet flooring
Over the last few years, parquet flooring has become a firm favorite in interior design. Parquet flooring means wood (or imitation wood such as LVT) 
planks, which are laid in repeating patterns like squares, triangles and lozenges. Herringbone and chevrons patterns are the most common.
Parquet can easily be customised to give either a modern or classic look. It is more versatile and durable than traditional wood flooring as it has a top wear layer and 3 layers underneath that absorb impact.
For 2022, the trend is for parquet with planks of different widths. This eye catching look is gorgeous and has the environmentally friendly benefit of creating less waste, as the planks do not all have to be long.
The popular colours in parquet for next year will be cooler; basic grey and ‘greige’, a combination of grey and beige. These are easy to combine with both cool and warm coloured walls and furnishings.

Laminate
Thanks to advantages in technology, laminate has come a long way since it was first introduced in the 1970s. This tough flooring is made up of multiple layers with an inner core of fibre board
materials and melamine resin, an image layer and a transparent wear layer. It is both scratch and scuff resistant as well as being budget friendly, ideal for a busy family household.
Laminate flooring can imitate many different types of hardwood species, with a wide selection of grain and colour choices, at a much more affordable price than real hard wood. As it is such a durable and family friendly choice, its popularity has been steadily increasing.
Next year, we will see more semi-gloss laminate flooring. This has a gloss of 45-55% which gives a sleek, modern appearance. It is ideal for kitchen and bathroom areas and makes the room seem brighter.
Whitewashed and aged plank effects will be on-trend, giving the flooring more depth and character, without making it the dominant feature of the room.

Bleached wood
As the world becomes more aware of the need to be environmentally 
friendly, an emphasis on sustainability and natural products will feature heavily in interior design for the foreseeable future. The look is simple and natural, with a sense of outdoors in the home.
The latest twist is to have natural materials that have been treated to give them a more individual appearance, like bleached floors and smoked wood. This lighter colour is easy to match with the walls and furnishings, as it will complement both warm and cool colours.
If you like this colour but feel it might be a little cold for the winter, an area rug is a great way to provide warmth and save some wear and tear from the flooring.

Large patterned tiles
Large, shaped tiles are going to be on-trend in a big way. Whether it’s in the kitchen, bathroom or even living room, you’ll be seeing a 
lot more of this type of flooring. Patterns like hexagons and drips are gaining traction, as they give a great sense of character and individuality.
Large, stone effect tiles will continue to be in style. These can now be textured thanks to technology advantages, which gives the floor much more depth and visual appeal.
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and laminate are both ideal for these patterned tile looks. These versatile, durable flooring options are available at a variety of price points in a huge range of colours and finishes.
