Flooring Trends This Fall

Exciting things are happening with flooring in the design world. New flooring is easier to care for and longer lasting than ever before. Following are three fun design trends for flooring this fall.

1. Distress Your Nest

Distressed flooring is one of the hottest trends in the design industry today. Hand-scraped wood adds so much character and beauty to a home that you might be tempted to forgo furniture completely.

2. Go Green

Environmental flooring options are appealing not only for their earth-friendliness, but also for their character. A few fresh new materials to consider:

• Cork is a renewable material, as trees don't have to be cut down to harvest it. It's durable and fire-retardant and can be painted or stained just like wood.
• Bamboo is a fast-growing grass, making it another renewable option. It has loads of character and comes in a variety of colors and styles.
• Concrete is no longer relegated to sidewalks. It's a low-impact material that can be polished, painted or tinted, and poured into any design you can imagine.

3. A Tile by Any Other Name

Photo-imaging techniques have dramatically altered the look of tile, giving you colors and textures that have to be seen to be believed. If you want the look of wood, marble, stone or brick with the durability and affordability of tile, you'll be delighted at the options available to you.
