As you know, trends come and go. And we understand that while throw pillows and artwork can be donated or discarded, hardwood flooring is harder to do so with. So, with the year already in full swing, we decided to break down the hardwood flooring trends of 2022 that are here to stay.

 

Bold Designs and Color Palettes

Reminiscent of the eye-catching designs that were common throughout the 70s, bold interiors are making a strong comeback in 2022 and in the years to follow.

In fact, a fast-growing number of interiors are already choosing to feature striking pops of color, unconventional patterns, as well as varying and even clashing textures.

And what does this look like for hardwood flooring? Well, with custom flooring designs including Herringbone and Chevron Parquet, as well as with eye-catching flooring shades.

 

Historical Influences

The beauty of the past is coming alive once again. Many design experts have deemed integrating antiques and classical elements a 2022 design must-have. But how does that apply to flooring?

Well, natural flooring colors are one way to do so. While stains and finishes did exist in antiquity, it was often easiest to just lay a flooring plank down and call it a day. To revitalize this look within your own home, opt for natural tones and lots of texture.

 

Nature-Inspired Finishes

With more time than ever being spent in our homes due to the pandemic, it’s important to bring the outside in. And there’s no better way than with hardwood.

You can do this with hardwood by integrating shades of brown or tan with organic, natural textures. And to add a bit more to this look within your home, feature lots of plants among your other decor.

Sustainable Elements

Perhaps the most important home design and hardwood flooring trend for 2022 is incorporating sustainable materials.

Thankfully, Garrison Collection makes it easy for you to do that. We take great pride in helping to maintain replenished forests and select only the strongest, healthiest logs for our hardwood collections while also planting new trees to compensate for harvested plants.
