2025 Flooring Trends: What’s Hot Underfoot This Year
At CQ Floors, we’ve had our eyes (and feet!) on the latest flooring styles making waves in 2025. Whether you’re planning a full remodel or just updating a single room, staying ahead of the trends can help your space feel fresh, modern, and inviting.
Here are some of the top flooring trends we’re seeing right now across San Diego County:
1. Wide Plank Hardwood
Bigger is better when it comes to wood flooring. Wide planks (6″ and up) give rooms a more open, seamless look. Light oak tones, especially with a matte finish, continue to dominate — perfect for that airy, coastal California vibe.
2. Laminate that Looks Like the Real Deal
Laminate has come a long way — and in 2025, it’s practically indistinguishable from entry-level hardwood. It’s durable, with many waterproof options, and budget-friendly, making it ideal for busy households, especially with kids or pets.
3. Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Choices
More homeowners are asking about eco-conscious flooring. Options like bamboo, cork, and responsibly sourced hardwoods are gaining popularity, along with low-VOC finishes that support healthier indoor air quality.
4. Patterned Tile Floors
Tile is stepping into the spotlight — literally. Think bold patterns, encaustic-inspired designs, and creative layouts like herringbone or checkerboard. Great for kitchens, bathrooms, or entryways if you want to make a statement.
5. Warm, Earthy Tones
Cool grays are taking a back seat as warmer tones come in. Natural browns, soft beiges, and clay-inspired hues are trending in everything from wood to carpet, bringing a cozy, grounded feeling to homes.
6. Textured Carpet & Rugs
Carpet is back — but with a twist. Textured weaves and low-pile styles in neutral shades offer softness without sacrificing style. They’re great for bedrooms and family rooms, adding comfort and warmth.
