Flooring Design Overview
Thinking about this season's most sought out flooring design? Perhaps your inner artist is craving a new feel. Interior design has many style elements that are at play. 
Shop The Collection From cozy palettes imbued in earthy neutrals to monochromatic shades with sleek detailing—there are many ways to incorporate your personality and desired preference into one of the most important sections of any home space. However, opting for a trendsetting floor design could work for a certain period, but nothing beats a timeless classic that's versatile and reliable.
Nature Inspired Designs For Timeless Elegance
There’s a reason why earth-based tones seem to never go out of style. Warmer shades of oak, terracotta, caramel, and rich browns give a sense of tranquility. These types of floors are meant to make us feel cocooned into a cozy nook, making this design ideal for bigger homes that need a more inviting aesthetic. From a visual perspective, hardwood floors are an excellent way of adding texture and depth to any room.
One of our favorite recommendations that perfectly achieves this style can be found in our ADURA Luxury Vinyl collections. These bestselling floors feature waterproof constructions and realistic wood detailing with knot variations for added visual interest. Crafted with eye-catching materials, this flooring offers additional bonuses like scratch-resistant wear layers and microban antimicrobial protection to safeguard the floors from bacterial growth.
Shop Luxury VinylYour floor is a statement piece of its own, so going for a cleaner, more contemporary vibe is just as desirable as its nature-inspired counterpart. Moving away from the rustic views and embracing a minimalist layout adds character to any space—elevating your home for a more streamlined look. Its dramatic effect is nuanced by its subtle sense of sophistication, an effortless aesthetic that’s both timeless and trendy. Complementing this style of flooring with furniture can be extremely satisfying, especially if your home is decorated with a lot of glass, metal, or ceramic.
Stylish Options That Rival Hardwood
Hardwood for the majority of the time is the most desired choice. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVT) on the other hand often mimics the look of solid hardwood and is known for its waterproof benefits when it comes to installing it in kitchens and bathrooms. Both options offer a myriad of palettes, designs, and textures that can easily rival its more costly competitor. In addition, while hardwood floors are excellent selections for living rooms, there’s a very specific reason why carpets are the most desired when it comes to bedrooms.
Beach Bliss: The Nautical Inspired Aesthetic
When it comes to carpets, light-toned hues not only give a refreshing feel to your home but can add a sense of calmness to your surroundings. Think of ocean mists, driftwood finishes, and sandy accents that give off a relaxed luxury feeling. People seek serenity when they enter their bedroom, so the mindfulness of these types of palettes maintains a greater appreciation for harmony and balance. Beaches are also associated with traveling or taking a vacation, so for those seeking an oasis inside their own home—this style could be just what you’re looking for.
A great place to start is with our Stanton Carpets, a collection celebrated for its remarkable versatility and stunning array of designs. For homeowners drawn to the soothing charm of a coastline, Stanton offers a bestselling lineup of eye-catching, feet-approved textures inspired by sun-soaked shores and rolling waves. Layered throughout a home, these designs bring the breezy elegance of the seaside indoors.
Shop Stanton Carpets For those who prefer a softer interpretation of these sea-inspired hues, Stanton also offers artisanal colorways that lean toward weathered stone tones rather than sandy dunes, lending spaces a refined, coastal sophistication. Whether the vision is a vibrant nautical retreat or a stone-washed sanctuary, Stanton provides the versatility to bring any coastal aesthetic to life.
Bonus Carpet Tip:
Any cozy sanctuary needs softness and warmth. When it comes to comfort, the sensation of walking barefoot on the carpet is unmatched (we all know this blissful feeling). But also, carpets tend to be quieter, being less susceptible to echoes or vibrations.
Depending on the type of brand, the quality of the padding can provide cushioning for those who need more therapeutic ways of moving around the house. Perhaps the one benefit that’s often overlooked is that hardwood can be durable when it comes to scratches from pets or children, but carpets are less slippery, making it a safer choice for some.
