In 2007, hard surface floorings dominate the market. Hardwood, laminate and tile have never been more popular and this trend does not look like it will be going away anytime soon. Homeowners enjoy the classic, timeless appearance of these surfaces and the fact that dirt and spills can be easily mopped or swept away. Within the hard surface category, there are several new trends. One is that of distressed flooring with its unique aged look-it is available in both hardwood and laminate designs. Another new trend is an interest in renewable surfaces such as bamboo. Both of these trends should continue into 2008 with the addition of new colors, textures and designs.
On the softer side of flooring, carpets have also followed the texture trend. Textured carpets that are soft and luxurious are extremely popular. Homeowners like the fact that they do not show sheen or traffic patterns and are easy to keep clean. Carpet color trends also continue to stay with neutral shades, as they have for the past few years. Look for additional texture options available in 2008, along with a high demand for quality area rugs to soften up some of the hard surface areas of the home.
