Flooring is a major concern in the home construction process. It sets the room’s tone, determines the personality the building will take, and provides comfort under your feet. The market offers countless flooring options to homeowners; however, some materials have maintained their popularity over the decades. Despite this, keeping track of the latest flooring trends and implementing them in your upcoming floor renovation does not hurt.

From wood to carpet, Melbourne interior designers recommend these top 10 transformational flooring tips, tricks, and ideas:

10. Consider the Herringbone Style

Older flooring styles keep reappearing in 2023’s interior design trends. You can make herringbone and chevron part of your indoor flooring, especially in the kitchen, dining room, and other common areas. The pattern created will make your floor stand out with its mesmerising zigs and zags.

9. Consider 3D Flooring

Resin floors have gained massive popularity over the past three years. Unlike all other floor types, these add a new dimension to the floor. You can choose mind-blowing and realistic designs to set your home apart from others in the neighbourhood. Leaves, underwater scenes, and nature are common themes when jazzing up flooring with 3D effect designs. 

8. Go for Classic Designs

Going classic makes it into almost any flooring makeover guide, and for good reason: it never completely goes out of style. The grand European home style that dominated most of the past century is slowly returning to the market through classic floor designs. Monochrome patterns are an excellent choice for floors. They incorporate the Victorian-era mood into your interior décor, giving the home a unique classic elegance.

7. Recreate a Reclaimed Floor Look

Reclaimed styles have taken centre stage in interior décor for the past year and the start of this year. You can easily recreate the look by giving your wooden floorboards a salt lick. Plain white floorboards will instantly lift the mood of any room you install them in and reflect more light. 

6. Get Ceramic Tiles That Imitate Wood

Wooden floors are a classic choice, but they are often prone to damage from moisture, mould, and mildew. If you want the classic look but need more time to be ready for extensive maintenance, choose ceramic tiles that mimic wood. They are available in various colours and innovative designs that add a pop to your overall personality. 

5. Achieve an Industrial Look With Vinyl

Industrial looks are in for commercial and residential spaces. Adding vinyl to concrete softens it and makes the surface kinder to the feet. When going with this option, ensure the installation contractor seals the floor correctly to avoid moisture damage. 

4. Consider Contemporary Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring is a style to choose when you want to add a splash of colour to your indoor spaces. You can select a design that adds colour throughout the home or splashes of colour to different corners of the house. Parquet flooring is playful and laid back, which lightens the overall mood inside the house. 

3. Go for Large Flagstone

Considered using special floor types for the parts of the home that see increased moisture and humidity, like the kitchen and bathroom. Natural stone slabs are perfect for such areas as they are hard-wearing and don’t easily succumb to moisture damage, especially when sealed. 

2. Bring the Outside In

A recent architectural trend involves creating a seamless transition between a home’s indoor and outdoor spaces. Contractors achieve this by using sliding doors and connecting the outdoor patio to the den or living room with a continuous flooring pattern. Even with the doors closed, having the same flooring material for the indoors and patio will create a sense of the spaces being projected outdoors and larger. 

1. The Classic Wall-to-Wall Carpet

It is 2023, and carpeting still tops the list for best flooring designs. Carpet is soft on your feet, warm, and muffles noise from the feet. There are countless colours, patterns, and pile depths to choose from when you shop for carpets online or in stores. Working closely with an interior designer can help install a seamless and elegant wall-to-wall carpet throughout your home.
