Flooring Trends Contractors Should Know in 2025

If you’ve been in the game a while, you know flooring styles change just like paint colors and cabinet finishes. What homeowners were asking for a few years ago (all gray everything) isn’t what they’re asking for now. In 2025, the focus is on durability, easy installs, and warm, natural looks.

Here’s what’s hot right now — and what you’ll probably be installing more of this year.

1. LVP Isn’t Going Anywhere

Luxury Vinyl Plank is still king. Clients love it because it looks like wood or stone, it’s waterproof, and it holds up to pets, kids, and heavy traffic. Contractors love it because installs are quick and clean. Win-win.

2. Eco-Friendly Options are Picking Up

More homeowners are asking about “green” products. Think bamboo, cork, reclaimed wood, or products with low-VOC finishes.

3. Bigger Planks & Bold Patterns

The skinny strips are out. Wide planks (7–9 inches) are the go-to now, especially in open layouts. And for clients who want to make a statement, herringbone, chevron, and patterned vinyl are popping up more and more.

4. Warm Tones are Back

Gray floors had a good run, but warmer colors are stealing the spotlight in 2025. Natural oak, honey, and walnut are the top picks right now. They’re versatile, timeless, and easier to match with furniture and finishes.

5. Durable Flooring for Everyday Life

More people are working from home and want flooring that can take a beating — office chairs, pets, kids, you name it. Hybrid products (a mix of laminate and vinyl) are trending because they’re tough and waterproof. In apartments and multi-family projects, soundproof underlayment is also a big ask.

6. Fast Install Systems

Click-and-lock tech keeps getting better, which means faster installs for you and fewer callbacks. Floating floors are the go-to over glue-down in most projects, saving time and labor.

The Bottom Line

Knowing what’s trending isn’t just about style — it helps you guide clients, close more bids, and keep jobs moving. In 2025, think LVP, eco-friendly, wide planks, warm tones, and quick installs.
