When it comes to flooring, “warm” was the word at The International Surface Event held earlier this year in Las Vegas. The last few years have seen a warming up of colors in wood-look flooring, with midtones now dominating new collections of hardwood, laminate and luxury vinyl planks. The collections still have plenty of blonde choices, along with a few gray and dark brown options, but for the most part the grays that are showing up have brown undertones, replacing the cool hues of several years ago. And these days, plank surfaces tend to be more textured and rougher-hewn than shiny and super-smooth.
For those who prefer stone, there are plenty of new looks in natural stone as well as imitation marble, concrete, limestone and travertine, which are getting ever more realistic.
Here are flooring highlights from the Surfaces event, as the trade show for the tile, stone and floor coverings industries is known. Some of the new collections are available now and others will be rolling out through 2026.
