Flooring Trends 2025

Flooring Trends 2025

Flooring is one of the heavy lifters of interior design. Not only does it set the tone for the entire space, but it has to be practical, functional and stand up to everything that is, quite literally, thrown at it.

And for those homeowners considering an upgrade as we head towards the new year, wood floor specialists Woodpecker Flooring share their insight into what will be big in 2025.

Here Woodpecker Flooring Managing Director Darwyn Ker picked his top five trends to look out for as we head into 2025:

 

Colour: Warm, Earthy Tones

Homes are a sanctuary, and warm flooring sets the tone perfectly. As we head into 2025, homeowners are looking to richer shades to bring a sense of tranquillity to their space.

Darwyn said: “There’s been a strong consumer shift towards natural, calming interiors that bring depth and comfort to the home.

“Wooden flooring in earthy tones, such as rich walnuts, honeyed browns, and soft oak shades, embodies this movement, adding a sense of serenity and grounding that consumers seek for a balanced home environment.”

Darwyn recommends: Berkeley Burnt Oak Engineered Wood Flooring – £123 per m2

 

Pattern: Herringbone and Chevron

In 2025 classic herringbone and chevron patterns provide a sense of structured elegance, making smaller spaces feel curated and luxurious.

Darwyn said: “Patterns like herringbone and chevron add visual interest without overwhelming a space.

“Plus, homes are working harder with multifunctional spaces more commonplace than ever before. Combine pattern with straight boards to zone rooms subtly.”

Darwyn recommends: Highclere Feather Oak Engineered Wood Flooring – £118 per m2

 

Finish: Natural and Matte

High-gloss finishes are giving way to natural, matte finishes that feel closer to raw wood and reduce light reflection, creating a softer and more organic look.

Darwyn said: “Our love affair with biophilia shows no sign of abating and homeowners are looking for authenticity.”

Darwyn recommends: Chepstow Washed Oak Engineered Wood Flooring – £134 per m2

 

Style: Wide Plank Flooring:

Wide planks, showcasing the natural grain of wood, will be – quite literally – huge in 2025.

Darwyn said: “Wide planks create an organic, unbroken flow that makes rooms appear more expansive and connected to nature. This style has become a popular choice for open-plan living spaces, which continue to be popular as we enter 2025.”

Darwyn recommends: Chepstow Washed Oak Engineered Wood Flooring (240mm) – £155 per m2

 

And Finally: Sustainable Wood Choices

With sustainability a top priority for consumers, sustainably-sourced wood is more than just a design choice; it’s a lifestyle commitment.

Darwyn said: “At Woodpecker, all our wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests and is fully certified. But so important is the legacy we leave for future generations, we have created our own Woodpecker Forest of Tomorrow where we have planted 50,000 oak saplings over 200 acres of beautiful countryside.”
