From subtle, biophilic-inspired flooring to brighter, more confident statement designs, Amtico’s Lorna Williams explores the top five trends set to make a splash in flooring in self-builds next year.

The big design trend currently, and likely to sustain into 2025, is natural looks driven by biophilia, including in flooring. Woods and stones are set to take centre stage in 2025. Blend the realistic tones and textures of oak, granite and more with the practicality and durability of LVT to add warmth and biophilic beauty to any space. 

Bold colours & intricate designs

Following a year of ‘quiet luxury,’ 2025 is set to see a little more drama. We expect it to be a year for colour, experimentation, and intricate design. Statement flooring is the best way to add personality to the home so embrace those bright hues, rich tones and dark, contrasting borders. 

Exciting laying patterns

Statement laying patterns, like Herringbone, Chevron and Basket Weave, elevate the home by offering a more personal, artistic touch. Opting for patterned yet timeless flooring can help make your space feel more expansive, offering a dash of the ornate without feeling overwhelming. 

With 2025 set to be a year full of striking design, visually interesting laying patterns are ideal for classic and contemporary spaces alike. Balance bold accents with subtle touches for a stylish and well-rounded design.

Transitions & zoning

Transitions and zoning are a clever, architecturally-led way to make an impact in the home. With open plan living set to make its return in 2025, contrasting flooring and bold borders
are the way forward as they add character to any space. 

Defining different areas of the home with subliminal zoning and contrasting tones not only draws attention to focal points, such as archways, kitchen islands or conversational spaces, but helps to set the overall mood of a room. 

Contrasting inlays & motifs

Playful, imaginative and fun; words to live by for 2025. Get creative with contrasting inlays and statement motifs to inject a sense of joy into the home. Add a sense of vibrancy and playfulness with a motif, making your hallway a

focal point of the home, or combine colour with a clever border to draw attention to the shape of each room. Mix and match flooring to find your new 2025 style.

Moving into 2025, we expect to see laying patterns used to draw attention to key spaces, adding intricate details which give it that personal touch to finishing off your room beautifully. This year, it’s all about expressing personal creativity through design, adding your own finishing touches that make it feel special.
