Luxury Vinyl Tile Leans into Warmth & Intricacy
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is evolving with elevated, natural styles and rich colors. European White Oak has been heavily desired and is now seeing an upgrade with even richer textures and finishes as emerging technology offers more realism than ever before.
Light & Spacious
Colors in LVT have become brighter and planks wider, providing openness. Consumers are not seeking out darker hues but are leaning towards brighter, warmer colors to accentuate their style choices. Additionally, wider and longer planks have grown in popularity as they give spaces a more seamless and expansive look. Also, the shift towards natural woods seems to stem from the consumer desire to reconnect with nature and bring the outdoors in.
Character Matters
The current design trends in LVT are seeing a shift towards warmer, neutral tones with distinct detail and character. There is a preference in the market for designs that showcase more character, such as wood grain patterns and textures that highlight the natural beauty of wood. These changes are largely driven by consumers spending more time at home and wanting to create a warmer, more inviting atmosphere in their living spaces. LVT is also seeing more pressed beveled edges, adding realism to the floor. Additionally, there is a growing preference for textures that enhance the tactile experience, such as hand-scraped wood grains.
Set on Stone
In addition to wood looks, realistic and high-end stone visual are trending. LVT products that mimic natural stones such as marble, slate and sandstone with impressive detail are capturing attention. These stone-like tiles offer the sophisticated appearance of real stone without the high maintenance or cost, making them a practical yet elegant choice. Advancements in technology allow suppliers to replicate the look and feel of limestone, marble and other natural materials in a beautifully realistic way and provide the everyday practicality of LVT.
