The top hardwood flooring trends for 2018 are so easy on the eyes! You’re going to love to hear that hardwood floors remain ever popular. Because of their durability and long wear, homeowners remain in love with hardwood flooring this year.

Here are those top trends.

GREY IS OUT, GREIGE IS IN

Grey floors are losing popularity. Greige is overtaking the flooring industry. Because it’s slightly warmer than grey, it’s easier to work into your design.

DARK, RICH COLORS COME OUT ON TOP

Just as in 2017, designers prefer dark over light colors. Because of their rich tones, they add a comforting warmth to any room.

SKIP THE CHEVRON PATTERNS AND CREATE CLEAN LINES

2016 and 2017 brought us chevron floors. Homeowners are falling out of love with these patterns and are returning to long, clean lines.
