Luxury vinyl trends: wood, stone, and tile look-alikes

Luxury vinyl flooring follows all industry trends with incredible true-to-life wood, stone, tile images, and countless functional benefits. As a result, it's one of the least expensive ways to refresh and transform your home, and your imagination only limits you.

Here’s what’s hot in each industry it mimics:

Wood: Gray, whitewashed, and light wood looks, such as blond, honey, caramel, etc., have come into vogue, but that doesn't eliminate the popularity of darkest dark colors. Patterned woods and textures are also trending.

Stone: Distinctive veining, earthy neutrals with travertine and slate stones, not to mention a classic like marble, are extremely popular this year.

Tile: Colorful splashes of color and bold designs such as circles, diamonds, and geometrics are all the rage, as well as the classics like herringbone and chevron patterns.

Stylish savings

Luxury vinyl flooring is a thicker, more advanced version of the original product, created with high-definition photography, embossing, and micro beveling. 

Realistic look and feel

It is so realistic, sometimes even the flooring experts have difficulty telling that from the real thing, but you won't pay nearly the same price.

Vibrant patterns and formats

While all vinyl comes with vibrant patterns, vinyl planks are cut into long boards to mimic hardwood, called LVP floors (luxury vinyl plank). They also are cut into square, tile-sized squares called LVT, which mimic natural stone.

Waterproof and low maintenance

Luxury vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof, whether submerged or spilled on, and is 8-mm 12-mm in thickness with a top transparent melamine wear layer that measures separately and protects the floor from scratches and scuffs. 

In addition, it's low maintenance, needing only regular sweeping and periodic mopping, and has an uncomplicated installation, especially when installed as a floating floor.
