Flooring America/Flooring Canada created a 2021 Style Watch— a “floorcast” of this year’s top 10 most distinctive flooring trends. Cathey Gundlach, vice president of merchandising, CCA Global Partners, explains her favorites from the floorcast.
The color gurus at Pantone named Ultimate Gray as pick for color of the year, and this is true when it comes to flooring. Wide luxury vinyl planks with the natural appearance of authentic hardwood in shades of gray are hot this year. Not only for the look but for its durability and waterproof qualities that make it a great choice for laundry rooms, playrooms, and other areas of a home where accidents are likely to occur.
