Our trend analysis team has put together a collection of home flooring trends for 2023, and most of them are related to the need to connect the outdoors with the indoors. This is seen in an increase in the use of natural or naturally inspired materials, which help us to create these environments in our homes.

Whether you are selecting the finishes for your latest home renovation or you are putting together a new build, choosing the flooring is one of the most important decisions that you will be faced with. In this article we will help you on that mission, and it is safe to say that light and wooden tones are definitely in this year.

Multifunctional homes

Home life has changed over the last few years. Before the pandemic, we spent most of the day out of the house and hardly enjoyed any time there. We used to come home at night to just eat and relax, but everything else, we did elsewhere.

Since having to stay home, we learned just how many things we could actually do there and started to rediscover some previously forgotten spaces.  We started to spend more time in all our rooms, which dramatically increased home improvements, furniture sales, and home decor.

In March 2020, our homes became our offices, gyms, schools, restaurants, beauty salons, games rooms, and more. This  meant that we had to reconfigure our spaces to adapt them to our new way of life that allowed us to enjoy our homes more. Now we have deeply engrained new customs and lifestyle habits.

Two of the spaces that have seen the most transformation over the last few years are our kitchens and bathrooms, as both of these are vitally important to our daily lives and in many homes they were in need of an update in terms of design and practicality.

Bathrooms are center stage in 2023

Bathrooms have long been forgotten spaces in our homes in terms of design and decor, but in the last few years they became our own private spas, where we could pamper ourselves, wind down, and relax… That’s why bathroom renovations have increased dramatically and much attention is being paid to their design.

These are the bathroom flooring trends that will be seen in 2023:

  • Highly characteristic marble flooring: this material is a must when it comes to bathrooms. It gives a sense of elegance and luxury to a space and makes us feel as if we were in a fancy hotel, without having to leave the house. At Cosentino we have Scalea, a range of wonderful natural stones with endless possibilities in terms of colors, finishes, shapes, and sizes. Due to its porosity, natural stone requires special care and maintenance when it comes to stains, unlike other innovative surfaces with marble finishes that we have available, such as Silestone or Dekton.

 

  • Neutral naturally inspired tones: if there is one thing we want from a bathroom it is to be able to relax and disconnect from the outside world, which is why neutral tones are the perfect choice. They give a sense of serenity and peace, and perfectly and timelessly combine with natural materials such as wood and raffia. Beige, sand, cement, and cream colors all follow this trend.

 

  • Large format floor and wall tiles: large format floor and wall tiles are the latest trend in interior design. Materials such as Dekton and Silestone, which combine the beauty of natural stone with high quality physical properties, allow for continuously smooth surfaces to be created with minimal joints thanks to their large format, making them more hygienic with an overall clean design and finish.

 

  • Wood inspired materials: natural materials such as wood or bamboo are ideal when it comes to adding a touch of quality to your bathroom and achieving that sought after natural finish. However, in spaces with so much humidity, it is best to use water resistant materials with a wooden inspired design to prevent these materials from suffering from wear and tear over time.

 

A perfect option is Dekton Valterra, a color that takes its inspiration from natural wood patterns, with a color range from cream to red and every shade of brown in between.

Kitchen flooring trends in 2023

Kitchens are becoming ever more prominent, setting the trend for the rest of the home. They are spaces that we spend most of our time in when at home, whether it be cooking, eating, hosting, doing homework with the kids, or working. The reality is that our kitchen is where memories are made, and it must be designed accordingly.

This space has also been subject to a lot of renovations since 2020 and we have seen several trends related to kitchen flooring:

 

  • Sustainable materials: these are a trend and now a necessity when it comes to construction. Just as in other areas, we all want to consume consciously and select durable and high quality materials that withstand the passing of time without losing any of their esthetics or qualities.

 

At Cosentino, we have been working for years to ensure that our products are pioneers when it comes to sustainability, and we have made sure they are. Dekton is our ultracompact, high performance surface made from highly resistant minerals. Its main features are its high scratch, stain, and temperature resistance. It is also highly resistant to impact, abrasion, and changing temperatures, and does not absorb water. This means it is ideal for both indoor and outdoor flooring. It is also a sustainable material, as it is the only surface on the market with a Carbon Neutral certificate throughout its life cycle.

Silestone is the most advanced and sustainable surface on the market thanks to HybriQ, our proprietary technology which allows us to create a new combination of high performance premium minerals and recycled materials, such as glass, with the same quality standards as traditional Silestone, all with a production process that is powered by renewable electric energy and recycled water. It is perfect for indoor kitchen finishes thanks to its high resistance to impacts, scratches, and stains, as well as being very easy maintenance.

 

  • Neutral colors for a minimalist look: minimalist “monoblock” kitchens are on trend thanks to their elegance and simplicity. Just one color is used for the fittings and finishes, combining these with neutral flooring colors, such as beige, sand, cement gray… Some of the neutral tones we suggest for kitchen flooring are Dekton Lunar,  Dekton Albarium, and Dekton Nacre. The texture and neutrality of the color prevent stains and marks being seen.

 

  • Wood inspired flooring for homes: just as in the bathroom, wood is a commonly used material both for kitchen fittings and flooring. Once again, Dekton Valterra is ideal for any space, relieving you of any concerns you may have about humidity or impacts and always maintaining that warm woody feel.

 

Overall, we would say that for 2023 naturally inspired neutral and warm colors are in and are best combined with shades of green and blue. The aim is to bring nature into our homes and connect the indoors with the outdoors.

Both in the kitchen and bathroom, wooden inspired flooring, light tones, and cement are on trend, creating easy to clean and resistant large format surfaces.
