Fall Flooring Trends: Fall in Love with Your Home This Season

Fall is in full swing in the Lowcountry with cooler temperatures that have everyone pulling out their favorite sweaters for nights around the bonfire, complete with a warm mug of apple cider. When we think of fall, we often think of changing leaves and back to school season, but that isn’t the only reason to anticipate autumn.

This is also one of the best times of year to update your flooring.

Think ahead to what the next few months hold, namely the start of the holiday season. Most of us are fortunate enough to welcome our loved ones into our home for the holidays whether that means opening presents on Christmas morning or carving a turkey for Thanksgiving. It’s the prime time to show off your home and new flooring can make a huge impact on how your space looks and feels.

As you start to think about a major floor refresh, here are some of the interior design trends that we see surfacing as we head into the last few months of 2024.

Shaw Expressions in Muse

One of the most prominent interior design trends surfacing is warmer tones that err more on the natural side. This Shaw Expressions in the color Muse is a frontrunner for our fall flooring trends with its wide planks, wire-brushed texture, and natural variation that homeowners adore about genuine hardwood floors. You can trust in the durable finish associated with the Shaw name brand for longevity in your flooring!

Norwood Hill Cottage Collection in Frappe

Looking for wood flooring on a budget? This engineered wood floor from Norwood Hill’s Cottage Collection in the color Frappe delivers durability, beauty, and style all in one convenient package. If you want the perfect backdrop for accent colors that pop, this floor has you covered. The warm color palette combined with the traditional look of an oak floor in a wide plank gives you a more modern twist on a timeless favorite.

LW Vintage Elegance in Aspendale

If character is what you want in a brand new wood floor, then look no further than LW’s Vintage Elegance in the color Aspendale. Featuring beautiful golden tones, this floor matches almost any color palette while still serving as a statement piece in its own right. You’ll get all the beauty of a natural wood product with knots and mineral streaks throughout this high-character wood floor, made even more visible with wide 7 ½-inch planks.

Mullican Castillian in Copper

Some homeowners might feel like their floor plan doesn’t lend itself to extra wide planks like the ones seen in LW’s Vintage Elegance collection. If you want the beauty of a floor with character but desire smaller planks, the Mullican Castillian in the color Copper is a good option with 6 inch widths. Complete with a thick wear layer that you could refinish in the future, this engineered wood floor feels too good to be true at this price point!

Johnson English Pub in Pilsner

Pretend that your home is in a real pub with Johnson’s English Pub collection in the color Pilsner. Featuring extra wide planks, wire-brushed texture, and warm orange undertones, this color from Johnson really hits all of the high notes when it comes to fall flooring trends. You get the beautiful variation of a hickory floor, another trend that is on the rise this autumn. Plus, hickory is one of the hardest domestic species of wood for added durability.

Density XL in Canyon

No list of fall flooring trends would be complete without mentioning a luxury vinyl plank option. While there is inherent beauty in a wood floor, LVP has its own claim to fame with more water-resistance coupled with some of the most durable finishes on the market. This selection from Density XL in the color Canyon gives ultra-wide 9-inch planks with a stunning walnut hue that mimics the look of a real wood floor. It hits the right spot in the budget too!
