Design Trends: Warm Tones to Make Your Home Cozy

Gone are the days of grey in interior design. As all design trends cycle and change over the years, it seems that warmer tones and colors are making a serious comeback. They make any room feel instantly cozy, intimate, and welcoming. The right tone will tie together the threads of your interior design, making your guests feel like you are welcoming them in with open arms.

Not to mention, the color palettes that are trending aren’t exclusive to those with massive rooms and huge open floor plans. Feel free to jump in even if you have a relatively small space because warm doesn’t necessarily mean dark.

Not sure how to make warm tones work in your home?

We have put together some of our favorite flooring samples for you to consider. These floors are perfect for any home that wants to warm up their living spaces, whether for a living room or even a bedroom. Better yet, we’ve put together a list of both wood and vinyl so that you have options, no matter what your application.

Denali Cherokee in Pigeon Forge

Homeowners in search of the perfect wood floor that will weather the times will want to take a second look at Denali’s Cherokee collection in the color Pigeon Forge. These floors feature a very luxurious wide plank look with widths that top eight inches. Plus, their premium construction features a thick wear layer on this engineered wood floor which means you could refinish it in the years ahead.

LW Traditions Acacia Natural

Can’t make the decision between light and dark flooring? This natural acacia floor from LW gives you the best of both worlds. Acacia naturally has a swirling pattern of lights and darks that allow you to draw inspiration from both shades. Their Traditions floors feature a modest five inch plank perfect for smaller rooms. Make a bold statement with your floors while still getting the perks of a floor with plenty of warm tones to make it feel inviting rather than intimidating.

LW Sonoma Valley in Sherry

If you want a floor that looks custom and high-end without the headache of sand and finish work, look no further than LW’s Sonoma Valley in the color Sherry. This floor features unique random width sizes that spice up a large, open room. The character in this floor makes it look aged from the moment it comes out of the box. It will be filled with big, beautiful knots and black fill marks that make it ideal for a shabby chic design.

Triangulo Brazilian Teak

Exotic hardwoods give you a look like nothing else on the market today. Triangulo is known for responsible sourcing and harvesting of their premium wood floors. This particular style shows the extra wide planks which come in at a stunning seven and a half inches with a satin finish. Brazilian teak is one of the hardest species of wood around for added durability. You can also get Brazilian teak in smaller plank widths from the same company.

LW Riverstone in Citrine Oasis

LW has lots of options for homeowners who want a warm-toned floor, including this vinyl option. The Riverstone in the color Citrine Oasis is one of the lightest floors on this roundup, but it still has all of the gorgeous warmth of the darker colors. This luxury vinyl plank floor has both lights and darks, making it ideal for smaller rooms where you are worried they might feel too claustrophobic. It also has beautiful wide planks so that you get to see more of the pattern of this floor with a seven inch wide face.

Windlass Sirius in Larkspur

With the widest width on this roundup, the Windlass Sirius in the color Larkspur tops the charts with the stunning visual of nine-inch planks. The luxury vinyl floor is perfect for homeowners who want something darker with an inviting color and the added durability of water-resistant flooring. Like the LW Sonoma Valley, this floor has some texture to it that makes it look aged right out of the box, perfect for farmhouse or shabby chic décor.

Artisan Edge in Caspian

Many homeowners love the swirling grain and warm, chocolate hues of American Walnut, but it doesn’t always stand the test of time. Enter the Artisan Edge in the color Caspian: a luxury vinyl plank option that mimics the look of American Walnut. The seven-inch planks featured here give you plenty of space to see that swirl of lights and darks, sure to warm up any room. Caspian gives you the elegance and sophistication with added durability, scratch-resistance, and hardness that is hard to come by in a traditional American Walnut wood floor.
