The following are flooring types trending in 2023. We\u2019ll take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of working with each material.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Laminate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nLaminate flooring is a synthetic flooring material consisting of a particle board wood layer, an image layer, and a transparent wear layer. It has been installed in millions of homes as a low-maintenance and dependable flooring option and a cost-effective alternative to hardwood. Laminate can be found in a wide variety of styles and finishes to match any decor style. A clear benefit of laminate is how easy it is to install, even for DIYers, with options for glue-down or snap-together installation. It is strong, durable, and scratch-resistant, making it a common choice in homes with children and pets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Laminate](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/9e26bf1d-fa8a-410c-b198-b3ba7a041e9c_GettyImages-1463674024.jpg\")
Laminate flooring is a low-maintenance, cost-effective alternative to hardwood, easy to install, and durable\u2014ideal for homes with children and pets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nLaminate does have some disadvantages. Unlike its synthetic competitor, vinyl, laminate is not suitable for areas with water and humidity. If exposed to excess moisture, it can cause permanent water damage or begin to grow mold. For this reason, laminate is often used in dryer areas of the home, like living areas, hallways, and bedrooms. Laminate flooring is also harder to finish than hardwood, meaning any damage to the floor will be more visible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Hardwood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nHardwood is easily one of the most sought-after flooring types for its natural beauty. Hardwood floors can come in many varieties of wood, from light, sandy tones to dark, rich tones, that create a natural warmth and coziness in the home. Hardwood floors are an excellent investment for the home. With proper care, including refinishing your floors every 10 years, your hardwood will last an entire lifetime without need of replacement. Hardwood floors can increase the value of your home and are a selling point for many homebuyers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Hardwood](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/00fd68a2-42cb-4899-9458-7d095bf02c20_2.jpg\")
Hardwood flooring is highly sought after for its natural beauty and durability, requiring proper care for a lifetime of use without replacement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nOne disadvantage of installing hardwood flooring is its sensitivity to moisture and humidity. In areas with high humidity, your hardwood floors can expand and contract, leaving gaps in between the boards. Ongoing exposure to moisture can also buckle and warp the wood, or even leave permanent stains in your floors. This makes it a challenging material for areas with high moisture, like bathrooms. In addition, hardwood is also more likely to gather scratches and scuffs from use, especially in darker shades of wood. Some homeowners install lighter wood tones specifically to hide the look of scratches over time. Another disadvantage of hardwood is the cost. Hardwood floors tend to be one of the more expensive flooring options, with a material cost between $3-$7 per square foot before installation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Luxury Vinyl<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nLuxury vinyl flooring is a synthetic manufactured material with a 3D photo layer, designed to authentically replicate the look of natural materials like wood and stone. Due to its synthetic makeup, luxury vinyl is 100% waterproof, making it an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas of the home like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements. It is highly durable and scratch resistant, so it\u2019s often used in high-traffic areas and homes with children and pets. What\u2019s more, luxury vinyl is incredibly easy to clean. It can be vacuumed and mopped with any type of common house cleaners without worrying about damaging or discoloring the material. Luxury vinyl tends to come in at a lower price point than wood or stone tile, making it a cost-effective option for homeowners.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"LX](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/b4663273-25ab-40a5-9b9e-25d5baf6cb6f_3lx.png\")

Its makeup includes resins, plastics, and other toxins that can be released into the air in the event of a house fire. It\u2019s also impossible to recycle or incinerate vinyl flooring once it is no longer in use. Luxury vinyl is still regarded as an economy flooring option so it will not add additional value to a home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Tile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nTile flooring refers to tiles that are typically made of stone, porcelain, or ceramic material, sealed together with grout. Tile is a popular option for kitchens and bathrooms because the material is naturally waterproof. Stone tile is highly durable, making it a great functional choice for indoor and outdoor home applications. Tile is also easy to clean and can last in a home for 20 or more years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Waterproof](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/sw_e1e0172a-1393-4b02-8d9d-687f7a9cb49a_GettyImages-1347032578-1024x765.jpg\")
Waterproof and durable tile flooring is a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms and lasts a long time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nOne disadvantage of tile is it tends to be a colder flooring material. In cooler climates, tile will feel notably more cold underfoot than options like hardwood or carpet. Some homeowners who like the look of tile install a heating system beneath their floors to combat this issue. Tile is also, on average, a more expensive flooring option than synthetic materials like vinyl. The grout in tile flooring requires regular sealing because it\u2019s a porous material, so it can be permeated by water and dirt and eventually crumble if not cared for.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Carpeting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nOne of the clearest advantages for installing carpet is the comfort it provides. Carpet is the softest flooring option on the market, making it an ideal choice for people and pets that need more foot support. Carpet increases the soundproofing of housing units, making it more comfortable for residences with multiple floors. When it comes to 2023 trends, area rugs, carpet tiles, and frieze carpets have been popular staples in many homes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Carpet](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/9694f722-1513-4a75-ab1f-318c149fb8de_5.jpg\")

Carpet needs to be thoroughly vacuumed on a regular basis to reduce the amount of debris kept in the home. Carpet is also prone to staining, making it harder to maintain a brand new look over time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Top 7 Home Flooring ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u25cf Bleached wood flooring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nWhile this style isn\u2019t new, it continues to pop up in home designs and trend reports for 2023. Bleached wood creates a bright, airy, and fresh look for your flooring. It\u2019s a way to update your hardwood flooring for modern styles, while still maintaining the classic look and benefits of hardwood.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
\u25cf Cerused wood flooring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nCerused wood is a way of finishing wood where a wire brush is used to clean out pores, before adding a sealer and colored wax. This process emphasizes the unique natural grain and texture, while muting the intensity of the wood\u2019s original color. Cerused wood tends to be seen in contemporary home design.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
\u25cf Aged wood flooring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nAged wood floors can often be found in rustic and craftsman style homes. They have been particularly on-trend over the last couple of years, with the resurgence of the cottage-inspired design style. Aged floors create a natural, warm feeling and evoke a sense of history. They pair well with antique furniture and earth tones.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
\u25cf Lighter, brighter wood flooring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nLighter, brighter wood flooring is a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. Lighter woods create a sense of calmness and are great options for coastal designs. They serve as a neutral backdrop for statement furniture pieces and wall patterns. To achieve this look, go for a white oak or walnut wood with a light finish.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"LX](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bfb9b008-6033-4277-acce-b909c0efb20c_6lx-887x1024.png\")

We\u2019re seeing graphic tiles in kitchens and bathrooms, in some cases with the tile extending all the way up a backsplash or wall.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
\u25cf Marble and stone look flooring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nElegant and regal home design has been a continuing trend, often inspired by the estates of western Europe. Homeowners have been adding marble and stone look flooring into their bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and fireplace areas to create a sophisticated atmosphere. Lighter, softer shades of marble have been particularly popular.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Elegant](\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/65f5cf84-27d0-43f3-994d-62febef64970_GettyImages-1407295974.jpg\")

One disadvantage of tile is it tends to be a colder flooring material. In cooler climates, tile will feel notably more cold underfoot than options like hardwood or carpet. Some homeowners who like the look of tile install a heating system beneath their floors to combat this issue. Tile is also, on average, a more expensive flooring option than synthetic materials like vinyl. The grout in tile flooring requires regular sealing because it\u2019s a porous material, so it can be permeated by water and dirt and eventually crumble if not cared for.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Carpeting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nOne of the clearest advantages for installing carpet is the comfort it provides. Carpet is the softest flooring option on the market, making it an ideal choice for people and pets that need more foot support. Carpet increases the soundproofing of housing units, making it more comfortable for residences with multiple floors. When it comes to 2023 trends, area rugs, carpet tiles, and frieze carpets have been popular staples in many homes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\nCarpet is the softest flooring material on the market, making it a great option for people and pets who need more foot support<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nOne of carpet\u2019s disadvantages is that it can trap dirt and allergens more than other flooring options. Carpet needs to be thoroughly vacuumed on a regular basis to reduce the amount of debris kept in the home. Carpet is also prone to staining, making it harder to maintain a brand new look over time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
