Before you choose new flooring for you home there are a few developments in interior design trends you should consider. As new flooring is a considerable investment and you want to be sure you are making the right choices to improve not only the look, but the value of your home.

Laminate and Hybrid timber look flooring is the main choice for Melbourne homeowners and renovators when it comes to high traffic living and wet areas, and while carpet is still on top for bedrooms, Laminate and Hybrid is creeping in. It is also worth noting that wider style planks in matte and satin are clear winners over gloss finishes.

When it comes to resale-ability the color you chose is important, while light grey tones were on trend in years gone by, real estate agents are reporting only 10% of buyers liking homes with grey flooring. Natural warm earthy tones are definitely clear winners when it comes to buyers appeal, but it’s important to note that floors with too much red or orange can make a home look dated. Black Butt, Desert Oak, Spotted Gum, Merbau, Natural and Vintage Oak are some of the tones that are on trend. Ultimately the choice is yours to make, but if you consider some of these points you will make the right decision for your families lifestyle and increase the appeal and value of your home.
