Mississauga’s Laminate Flooring Trends Are Hotter Than Ever
Laminate flooring continues to be one of the most in-demand flooring options available due to its versatility, durability, and resemblance to high end finishes such as hardwood and stone. In fact, as a result of advancements in technology, laminate flooring is rapidly gaining popularity amongst homeowners and is now considered one of the best ways to increase the value of your home. Unlike the laminate of the past, which was considered cheap and unrealistic, today’s laminate is incredibly hardwearing, realistic, and innovative in design. The following laminate flooring trends are hotter than ever in Mississauga.
Trending Colours
This year, both extremely light and extremely dark laminate flooring is in demand. Dark/espresso is one of the most popular choices for individuals who prefer a darker finish, while gray, blonde, honey, and even whitewashed laminate is popular amongst those interested in a lighter finish. For those who can’t chose between these two vastly different looks, high variations are another popular choice, which seamlessly mixes the two trends, combining extremely light and extremely dark planks.
Trending Looks
Although smooth floors are classic and are therefore always in style, this year, more and more customers are expressing an interest in a more lived in or worn look. As a result, handscraped and rustic laminate is one of the most popular looks, as are the weathered, distressed, and reclaimed looks. Rather than opting for smooth and shiny flooring with few imperfections, many customers are now asking for laminate flooring with character. To achieve this look, they are selecting planks with knots, scrapes, burns, and variation in colour. In addition, reclaimed wood has quickly gained popularity due to a growing interest in recycling materials. While laminate itself is not made from reclaimed wood, it is now made in a way which closely resembles reclaimed wood or distressed hardwood.
