Hardwood and vinyl flooring are still significantly popular as a flooring material for high traffic areas, but colour trends are shifting into honey tones and a mix of grey and beige called “griege.” More homeowners are embracing a blonde and bleached wood look for a natural chic feel, especially in kitchens highlighting a comfortable farmhouse style. Whitewashed griege floors typically show the appearance of authentic aging and wear.
Carpet – Soft Sleepy Tones and Artistic Trends

Carpet remains popular for bedrooms for soft and warm qualities on bare feet. Carpet adds to the quiet of a home, especially in those sensitive mornings and evenings when family members are just waking up, or winding down to sleep. Carpet can be installed over in-floor heating, and is easier to clean than ever, with new coatings highly resistant to stains. Colour trends in carpets for bedrooms are soft easy colours, neutral tones and light greige to accommodate a peaceful atmosphere. For great rooms and in-home office areas, area carpets are trending in a different direction this year. Artistic patterns, both geometric and free styles cover new and updated floors in the Okanagan, lending energetic moods to the room.
Tiles – Natural Tones and Craftsman Styles

Soft white, grey and natural tones dominate tile design, but home decorators keen for setting a new standard are beginning to shift into decorative patterns. Vintage black and white flooring is back, especially in bathrooms where solid white cabinets, tubs, and shower enclosures contrast for smart looking rooms. Craftsman styles are back in vogue with softer tones than their artsy predecessors. Look for tile series with colour palettes to offset white appliances. Another benefit for tile lovers, are creative installation techniques, where patterns continue up walls, balancing borders, and colours from the floor.
