Vinyl Flooring Layout & Pattern Trends

Vinyl has come a long way when it comes to looking authentic to hardwood or tile. Luxury vinyl wood-look planks look so realistic that it’s difficult to tell whether it’s vinyl or hardwood. The same goes for luxury vinyl tile… Many would say that the Carrara marble patterns look exactly like the actual marble. Having said that, people are getting ultra-creative when it comes to the layout of their floor. Patterns, angles, you name it. Of course, not all patterns are created equal. Let’s look at what’s hot right now.

Chevron & Herringbone Vinyl Floors

In the chevron pattern, the two planks are angled at the end to come together and form a perfect point. In the herringbone pattern (basically, the easier, more affordable chevron for flooring), planks are laid in a zigzag, but stacked on top of each other to create the “point” – this means less cutting, less labor and less wasted materials.

New, trendy chevron and herringbone flooring layouts typically use longer planks and add interest and depth to the eye.

This may not be the trend to do your entire home in. However, long entryways, hallways and bathrooms can look absolutely stunning.

This trend isn’t likely to last forever, but it sure looks pretty while it’s here.

Diagonal Vinyl Floors

Homeowners are changing things up by laying their vinyl flooring at an angle rather than straight on. This gives your floor (and home) a unique, expensive look.

It does cost more in materials (and often installation), but the outcome is dreamy, yet still uncommon enough to maintain its luster.

Can it still be a trend if it’s uncommon? We think so.

Yes, expect to see these angled vinyl floors every once in awhile for decades to come.  

Wide Plank & Large Tile Vinyl Floors

It’s no secret that larger planks and tiles make your room look bigger. These large tiles and planks look modern, elegant and expensive in any room in the home.

Are you thinking about jumping on board? Well, you should!

Manufacturers are only trending towards even wider and longer planks and bigger tiles. This trend will soon become a classic staple and will likely last the test of time.
