Flooring isn’t just the surface we walk on—it’s the canvas for every room’s story. In 2025, flooring is stepping into the spotlight, bringing back nostalgic trends from modern elegance, and comfort. If you’re ready to revamp your space and make it unforgettable, these five flooring trends will inspire your next project.
1. Nostalgic Kitsch aka ‘Kitschens’
Nostalgia takes center stage as kitchens blend vintage charm with modern functionality. This trend celebrates the quirky and heartwarming aesthetics of the decor from the 1940s to the 1960s, enhanced with maximalist details like textures and patterns that include terrazzo, gingham accents, bobbin detailing and cafe curtains.
Kitsch kitchens also take on a palette of soft, muted colors such as blush pink, sage green, and cream to evoke warmth and coziness. Textures and patterns that include gingham accents, bobbin detailing, and café curtains.
Why It Works
Nostalgic kitchens remind us of simpler times, creating spaces where cooking and gathering feel comforting and familiar. This style pairs beautifully with rustic or reclaimed flooring, adding authenticity to the design.

3. Soft, curved shapes and nesting spaces
2025 interiors are all about comfort and flow, and the curved shapes trend fits the bill perfectly. Think rounded furniture, arched doorways, and soft lines that create a soothing, organic feel. Nesting spaces—those small, cozy corners perfect for reading, meditating, or simply unwinding—are key to this trend.
Why it works
Curved designs and nesting spaces bring a sense of calm and balance to our homes. They soften the often rigid lines of modern architecture and make spaces feel inviting and intimate. The right flooring can enhance this natural flow, creating the perfect grounding for these serene designs.

Think vintage rugs layered over modern floors or a bathroom featuring a classic armchair.
Flooring for eclectic interiors needs to be versatile yet impactful, providing a cohesive foundation that lets your creativity take center stage.
Why It Works
Eclectic interiors celebrate individuality, turning your home into a true reflection of your style. They’re dynamic, fun, and brimming with personality. Choosing the right flooring ensures that the mix-and-match elements feel intentional and stylish rather than chaotic.
