    Flooring is the foundation of any room—the blank canvas on which you decorate the rest of the space. Not only can flooring set the tone for any space in your home, but flooring is costly and not something we replace often, so it’s important to get it right the first time.

    Like any interior trend, flooring trends come and go. But when it comes to this permanent detail in your home, it’s best to avoid any styles that can quickly become outdated. Instead, choosing materials, colors, and finishes that will stand the test of time is always a good idea.

    Knowing which flooring trends are dated, though, can be tricky, and that’s why we asked a couple of design pros to weigh in on exactly which flooring trends to avoid in 2025 as they’re already going out of style.

    Gray-Toned Wood Flooring

    Gray was the go-to neutral shade for walls, floors, and decor for many years but this color is quickly losing favor, and gray floors are no exception. Cool gray floors can make a space look drab and uninspiring, and so we’re seeing this trend fading out.

    “Gray floors can make spaces feel cold and flat, lacking the warmth and timelessness that more natural wood tones provide”, says Sky Hofstatter, owner and principal designer at House of Hof.

    Grey floors don’t add much to a room, whereas natural wood finishes bring depth and character to a space, adds Hofstatter.

    Hexagon Mosaic Tiles

    Remember those teeny-tiny hexagon mosaic tiles that took over bathrooms and shower rooms everywhere?

    While they were super cute, they were also super impractical, and so it’s no wonder that this flooring style has not stood the test of time, according to Hofstatter.

    So many grout lines meant keeping the grout clean was next to impossible and add to that “the slippery surface (of the tiles) and a look that now feels more “budget hotel renovation” than spa retreat” are just some of the reasons that these tiles are going out the door as swiftly as they arrived according to Hofstatter.

    Faux Barnwood Floors

    Original barnwood flooring that’s reclaimed from old barns has been a popular choice for farmhouse and rustic style interiors. While this type of flooring isn’t going anywhere, it’s the replicated variety that designers say can feel outdated.

    “The faux barnwood look has had its time. While it was great for adding a rustic touch, it’s starting to feel a bit more manufactured now”, says Lauren Kyle, principal designer and founder at Kyle & Co.

    According to Kyle, we’re seeing a shift towards more authentic materials for flooring this year.

    “People are gravitating toward materials like real reclaimed wood or modern takes on rustic textures that feel a bit more timeless and natural.”

    It’s all about adding warmth to your home wherever you can.

    High-Gloss Floors

    Ultra-shiny floors, whether that’s polished hardwood or glossy tiles, can bring a luxe feeling into a space. But these surfaces are quickly falling out of favor because they are incredibly hard to care for.

    “Once thought to add a touch of luxury, high-gloss floors actually show every scratch, smudge, and speck of dust,” says Hofstatter.

    Today, designers and homeowners alike are leaning towards matte or satin finishes that feel more natural, understated, and, most importantly, can withstand the wear and tear that comes with everyday life.  

    Skinny Planks

    Narrow wooden flooring planks have been popular, especially for creating a more traditional look. But recently, they’ve started to get a bit of a bad rap as “they can make a floor feel busy and dated”, says Hofstatter.

    Wider floor planks, on the other hand, are great for making a space feel larger, cleaner, and more luxurious, which is the reason for their growing popularity.

    And another reason to opt for broader planks is that they “also highlight the natural grain of the wood beautifully”, adds Hofstatter.
