What flooring is on trend in 2026?

Warm tones over cool ones. The grey and heavily bleached floors that dominated the last decade have given way to honey oak, soft wheat, warm sand and earthy mid-browns. Wider planks and longer boards continue to sell, matte and low-sheen finishes have largely replaced gloss, and patterned installations such as herringbone and chevron have moved from feature rooms onto main floors. Textured and wire-brushed surfaces are popular partly because they hide the grit a Calgary winter tracks indoors.
