When you’re building a custom home with Harcrest Homes, one of the most exciting moments is stepping into the design center and seeing your ideas begin to take shape. Flooring is a defining element of your home’s character—it sets the tone for every room, adds warmth, and creates a cohesive flow from space to space. On our recent visit to Atlanta Flooring Design Centers, we explored what’s trending for 2025, and it’s clear that homeowners are gravitating toward materials that feel both stylish and enduring.
1. Warm, Natural Wood Tones Are Back in a Big Way
Hardwood flooring has always been a favorite in Southern homes, but this year places renewed emphasis on warm, natural tones. The showroom revealed beautiful mid-toned oaks, soft browns, and matte finishes that bring richness without overwhelming a space. Wide planks continue to dominate, offering a clean, expansive look that pairs perfectly with Harcrest’s open-concept layouts. These natural woods create an inviting foundation for each room and highlight the abundant natural light our homes are known for.
2. Statement Tile That Turns Bathrooms & Kitchens Into Art
One of the most eye-catching features at Atlanta Flooring was the breathtaking selection of decorative tile. Entire walls were dedicated to intricate mosaics, marble-inspired designs, and bold geometric patterns—proof that tile is becoming a major design moment in today’s homes. Whether it’s a patterned backsplash, a textured shower wall, or a dramatic laundry room floor, homeowners are shifting toward tile that adds personality while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.
3. High-Performance Carpet Designed for Real Life
Carpeting continues to evolve, and the latest offerings prioritize comfort without sacrificing durability. Displays from Mohawk and Shaw showcased plush options that are stain-resistant, pet-friendly, and incredibly soft underfoot. These carpets bring a cozy warmth to bedrooms, family spaces, and bonus rooms, and their modern fiber technologies make them a practical choice for homeowners who want comfort that can withstand daily life.
4. Luxury Vinyl & Large-Format Tile for Modern Practicality
Luxury vinyl flooring remains a top choice for busy households thanks to its durability, waterproof capabilities, and realistic wood-like appearance. We also saw a rising interest in large-format tile, which creates clean visual lines and minimizes grout maintenance. Both materials offer a sophisticated aesthetic, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like mudrooms, basements, and bathrooms.
