Most Popular Laminate Flooring Looks

This is consistently the most popular laminate trend! Indianapolis homeowners and designers are shopping for incredibly realistic visuals of various wood species.

  • Oak: Various shades of oak, from light grey-beige to richer, natural tones, are very popular.
  • Pecan: Pecan visuals, often with tan bases and grey overtones, are in high demand.
  • Rustic & Weathered: Many homeowners are looking for the appearance of aged or distressed wood, adding character and warmth to their homes.
  • Wider, Longer: The largest plank widths and lengths create a modern, spacious feel and are popular for mimicking the look of real hardwood.

The laminate textures and laminate finishes you choose will deliver hardwood realism and eye-catching detail. 

  • Matte Finish: Vintage matte finishes create less glossy, more natural-looking surfaces.
  • Embossed Surface Texture: This helps deliver a more realistic feel, mimicking the grain of natural wood.
  • Hand-Scraped Effects: Tactile dimension and enhances the authentic wood look.

Beyond just replicating wood, we see a high desire for laminate that makes a statement, often leaning into the natural aesthetic. This can include variations in wood grain, knots, and other imperfections that add character.

While dark laminate tones have had their moment, there's a strong return to lighter and warmer wood shades. These inviting laminate floors create an airy atmosphere that can make rooms appear larger.

Realistic Wood Textures & Finishes

Lighter, Warmer Wood Tones

The demand for authentic wood-look finishes is at an all-time high, with our shoppers seeking visuals that perfectly mimic a variety of species, from classic oaks to rich walnuts and warm hickories. Realism is enhanced with deep, embossed textures or hand-scraped effects, adding a tactile dimension that makes laminate floors almost indistinguishable from genuine hardwood.

In terms of color, lighter, warmer wood tones are particularly popular in the ranch-style and modern homes of the Indianapolis suburbs. Shades like bleached oak, soft maple, and honey laminates are perfect for creating airy open floor plans. We feel the trend towards light and natural hues also complements our city's growing interest in sustainable, eco-friendly materials.

Functionality & Performance

Wider, Longer Planks

We see a huge shift towards waterproof laminate and water-resistant laminate, making it a perfect choice for high-traffic areas like kitchens, mudrooms, and even basements. From a historic home in a neighborhood like Fountain Square to a family home in Carmel, waterproof laminate extends the consistent look of wood throughout the home for modern convenience.

Extra-wide and long laminate planks are gaining favor, as they create a clean, modern, and seamless look that visually expands any room. For many of the city’s classic home styles, such as Craftsman, American Foursquare, and Tudor Revival homes, wider, longer planks help create a sense of history and scale for spaces like traditional living rooms or dining areas.
