Carpeting
It’s getting more environmentally friendly and a few manufacturers are creating fibre combinations that take softness to a whole new level.
Luxury Vinyl
The “luxury” angle may be a bit of a stretch, but technology unquestionably has given some vinyls a whole new look.

Tile
Ceramic tile is getting bigger — literally. Tile in formats larger than the standard 12-by-12 inches are growing in popularity, though there’s a lot of variation in regional preferences, Humphrey said.
“And those digital prints that you see on laminate countertops and vinyl tile — they’re also doing that on ceramic tile, so that you might also see tiles that look like hardwoods,” he said.
