Let's be honest -- vintage NEVER goes out of style! Particularly in 2024, we are seeing a plethora of vintage and retro trends. Many homeowners are bringing these beloved looks into their artwork, wallpaper, and furniture, but did you know that you can achieve that retro/vintage look with your flooring as well? Here are 3 ways homeowners can use their flooring to create a nostalgic feel.
Retro Penny Tile
Penny tile is a beloved classic! Neutral-toned penny tile will bring a retro vibe to a space while not clashing with more modern aesthetics. This tile can be used on floors, backsplashes, and floors. Despite it's dainty size, this tile is more durable than you think and it is an excellent addition to any areas where moisture is present! Here's an example of a penny-tile product from Dal Tile!
2. Distressed Hardwood
Part of the charm of hardwood floors is the lived-in feel! If you’re not lucky enough to have gorgeous antique hardwood hiding under your carpet (like we see on HGTV!), there is a way to bring this charm into your home with new wood. We recommend a rich-toned, distressed wood —This means that the wood will come built with those charming signs of weathering that warm up the look! Here's a distressed hardwood product we love!
3. Retro Patterned Tile
If you’re looking for a pop of color or visual interest, you might consider using a patterned tile that pulls from vintage trends. Geometric patterns, star bursts, and certain floral designs are examples of patterns that bring funky retro flare. Here's a funky geometric tile from Emser Tile, and here's a matte porcelain tile from Tile Bar!
