1. Warm Neutrals and Earthy Tones
2025 is all about creating calming, grounding spaces, and flooring is a major part of that. Carpet in soft beige, warm taupe, and gentle clay hues are replacing the cooler greys that once dominated interiors. These tones pair effortlessly with natural finishes and bring a timeless feel to any room. Take a look at our Belgotex – Alexandria carpet for earthy tones.
2. Textured Carpets for Comfort and Style
Loop piles, Berbers, and cut-and-loop styles are gaining traction this year. These textures not only add a sophisticated visual element but also feel great underfoot. Wool carpets in natural tones are especially popular thanks to their softness, sustainability, and thermal insulation. If you’re interested in a Berber style carpet, check out our Belgotex – Moroccan Berber.
3. Wide-Plank Timber and Timber-Look Flooring
The popularity of wide-plank flooring continues to grow in 2025. Whether it’s engineered timber, laminate, or luxury vinyl plank (LVP), wider boards offer a cleaner, more expansive look, perfect for open-plan homes. Natural oak finishes with subtle grain are particularly on-trend. Here’s a great example of a wide laminate flooring, Godfrey Hirst – Amor Wide.
4. Eco-Conscious Materials and Low VOC Options
Sustainability remains top of mind for Kiwi homeowners. Carpets made from recycled fibres, wool blends, and other eco-friendly materials are in demand. So are flooring products with low or zero VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), improving air quality and reducing environmental impact. Wool is always a great eco-friendly option, take a look at our Feltex – 8th Wonder.
5. Bold Carpet Choices in Bedrooms
While neutral flooring remains king in shared living spaces, bedrooms are getting braver. Expect to see deep navy, mossy green, and warm terracotta carpet making their way into cosy, personalised retreats. Pair with soft lighting and layered textures for a space that feels like a true escape. For a brilliant and bold carpet, you can’t go past Godfrey Hirst – Grand Luxury.
6. Matte Finishes Over Gloss
7. Hybrid Flooring for High-Performance Living
Hybrid flooring continues to rise in popularity due to its water resistance, durability, and realistic timber visuals. It’s an excellent option for busy households, offering the best of both laminate and vinyl. For a classy hybrid flooring that offers plenty of different variants, check out Godfrey Hirst – Metropol 1500.
