Top Flooring Trends for 2025: What Champaign Homeowners Are Loving Right Now

September 24, 2025 | Carpet Master Carpet One Floor & Home

 

New season, new style—and for many folks in and around Champaign, that starts right from the ground up. Whether you're renovating your forever home or just giving the living room a little love, staying ahead of the trends can help you make smart, stylish choices that last.

 

At Carpet Master Carpet One, we keep our finger on the pulse of what’s hot in the flooring world so you don’t have to. Here's what local homeowners (and our team of experts) are loving right now.

 

1. Waterproof Wood-Look Floors: Best of Both Worlds

Hardwood will always be a classic, but in 2025, it's getting a durable upgrade. Waterproof vinyl and laminate options now give you the look of hardwood with none of the worry about spills, pets, or humidity.

 

 

These styles are flying off the shelves in kitchens, basements, and busy entryways. They’re perfect for Illinois’ unpredictable weather and family life that sometimes gets a little messy.

2. Warm, Natural Tones Are Back

Cool grays had their moment—but now we’re seeing a big swing back toward warm, earthy tones. Think honey oak, caramel browns, and even clay-inspired tiles.

 

These tones bring a cozy, grounded feel to any space, especially paired with neutral walls or bold statement furniture.

 

Popular Picks:

  • Textured oak LVP
  • Patterned carpet in beige or gold tones
  • Soft looped styles from our Room by Room collections

 

3. Pet-Friendly & Kid-Proof Flooring

If your home includes paws or peanut-butter-covered hands, this one’s for you. Scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and waterproof flooring is a must for busy households.

 

 

Our best sellers include:

  • Waterproof laminate with textured finishes
  • Luxury vinyl with extra durability layers
  • Soft, stain-resistant carpet with The Beautiful Guarantee®—yes, even your pets will approve 🐾

“Puppy approved,” as we like to say in the neighborhood.

 

4. Statement Carpets & Custom Area Rugs

Carpet isn’t going anywhere—in fact, it’s getting bolder. Patterned styles, plush textures, and custom area rugs are making a splash in bedrooms, home offices, and cozy nooks.

 

Mixing texture and color adds personality, and with our Room by Room Expressive styles, you’ll find designs that feel tailor-made for your space.

 

5. Sustainability Is More Than a Trend

Today’s homeowners want floors that look good and do good. Recycled materials, sustainable sourcing, and eco-friendly adhesives are high on the priority list.

 

We carry several brands that meet strict sustainability standards without sacrificing style or durability.

Ask us about green options when you stop by—we’re happy to walk you through it.

 

6. Easy Maintenance, High Style

No one wants to spend their weekends scrubbing floors. Luckily, the newest flooring options are easier to clean and maintain than ever.

 

From waterproof planks to color-hiding carpet patterns, 2025 flooring is built for real life. And thanks to our 3-tier Diamond Warranty system, you can shop by quality level and feel confident in your investment.
