One aspect that I don't really pay much attention to in design is the flooring, so I researched the newest trends for flooring of 2013. HGTV talks about 8 new trends, but only a couple caught my eye that I thought were really unique and different. One was flooring made out of Cork. Supposedly, it is known for it's "amazing acoustic-insulating qualities." It also provides comfort when walking on it, compared to other types of flooring. Another flooring trend that caught my attention was the Large Format Tile flooring. HGTV talks about how 36" X 36" are being used now compared to the traditional sized tiles that are 12" X 12". One of the advantages of these large scaled tiles are that they are easier to clean, since their are less grout lines. One last flooring material that caught my attention was concrete. Concrete gives off a "trendy, sleek, and durable" look. It is available in many different colors, allowing for it to "adapt to almost any decor", which I never thought about.
