🏡 The flooring trends taking over London homes in 2026
If you’re thinking about updating your living room this year, the search data is telling us exactly what homeowners are looking for 👀
✨ Herringbone is officially having a moment.
With 202,000+ monthly UK searches, herringbone remains the most searched flooring layout — and in 2026, we’re seeing a growing preference for wider, chunkier planks. Fewer seams create a more seamless look, which can also help smaller London living rooms feel more spacious.
🌳 Warm oak is replacing cool grey.
With 109,000+ monthly searches, warm, natural oak tones are firmly leading the way. Think honey, biscuit, caramel and soft taupe — shades that add warmth, light and a timeless feel to your home.
And let’s be honest… grey flooring has had its moment. 🤍
Whether you’re renovating a period property or giving a modern London home a refresh, the right flooring can completely transform the feel of a room.
Herringbone + warm oak = one of the biggest flooring combinations for 2026.
