With a New Year comes plenty of new trends and ideas to guide homeowners toward their next renovation project. There are so many great resources for inspiration, from Architectural Digest’s round up of paint colors or The Spruce’s take on curvy furniture trends, as well as Dwell’s expert views on all things décor.
But, let’s not forget the most important foundation of any home’s style: flooring, naturally.

Our flooring journey leads to our 2022 Floor of the Year: Duravana Hybrid Resilient Bay Bridge Oak!
Duravana offers the latest in flooring innovation, partnered with classic style. Eco-friendly Duravana flooring offers superior performance in scratch- and dent-resistance, plus innovative waterproof technology.
These performance floors are as beautiful as they are strong. “Bay Bridge Oak’s multi-faceted golden hue pairs perfectly with blues and greens for a room inspired by the beauty of nature. And its smooth graining makes it a versatile foundation for a variety of interior styles, from modern farmhouse to urban loft.” says Jennifer Meska, LL Flooring’s design and style expert.
In addition to Bay Bridge Oak’s stylish look, the floor is easy to install, as our partner, LA-based contractor Josh Temple showcased at this pool house-turned hair salon.
More Floors We Adore
Bay Bridge Oak is no doubt an incredible floor, but there are others that our team of style experts identified as Floor of the Year Finalists, like Valberg White Oak Engineered Hardwood from the new Era Collection. This floor features cutting-edge 5G locking technology that provides water-resistant protection. Its ultra-long, ultra-wide planks showcase the natural beauty of European white oak.
Another Floor We Adore is CoreLuxe Mont Blanc Pine Rigid Vinyl Plank, which is a perfect combination of rustic style and innovative design. Mont Blanc Pine shows off the stylish, soft gray of distressed, whitewashed pine and offers a laid-back vibe, plus waterproof protection for any room in your home.
If you prefer a solid hardwood, you can’t go wrong with Bellawood Artisan Hannah Point Solid Hardwood Flooring, with its 5” wide planks and warm natural finish. Its subtle wire brushing highlights the natural grain pattern and helps showcase the classic beauty of hardwood.
