Laminate wood flooring.
The technology for laminate flooring has improved significantly, so much so that it is difficult to visually tell that a laminate floor is not real wood. The colors and finishes available are endless.

Texture, texture, texture.
Grey tones are warming up with bronze undertones. The feel, appearance, and consistency of surfaces are mixed and matched to create interest.
Taupe is hot with punch colors that complement the color tone.

Texture in the tile. Glass mosaics continue to be a hit. This one has a hand-made appearance, so it looks more organic. Quartz countertops that mimic marble are also in demand.
