Zig When They Zag

This already wow-worthy his-and-her closet is taken to the next level with a painted zigzag floor in turquoise, apple green and white. Not only does the floor bring bright color to this mostly-white space, it also infuses a contemporary motif that becomes the true star of the room.

Reclaimed Style

This open living space with retractable glass doors that seamlessly blend the indoors with the out is already a showstopper. Herringbone reclaimed wood floors ground the space with rich texture and pattern. Warm earth tones throughout the rooms reflect the natural surroundings that are such an integral part of the design.

Instant Grandeur

Matte oak flooring greets guests as they enter this metropolitan home. However, the stunning focal point is the marble tile inset, which adds an undeniably sophisticated touch. Proving that a statement-making moment doesn't have to take up the entire floor space — a well-placed pop does the job.

Petite Space, Max Impact

Bathrooms are an easy place to play with flooring. A little goes a long way in a smaller space, and less square footage equals less money you have to spend. In this contemporary bathroom, colorful yellow-and-gray graphic tile is used to maximum effect. Repeating the tile in the shower niche helps to draw the eye through the space.

Clever Masquerade

As much as you may love the look of hardwood, it's not a practical element for bathrooms where water exposure is an issue. Enter wood tile, which gives the look you want without the worry. Here, wood tile is laid in a classic herringbone pattern that fits right in to this farmhouse-chic bath.

Highlight One Hue

Bring life to older hardwood planks by embracing one captivating color. These painted teal floors completely energize this country dining room and create a balancing act between the rustic woods and vintage metals.

Understated Stripes

Even subtle shades can make a big impact. Light blue-and-white stripes perfectly fit into this menswear-inspired bedroom.

Used to Unify

Blend multiple spaces together with a cohesive floor. Instead of using traditional hardwood or tile flooring, thin black boards laid in a herringbone pattern not only bring in tone-on-tone texture, but they also seamlessly combine the kitchen and breakfast room with the cozy seating and desk area.

A Neutral Moment

Yes, neutrals, too, can be intriguing. By mixing classic hexagons with an earth-tone palette of varying sandy hues, this mudroom's floor is just as dazzling as our other brightly painted ones. If you tend to stick to safer shades, try something like this to up your floor game.

All in the Stripes

Never Goes Out of Style

A classic black-and-white harlequin floor grounds this functional mudroom. The painted design creates distinction between the mudroom and rest of the home, as well as adds striking contrast to the room.

Tiles With a Twist

This den doubles as a laundry room and an entryway from the backyard so durable floors were a must. Though it may look like whitewashed wood, the flooring is actually easy-to-clean, hard-wearing tile. Laid in an interesting arrangement, the tile goes from just durable flooring to a true standout.

For the Color Lover

So long, neutral floors. Tile is a clever way to bring tons of color underfoot. Blocks of mosaic tiles look like bricks to create a patchwork effect in this peacock-inspired kitchen.
