As the crisp air begins to roll into Colorado and the first golden leaves blanket our mountain towns, fall brings a shift not only in the seasons but also in how we want our homes to feel. It’s the time of year when cozy, grounded design takes center stage, and flooring becomes one of the most impactful ways to transform your space. Whether you’re leaning into rustic warmth or sleek sophistication, this season’s flooring trends are all about balance, texture, and timeless style.
At CFS Design Center, we know that flooring sets the foundation for your home. That’s why we’ve rounded up the top flooring trends for fall 2025, highlighting what’s in, what’s fading out, and how to bring autumn-inspired design into your everyday life.

In: Warm & Moody Tones
Fall is the season of richness, and that’s exactly what’s trending underfoot. Expect to see homeowners shifting toward deeper, moodier hues in hardwood and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP). Think espresso browns, smoky grays, and even dramatic black stains. These shades bring instant depth and sophistication, perfect for pairing with warm fall palettes of rust, ochre, and forest green.
Out: Ultra-cool gray floors
Once a go-to, cool grays are taking a backseat as homeowners opt for cozier, more inviting tones.
In: Natural Textures & Organic Finishes
From hand-scraped hardwood to matte finishes, natural textures are making homes feel grounded and lived-in. Subtle imperfections and visible grain patterns celebrate the beauty of raw materials, while matte and low-sheen finishes reflect the trend toward understated elegance.
Out: High-gloss flooring
While still beautiful in some settings, it’s less forgiving and doesn’t quite fit the season’s relaxed, organic vibe.
In: Wide Planks & Long Boards
Bigger is better when it comes to this fall’s flooring. Wide planks and extra-long boards create an expansive, seamless look that visually enlarges rooms while giving them a modern, upscale feel. They’re especially popular in open-concept spaces where flow and cohesion matter most.
Out: Narrow strips
Traditional thin planks can make spaces feel busier and are losing ground to the clean simplicity of wide-format flooring.
In: Earth-Friendly Choices
Eco-conscious flooring continues to gain momentum this fall. Options like cork, bamboo, and reclaimed wood bring both sustainability and style, while LVP made with recycled content is also on the rise. These choices not only look beautiful but also align with the season’s spirit of stewardship and care for the world around us.
Out: Fast-fashion flooring
Low-quality, short-lifespan flooring that doesn’t stand up to wear is falling out of favor as homeowners look for durability with purpose.
In: Statement Tile & Pattern Play
Fall 2025 is embracing bold tile patterns in entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Geometric mosaics, herringbone layouts, and patterned porcelain tiles add instant personality and a custom feel to any home. The trend leans heavily into earthy tones and terracotta-inspired palettes for autumn.
Out: Overly uniform designs
While minimalism has its place, cookie-cutter flooring layouts are giving way to unique, character-rich patterns that make a home feel personal.
Trending Materials This Fall
- Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Still a top pick for its durability, affordability, and versatile style options.
- Engineered Hardwood: Loved for its warmth and stability, especially in Colorado’s fluctuating climate.
- Porcelain Tile: Timeless, durable, and now available in endless textures and fall-ready patterns.
