Hotel Flooring

The current hotel flooring trends are all about reinterpreting luxurious materials with a designer’s touch. There’s an increasing move towards marble aesthetics – think striking black and white or green and white combinations that offer a high-end look without the installation and maintenance challenges of natural stone.

Heritage-style patterns are also gaining popularity, infusing spaces with a timeless charm, which is perfect for period properties and adding character around bar areas. Though not a recent trend, we are seeing more projects integrating safety into designs from the outset, opting for LVT planks and tiles with enhanced slip resistance. This fusion of striking pattern and robust performance is redefining hotel and restaurant interiors, ensuring that floors are as safe as they are stunning.

Achieving a premium, design-led look doesn’t have to mean premium pricing. With the right materials and design strategies, hotels and restaurants can create visually striking interiors that feel high-end while staying within budget.

One of the most effective approaches is to use luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or high-quality laminate that authentically replicates the look and feel of natural materials like hardwood, marble, terrazzo, or concrete at a fraction of the cost. These products offer outstanding durability, easy maintenance, and rapid installation, making them ideal for hospitality environments where downtime must be minimized.

Designers can also elevate perceived luxury through:

• Thoughtful layout and zoning using patterns like parquet, chevron, or mixed materials.

• Layering textures and tones can add depth and warmth, even within flooring.

• Accents and borders that mimic bespoke finishes.

• Selecting materials with realistic surface embossing for a tactile, high-value feel.

Smart sourcing, modular formats, and curated colourways mean you can create aspirational spaces that impress guests and reflect your brand, without compromising your budget.

Biophilic design is a design philosophy that integrates elements of nature into the built environment to evoke a sense of well-being, comfort, and connection. For interior designers working in the hospitality sector, it’s a powerful tool to elevate both guest experience and design impact.

In hotels and restaurants, biophilic design goes beyond adding greenery - it encompasses organic materials, natural textures, flowing spatial arrangements, and visual references to nature. Flooring plays a critical role here; think woodgrain LVT with tactile embossing, stone-inspired surfaces with earthy tonality, or custom layouts that mimic patterns found in leaves, water, or landscapes.

The goal is to create immersive spaces that reduce stress, improve airiness and ambiance, and enhance guest engagement. It’s about crafting environments that feel instinctively “right” - intuitively calm, grounded, and authentic.

In hotel and restaurant environments, neurodiverse-friendly design is increasingly seen not just as a matter of compliance, but of empathetic, human-centered design. Key considerations include:

• Sensory modulation: Use flooring materials that minimize noise transmission, such as acoustic LVT or soft-surface options, to reduce auditory overstimulation.

• Calming visuals: Choose flooring patterns and finishes that are visually clear, low in contrast, and avoid overly busy or flickering designs. Subtle natural textures and muted palettes can promote calm.

• Clear wayfinding: Flooring can help define zones and guide flow by using contrasting tones, tactile cues, or inset designs, supporting guests who rely on spatial consistency and orientation.

• Lighting and reflectivity: Matte flooring finishes help reduce glare, which can be distressing for some neurodivergent individuals.

• Safe, soothing environments: Opt for hypoallergenic, non-toxic materials to ensure healthy indoor air quality and reduce sensory triggers.

Ultimately, designing for neurodiversity improves comfort for everyone. It creates environments that feel more welcoming, adaptable, and emotionally attuned - qualities increasingly valued in modern hospitality design.
