THE FLOORING INDUSTRY continues to evolve and innovate as product developments push boundaries in fiber and materials technology, design, texture and pattern – for both hard and soft surfaces. Yet, technology and performance are not the only considerations. Artistry and aesthetics continue to play a role as retailers look to create warm and welcoming spaces tapping into global trends to appeal to a diverse clientele at any age, and at any stage. In the coming year, look for more artist and manufacturer collaborations that celebrate both the handmade and one-of-a-kind despite the rise of Barbiecore.

For the past two years, the pandemic has stressed supply chains, but that is changing for the better, as manufacturers are again investing in domestic production to ease supply worries and better serve end users.
