1. Earth-Toned Neutrals Are the New Classic
In 2025, earthy tones are making a strong comeback. Think warm taupes, gentle beiges, and soft sands—all of which bring warmth and comfort to any room. These neutral shades are versatile, pairing effortlessly with both bold and minimalist decor styles.

Why it works:
Earth-toned LVP floors create a natural look that complements organic materials like stone, linen, and wood. They help ground space and evoke a calm, tranquil environment - perfect for today’s wellness-centered home designs.
Oscar Surfaces Tip: Pair warm neutrals with matte textures for a more authentic, handcrafted look.
2. Cool Grays and Washed Oaks Remain Popular
Though warm tones are trending, cool grays haven’t lost their appeal. Weathered gray oak and light ash remain top choices for modern and industrial interiors. These tones provide a clean backdrop that allows furniture and accent colors to shine.

Ideal for:
- Urban lofts
- Modern farmhouse themes
- Scandinavian interiors
Texture Pairing:
Cool tones are paired beautifully with wire-brushed or distressed textures, adding dimension without being overpowering.
3. High-Contrast Hues: Charcoal and Blonde Combinations
Bold, high-contrast palettes are making waves in luxury design. Picture sleek charcoal planks paired with pale cabinetry, or blonde LVP against deep navy walls. These bold design choices highlight architectural features and add a high-end aesthetic to your flooring.
Designers love:
- Blonde woods for their ability to brighten small spaces
- Charcoal tones to add drama and depth
At Oscar Surfaces, we’ve created a premium collection of LVPs that include stunning high-contrast options - ideal for spaces that want to make a statement.

4. Natural-Look Textures Are Taking Over
In 2025, authenticity is key. LVP technology has evolved to mimic real wood and stone with uncanny accuracy. Look for textures that replicate hand-scraped wood, raw timber, and even concrete.
Popular Textures:
- Wire-brushed: Soft, natural texture with a subtle grain
- Embossed-in-register (EIR): Aligns the texture with the wood grain image for an ultra-realistic feel
- Matte finishes: Provide a more natural and less reflective appearance
These textures not only enhance realism but also improve slip resistance and underfoot comfort.

5. Multi-Width and Mixed-Length Planks
Forget uniformity - 2025 is all about visual interest. Multi-width LVP planks and mixed-length formats create a more dynamic, artisanal feel. These layouts are perfect for those who want a customs look without the price tag of real hardwood.

At Oscar Surfaces, we offer design consultations to help you create a pattern layout that suits your space perfectly.

6. Eco-Inspired & Reclaimed Looks
As sustainability continues to influence design, reclaimed wood-look LVP is becoming increasingly popular. These styles mimic the look of weathered, aged wood with knots, nail marks, and organic color variations.
2025 favorites include:
- Reclaimed barn wood
- Driftwood-inspired patterns
- Coastal weathered planks

Choosing these styles adds character and depth, while still benefiting from the waterproof, scratch-resistant properties of LVP.
7. Warm Minimalism & Japandi-Inspired Finishes
The rise of Japandi style—a blend of Japanese elegance and Scandinavian simplicity—has introduced a love for minimalist LVP designs. Expect to see light natural wood tones with smooth textures, ideal for serene and uncluttered spaces.
Color and Texture Pairings:
- Pale beechwood or whitewashed oak
- Silky matte textures with minimal grain

This trend is about less noise and more harmony, perfectly aligned with mindful living and holistic interior design.
8. Waterproof and Pet-Friendly Textures
Function meets fashion in 2025. Homeowners want beautiful floors that can handle real life - kids, pets, spills, and more. This is why textured LVPs that hide scratches and imperfections are in demand.
Look for textures such as:
- Rustic hand-scraped
- Stone-look embossed textures
- Low-sheen surfaces that reduce visible wear
Oscar Surfaces offers a wide range of high-performance LVPs that combine resilience with luxury aesthetics.
How to Choose the Right LVP for Your Space
When selecting the best color and texture, consider:
- Your room’s lighting – Natural light can shift how colors appear
- Your lifestyle – High-traffic areas need tougher textures
- Your style goals – Modern, rustic, coastal, industrial—each trend has its perfect LVP match

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring is expected to grow to $37.5 billion globally by 2028 (Source: Grand View Research), driven by homeowners’ demand for durability, water resistance, and realistic wood textures. In 2025, the biggest design shift is how color + texture now matter just as much as performance, blending aesthetics with daily lifestyle needs.
