ATLANTA -- Floor & Decor, a leading specialty retailer of hard-surface flooring for professionals and homeowners is looking ahead to the styles set to define the home with the release of its 2027 Home Design Forecast.

This year, warmth, wellness, expressive color, and rich materials take center stage as homeowners seek spaces that feel personal, inviting, and thoughtfully connected to their own goals and tastes. Across kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, the trends and products in the 2027 Home Design Forecast balance distinctive style with practical solutions for a variety of budgets.

Introducing the 2027 Tile of the Year

Floor & Decor has named the Capri Oat Matte Porcelain Tile as its 2027 Tile of the Year, celebrating a surface that captures the beauty of limestone with the durability of porcelain.

Inspired by the understated and versatile character of limestone, the Capri Oat Matte Porcelain Tile brings warmth and a quiet sophistication to interiors at an attainable price point.

Part of the Vetta Elements Collection, Capri Oat features NatureMatch innovation, which uses high-resolution digital printing and glazing to capture the veining, depth, and texture of natural stone, while offering the strength and practicality of porcelain. The popularity of these tiles reflect a consumer shift toward wanting palettes that are more natural and sophisticated because that's how people want their homes to feel, but the need to balance that with also having a surface that is more practical for the way families live in their homes. The timeless cashmere hues of Capri Oat create a welcoming wall backdrop or flooring solution for everything from tranquil retreats to polished gathering spaces.

The Vetta Elements tiles are also 100 percent waterproof, and suitable for floors and walls, indoors and out, including shower floors and walls, making it an ideal selection for bathrooms, kitchens, or a backyard oasis. NatureMatch products are at an accessible price point and have been featured in recent home transformations by TV personality, home renovation expert, and SERHANT real estate agent, Tyler Cameron.

"Capri Oat was selected as our 2027 Tile of the Year for its warm, grounded color palette and the sense of calm it brings to a space," said Ashley Biscan, Interior Design & Trend Expert at Floor & Decor. "Its soft oat tone is inviting, the tile balances looking elevated with ease, and it creates a perfect solution for a beautiful backdrop for both tonal interiors and spaces with richer color and contrast."

Floor & Decor's 2027 Home Design Forecast reflects a growing desire among homeowners to design their spaces in a way that balances comfort, character, and craftsmanship.

This year, Floor & Decor predicts that the new neutral will be a mixture of creamy coffee tones, best described by the Cortado, or the half espresso/half steamed milk beverage from Northern Spain. In 2027, kitchens in high demand will take on a richer, more dimensional look inspired by the layered hues from deep espresso to milky whites. Cabinetry in stained cocoa, washed tan linens, champagne bronze hardware, brushed gold faucets and creamy countertops with swirls of sand and brown colors set the foundation for The Cortado Kitchen look and feel.

The Cortado Kitchen pairs warm wood and neutral stone with deep black surfaces and burnished gold accents for a space that feels rich and inviting yet unmistakably high-design. Brought to life with Floor & Decor products, the look translates across every budget without sacrificing its staying power:

•Value in Vinyl – For an accessible-value foundation with easy upkeep, luxury vinyl plank in a light, warm oak tone pairs with creamy
marble-look tile and a black brushed granite countertop.

• Performance Patterns – Stepping up a notch, hybrid resilient herringbone flooring and Zellige tile in a crema finish add texture and pattern, grounded by an inky black quartz countertop and a brushed gold pendant.

• Natural Outdoor Beauty Warms Interior Spaces – For the most luxurious take at an attainable price point, wire-brushed
white oak engineered hardwood and soft white honed marble are offset by a soapstone-inspired black quartz countertop
and a brushed gold and matte black pendant. Whatever the budget, the result is the same warm, layered style.

Calm, Cool & Collected -- Wellness Moves In with Nature-Inspired Tile and Tones

The Calm, Cool & Collected trend uses soothing palettes and natural textures to create spa-inspired interiors that feel serene, restorative and connected to the outdoors. Sitting between bold and minimal, the look favors soft patterns and calming color over spaces that feel over-styled.

Ceramic tiles with wave-like and shell-inspired patterns set the foundation, paired with cool greens and blues that range from sage to light teal. Organic textures carry across indoor and outdoor tile alike, pulling from nature to create a clean, tranquil backdrop that encourages calm. The result turns everyday spaces into peaceful retreats, answering a growing desire among homeowners for homes that support their well-being.

Beatnik Bohemian -- A Free-Spirited Mix of Color, Wood and Character

The Beatnik Bohemian trend celebrates individuality with saturated color, warm wood tones and fluted details, giving homeowners and designers permission to color outside the lines.

Bold palettes and mixed materials bring energy and personality to a room and this year's 2027 Home Design Forecast offers wood wall and ceiling panels to both add depth and improve acoustics. Celebrity designer and TV personality Brian Patrick Flynn, who recently worked with Floor & Decor to update his personal home, identified the impact of these unique products firsthand: "The Floor & Decor acoustic wood panels made the biggest transformation in the space."

Floor & Decor's Zellige Tile collection adds another artistic layer, with hand-picked hues inspired by wild berry to tupelo honey that capture the look of handmade tile at an accessible price point. Together, the mix of rich colors, wood wall panels, and mixed texture generate a creative vibe for bedrooms, bathrooms, basements and kitchens.

Every Style, Every Budget

The 2027 Home Design Forecast reflects Floor & Decor's focus on helping customers translate emerging ideas and trends into spaces that work for their homes, projects, and budgets.

From resilient flooring and porcelain tile to engineered hardwood, marble, dimensional surfaces, and nature-inspired finishes, the assortment gives homeowners multiple ways to interpret each trend at various price points. Floor & Decor also offers complimentary design services to help customers select products, coordinate finishes, and navigate project goals and budgets.

The 2027 Home Design Forecast and Tile of the Year were determined through a global review of emerging and established design trends, drawing inspiration from residential interiors, lifestyle aesthetics, and material innovations worldwide through a multidisciplinary panel of interior design, merchandising, and flooring experts at Floor & Decor.
