2026 is now in full swing and some notable parquet trends are jumping to the fore! Architects and end customers are increasingly opting for warm colors, a natural character and a spacious environment. Below you will discover the four most important trends and how you, as a parquet installer, can respond to them commercially.
1. Warm, soft tones vs. luxurious, dark woods

2. Patterned floors: craftsmanship continues to convince
Patterned floors were already a fixture and this trend continues. Herringbone and Hungarian point remain popular, both in modern and classic projects. They add character to any interior and enhance the artisanal aspect of parquet.
End consumers remain willing to pay a higher price for a higher-quality result. Choosing craftsmanship is therefore a strong way of responding to the continuing demand for quality on the consumer market. So one tip for every parquet installer: with craftsmanship you show that you know how to get down to business!
3. Large formats: wide and long shelves
Wide, long planks are fully established and continue to gain popularity. An example of this is Burgundy flooring. This parquet creates a soothing look and enhances optically the space. By focusing on this, you also support a modern and luxurious look, which encompasses today’s demand.
4. An oiled floor
The latest trend we are seeing emerge is oiled oak parquet. By choosing an oil with color, the parquet can be better matched to the rest of the interior. In our assortment you will find oils from Rubio Monocat, among others, in different wood tones. These oils not only color the parquet, but also protect it. Ideal combination!

The direction is clear: warm tones, pronounced patterns and generous plank sizes define today’s parquet trends. By consciously focusing on these, you not only respond to the current demand, but also strengthen your position as a specialist craftsman.
