Christina Hall Says This Once-Trendy Floor Color Is Making A Major Comeback
No part of your home décor is too small or insignificant to be subject to ever-changing trends — from the decade you were born until the day you retire from trend chasing. While cool neutrals like white and gray have reigned supreme in the world of flooring since the 2010s, HGTV-famed designer Christina Hall has announced that there's a new floor color trend (back) in town: warm browns. In an interview with Parade, Hall declared, "We went through a phase where there was a lot of grays about 10 years ago, and then everything became more like whitewashed, like white oaks, more natural colors. And now, I'm seeing the trend back to more of the warmer browns."
If you've been feeling the chill of your home's once-trendy cool neutral floors, this announcement means that you can finally rejoice in bringing warm tones back into your home's walking surfaces. Even if you aren't in a place where replacing your floors is an option, there are steps you can take to incorporate warm neutral browns that Hall has declared in style again.
How to make the switch from cool to warm neutrals without replacing your flooring
If completely replacing your flooring every decade to keep up with changing décor trends sounds rather tiresome, expensive, and wasteful to you, Christina Hall has some good news to share. You can change the feel of your cool-toned neutral floors and tie in a trendier color without the big investment of an actual flooring change. The designer recommends a simple, inexpensive fix: rugs. "Those are affordable and easy to switch out," she told Parade.
When it comes to finding the perfect rug to bring warm browns back to your flooring, there are many options to consider. If you're looking for a rich boho vibe, take a look at the Loloi II Layla Mocha/Blush 5'-0" x 7'-6" Area Rug, currently available on Amazon for $71.93. If clean, simple, and minimalist is more your desired aesthetic, the SAFAVIEH Natural Fiber Cindy Solid Sisal 5'x8' Area Rug in Chocolate on Walmart.com for $136 might be more fitting for your personal interior style.
