Flooring is the foundation of your home’s design. It sets the tone for every room and can make a huge impact on your daily life. Dublin homeowners are increasingly looking for flooring that is stylish, practical, and long-lasting. Since 1999, Doherty Flooring has been supplying and installing high-quality flooring solutions across Dublin, helping homeowners find the perfect match for their style and needs. From classic wood looks to modern, low-maintenance materials, let’s look at the flooring trends set to appear in Dublin homes in 2025.
The Rise of Engineered Wood: Classic Look, Modern Build
Engineered wood flooring is becoming a favourite for good reason. It offers the natural beauty of solid wood but with added stability and resilience. This makes it a great choice for Dublin’s climate, as it handles changes in humidity and temperature better than traditional hardwood. Each plank is made of layers of plywood or high-density fibreboard, topped with a layer of real solid wood. This construction prevents the floor from warping or swelling. You get the authentic look of oak, walnut, or maple without the high maintenance.
At Doherty Flooring, we offer a wide range of [engineered wood flooring]. Our expert fitters are skilled carpenters who will install your new floor to the highest standard, giving you a beautiful finish that lasts for years.
Advanced Laminate: Affordable Style, Serious Durability
Laminate flooring has come a long way. Thanks to new technology, today’s laminate is more realistic, durable, and water-resistant than ever before. It’s a fantastic option for busy Dublin households that need a floor that can handle daily wear and tear without breaking the budget.
Modern laminate convincingly mimics the look and texture of real wood. It’s also easy to clean, making it ideal for kitchens, hallways, and homes with pets or children. We stock top brands like Quickstep and Swiss Krono in our [laminate wood flooring] collection.
These options provide great value and a stylish finish for any room. For a cosy feel, you can pairyour laminate with a nice area rug.
Sustainable Choices: Good for Your Home, Good for the Planet
More homeowners are looking for eco-friendly materials. Composite decking is a leading choice for outdoor spaces, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional wood. It is often made from a mix of recycled wood fibres and plastics.
This means fewer trees are cut down, and waste materials are repurposed. Our [composite decking] is also incredibly low-maintenance and built to last. It won’t rot, splinter, or warp, saving you time and money on upkeep. It’s a practical choice that looks great in any garden.
Bold Patterns: Herringbone is Here to Stay
Herringbone and other geometric patterns are making a strong comeback. These classic designs add a sense of character to any space. They work particularly well in Dublin’s many Georgian and Victorian homes, complementing the original architecture.
Installing these patterns requires skill and precision. The zig-zag layout must be perfectly aligned to achieve the desired effect. Our team at Doherty Flooring has extensive experience fitting intricate patterns, delivering a flawless finish every time. A herringbone floor in an entryway or living room creates a stunning first impression.
