Bona's Trend Report Overview

In a trendsetting move, Bona, a leader in the flooring care industry for over a century, has unveiled its first ever Floorcast™ Trend Report. This forward-looking document serves to illuminate the evolving preferences surrounding flooring in the coming year, 2026. As homeowners increasingly view their floors not just as surfaces but also as central components of their home aesthetic, the insights gathered promise to be invaluable for both consumers and industry professionals alike.

Key Findings from the Floorcast™ Report

A comprehensive analysis drawn from the experiences of Bona's experts and a detailed survey of 1,000 American homeowners, highlights several key elements influencing flooring choices in today’s market.

1. Form Meets Function: It was revealed that 61% of American homeowners prioritize wood flooring for its timeless appeal. The report emphasizes the importance of versatility in flooring materials. However, practicality reigns supreme, with ease of maintenance and cost being the top priorities—51% and 49%, respectively.

2. Digital Influences on Style: Social media platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok are shaping the design choices of the younger generation. Interestingly, 67% of Gen Z and 57% of millennials have reported that their flooring design decisions are significantly influenced by these platforms. This digital design culture transforms flooring into a medium for personal expression, leading to intentional and shareable living spaces.

3. Patterned Wood Floors Making a Comeback: The trend report anticipates a resurgence in the demand for patterned wood floors, indicating a shift towards more expressive style choices. Many homeowners currently favor restoring their existing wood floors instead of opting for replacements—this strategy not only adds character to their homes but also emphasizes an environmentally responsible approach.

4. New Cleaning Norms: Although cleanliness is key, the report reveals that over half of homeowners clean their spaces only a few times a month or respond to visible messes. With floors being vast surfaces that accumulate dirt, Bona experts recommend a more frequent cleaning routine to protect and preserve flooring integrity.

5. Performance Over Everything: Performance remains the number one concern for homeowners when selecting cleaning products, noted by 69% of respondents. Furthermore, sustainability plays an essential role, with 54% valuing eco-friendly certifications—an area where Bona sets high standards with its GREENGUARD and Safer Choice Certified products.
