2021 Floor of the Year: Gold Coast Acacia Hardwood
LL
Flooring looked to carry the positive momentum from 2020 into the
New Year through the culmination of the Floor of the Year contest,
with the winner being decided by an online public vote in December
among 12 top-trending floor styles. The 12 finalists were selected
through LL Flooring's ongoing monitoring of the latest home décor
trends, as well as input from designers and home-industry
professionals to ensure they represent trend-right styles.
The winner, Gold Coast Acacia Hardwood, is crafted from
solid, natural acacia that is ideal for warming up a home. The
copper tones highlight the distinct knots and grains in this exotic
species, making it a dramatic and beautiful flooring choice that
complements any style.
Rounding out the top three Floor of the Year finalists are
Manhattan Chevron Engineered Hardwood and Urban Loft Ash Engineered Vinyl Plank. Read
