For more than 66 years, Grigsby’s Carpet, Tile & Hardwood in Tulsa is a long-standing, locally owned business known for a wide range of flooring options beyond its name, including carpet, tile, luxury vinyl plank, hardwood, and countertops. Beyond their vast selection of flooring, Grigsby’s team of loyal employees help their clients with unparalleled full-service customer service. Each person at every level is determined to exceed their customers’ expectations.
As homeowners seek spaces that feel warm, personal, and connected to the natural world, the flooring industry is shifting away from stark minimalism toward organic, texture, and high-performance options.
The reign of cool, gray-toned flooring is changing. 2026 ushers in a warmer palette that makes interiors feel cozy and inviting. According to Penny Carnino, Grigsby’s Director of Operations, said “The prevailing themes for 2026 are natural warm weaved fibers, stylistic traits, sustainability creating enduring floors that are as gorgeous and resilient.”
Colors include a palette of soothing earth tones and expressive, saturated shades such as rosey earthtones, warm taupe, light beige, and terracotta. Any color considered a neutral that projects warmth without overwhelming the space. Additionally, colors of nature’s greens and blues are on trend. These colors include sage, moss green, deep forest green, and coastal blues. The result offers a sense of tranquility, relaxation, and creativity.

On the forefront are jewel tones for bold rooms. These colors include sapphire, emerald, amethyst, and navy. These colors add an opulent mood and elite ambiance to formal or entertainment areas.
Sculpted and Textured Loops: Multi-dimensional carpets are practical because they hide footprints and vacuum patterns.
Colors: Expect to see a rise in honeyed oaks, caramel, and chestnut browns. These mid-tone and richer shades serve as sophisticated neutrals, easily complementing various design styles from modern farmhouse to organic minimalism. Soft taupes, sand beiges, and creamy off-whites are also popular for creating a serene backdrop.
Statement patterns and wide planks are also on trend. These designs meet the demand for a canvas for self-expression. Diverse patterns are making a comeback, adding depth and an European elegance to kitchens, entryways, and living areas.
Wide-plank flooring (7 inches or more) remains a popular choice, as fewer seams create a more seamless and expansive visual flow, making rooms feel larger and more serene.
Luxury vinyl plank continues its popularity due to advancements that make it incredibly realistic in mimicking natural wood and stone textures. Its water resistant and durable nature makes it ideal for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Design styles and colors are virtually limitless.
A focus on texture and matte finishes: The new luxury isn’t ONLY about shine; it’s about touch and authenticity. High-gloss finishes are sharing the stage with low-luster matte and satin finishes.
Tactile surfaces offer a “quiet texture”. Wire-brushed, hand-scraped, and softly distressed surfaces are popular because they highlight the wood’s natural grain and character while also being practical for hiding everyday wear and tear. Matte finishes reflect less light, making dust, scratches, and footprints less visible—a major plus for busy households.
Grigsby’s takes pride in their offerings of flooring made in the USA. This includes a wide variety of products like engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and carpet, known for high quality, safety standards, and durability. “Buying American-Made flooring supports our U.S. economy, as well as avoids extra costs associated with tariffs,” explained Penny.
