Be inspired by these photographs of stunning floors.

Instagram is often used as a primary source for sharing design and architecture inspirations. Therefore, it is not surprising that images of stunning floors from around the world are frequently shared on this social platform.

When it comes to floors, trends have changed recently, and people tend to make more colorful choices: nonetheless, we cannot help but notice that beige and gray are the most popular shades for interiors; greige (the shade between gray and beige) will likely be the color of 2020.

Even hotels, restaurants, and shops are making bolder choices, realizing that a distinctive floor can make their establishment even more appealing to customers: having a trendy space, particularly with an “Insta-beautiful” floor, is an easy way to get photos taken and tagged by their visitors.

The hashtag #ihavethisthingwithfloors reveals how widespread this phenomenon is. Here is a small roundup of our favorite floors found on Instagram.
