What’s new for fall

HomeFeatured PostWhat's new for fall

Flooring retailers often approach the fourth quarter as an opportunity to close the year on a positive note, bolstered by an influx of new products to potentially invigorate an unsteady residential retail market.

The good news: There is a wave of new offerings hitting the market this fall that could turn the tide for dealers in the fourth quarter. Here are some examples:

Anderson Tuftex

Lumen is a study in light and the way illumination can shape the mood of a space. Inspired by light diffusing across a surface, its larger-scale organic pattern creates soft movement and tonal depth without overwhelming the room. Crafted from durable solution-dyed nylon, Lumen balances elevated design with everyday performance and is available in 18 earthy neutrals and nuanced hues that bring warmth and continuity throughout the home.

Cali

Cali is bringing its best-selling Barrel hardwood colors to a new format: herringbone. The classic pattern’s visual movement, paired with light, natural tones and smooth European white oak grains, turns floors into a design-forward focal point—perfect for accent spaces or full installations. Available now in four customer-favorite shades: Champagne Sea, Beach Town Blanc, Sonoma Salt and Semillon Surf.

COREtec

Balanced Retreat offers a fresh take on natural stone materials, balancing rich history with modern design to create depth and dimension in every step. These 12 x 24 x 10mm tiles boast an easy-to-clean, grout-free design with chip and crack, and comes with attached Soft Step underlayment with noise canceling technology.

Canopy

Craftsman Oak introduces a bevel profile new to the LVP category: a painted long-side bevel paired with a micro-press on the short ends, a hybrid bevel construction that creates shadow depth at the long seam without visual interruption where planks meet end to end. The visual is a bright, wheat-blonde oak with delicate, natural graining that reads as open and airy rather than heavy. At 9 x 84 and 15mm thick, it is Canopy’s most substantial plank format, and the standout new introduction in the Canopy Comfort Premium collection for fall.

Engineered Floors

New Dawn brings depth and dimension to the softness of a plush carpet. Its tri-color construction layers complementary tones together, creating subtle movement that gives each color greater richness. Warm naturals and earthy mid-tones make a room feel collected and approachable, while the multi-color blend helps minimize the appearance of everyday messes. Engineered with PureColor featuring High-Def technology, color is integrated throughout the fiber, providing lasting clarity and built-in resistance to staining and fading.

Johnson Hardwood

New from Johnson Hardwood, Haven Ridge brings elevated style and advanced performance to high-performance laminate flooring. Featuring 12 carefully curated colors, the collection pairs authentic wood visuals with exceptional performance. Haven Ridge is built with a 10mm Watershield Black Core and 2mm IXPE foam pad for enhanced comfort and dimensional stability, while the premium Välinge 5G Dry locking system ensures a precise, secure installation. Design details include a pillowed edge with regular embossing on SKUs 01–05 and a painted bevel with EIR on SKUs 06–12.

Karastan

LuxeCraft Charlton Ivy combines the luxurious look of premium walnut with the lasting performance of luxury vinyl. Its Comfort Core WPC construction provides enhanced sound absorption and comfort underfoot, while 100% waterproof and floodproof protection helps guard against everyday spills and accidents. All Pet Gold provides protection against pet stains and scratches, delivering durable, low-maintenance performance backed by comprehensive lifetime warranties.

Karndean

Freshly updated with several new wood-inspired designs, the Van Gogh collection from Karndean Designflooring offers a broad palette of luxury vinyl plank flooring. The collection beautifully captures the distinctive natural details of woods such as elm, oak, redwood and cedar. Every floor is available in both gluedown and rigid core with a 20-mil wear layer, ensuring consumers have the right look and performance for their homes.

Mercier

Mercier’s 2026 new Emblem collection embodies the current trends with subtly warming up colors featuring delicate notes of caramel and tobacco.

With wider, longer planks and a clean, uniform look, Icon and Legend resonate with consumers who are looking for modern yet timeless decors. Emblem is available in oak and hard maple, both in engineered 7-½ or solid 4-¼ with Mercier’s signature liv matte finish.

Mirage

Mirage announced the return of the Mirage Rebate sale. This hardwood flooring sale is taking place across the United States at all participating Mirage dealers from Oct. 1 to Nov. 14. Consumers receive a $0.50/sq. ft. rebate on Mirage flooring for the duration of the special event. This exclusive offer is valid on all Mirage brand hardwood flooring, regardless of species, color, width or collection.

Mohawk

RevWood Mableton Lane brings the timeless beauty of oak to life with sophisticated light to medium tones, premium texture and high-definition clarity. Signature Technology captures exceptional detail for remarkably realistic visuals, while waterproof, fade-resistant and pet-friendly performance delivers lasting durability. Backed by All Pet Gold protection, Mableton Lane combines elevated style with the everyday resilience customers expect from RevWood.

MSI

McCarran Reserve is expertly crafted from ultra-rare 100% European white oak—each AB grade plank is sourced from the cleanest, most visually pristine cuts of the tree, representing an exceptionally selective tier of the yield.

Available in a curated range of on-trend hues, these extra-wide 9.5 x 86 planks are enhanced by an extra-thick multi-ply core for added stability and an MSI-exclusive CrystaLux Ultra wear layer for lasting durability.

Novalis

Arden brings the warmth, character and quiet luxury of natural wood to today’s beautifully collected interiors. As NovaFloor’s only WPC collection, it combines a substantial 8mm construction with 9 x 60 planks. EIR texture, craftsman-style pressed bevels and up to 48 unique planks per style add depth, dimension and visual variation, resulting in NovaFloor’s most realistic wood look to date.

Foundry oak styles offer refined balance, while heirloom oak looks bring natural patina and character-rich variation. A 30-mil wear layer and NovaShield protection support premium durability.

Philadelphia Commercial

Indwell II delivers design continuity across diverse commercial environments through a single versatile style available in seven performance-driven platforms. Whether supporting high-traffic areas, addressing sound abatement needs or providing a sheet format ideal for kitchens and bathrooms, Indwell II adapts seamlessly to the functional demands of the space. With one cohesive color line that carries across every format, the collection creates a unified visual experience that flows effortlessly from room to room.

Shaw Floors

Maltese captures the inviting visuals of real wood with a thoughtfully blended range of tones that help naturally disguise everyday messes—including pet hair. From soft lights to rich mediums and deeper shades, it’s easy to find the perfect match for your space. And with 50% more scratch resistance than traditional luxury vinyl, Maltese is made to handle life with pets.

Southwind

Southwind Floors presents a new twist to the traditional look in carpets. Most traditional linear sisal visuals are distinctive but extremely tight and dense, basically a flat overall appearance. Southwind’s new Linear Retreat offers a fresh design on linear carpet visuals with an impressively robust and full-bodied construction, offered in a collection of natural hues.
