As Illinois' senior population continues to grow, so, too, does the need for supportive living environments. Nearly 58 million Americans are 65 and older, a number projected to reach 88.8 million by 2060. That's a lot of people who deserve spaces designed with their safety and dignity in mind.

Soft surface carpet tile is gaining momentum in 2025 as both commercial and residential customers discover its versatility, comfort, and design potential. While hard surface options like luxury vinyl and hardwood have dominated flooring conversations for years, carpet tile, alongside area rugs, is bringing renewed interest to the soft surface category.

Resilient commercial flooring continues to evolve in 2025, with designers across healthcare, hospitality, and retail turning to warm grays, taupes, and clay tones to define their spaces. These earthy neutrals are a significant departure from the icy grays and stark whites that dominated the last decade, and the shift is more than just aesthetic. It reflects growing demand for interior environments that feel inviting, natural, and brand-neutral, especially in high-traffic public settings.
