With new ownership at Nitro Carpet Outlet came a new approach to their business. Primarily a floorcoverings dealer before, they wanted a showroom redesign in order to incorporate more kitchen and bath cabinetry and to upgrade the overall customer experience.
The floorplan was completely changed and provides more square footage for cabinets, a flexible layout, more daylight and views to the interior, and more functional spaces for their salespeople.
One of the client’s requests was that the flooring be less busy than it was in their existing facility. The design concept was to showcase different flooring types in a dynamic, yet organized manner.
The first floor tile has a modern concrete look in 24”x48” size. The second tile has a darker, more mottled texture and is shown in two sizes, 12”x24” and a 4”x12” herringbone pattern. The third tiles are along the back and have a more busy marble pattern. These are shown in both matte and polished finishes so customers can see how that changes the look. The bath vignettes have two more different types of floor tile, also somewhat hidden from the main part of the showroom.
Vignettes are designed to showcase many different price ranges and styles so that customers are exposed to a wide variety of options for cabinets, countertops, finishes, and backsplash tile.
