9 Flooring Examples That Make a Strong Design Statement

The examples below capture installations we completed in Connecticut. These Floor Decor Design Center customers wanted to make a statement with their flooring selections, and were delighted with the results.

No surprise, they represent several of our favorite flooring installations as they really add personality to the home.

Three Custom Herringbone Hardwood Examples

1. Maple Grey-Toned 5"-Wide Plank Herringbone

Maple Greystone 5" Herringbone

This Connecticut shoreline home with beautiful views of the Long Island Sound opted for the coastal look of grey-tone neutrals in both their floor and paint color.

Our client selected the clean look of maple and wanted a timeless contemporary feel. The solution was a floor installed in a herringbone pattern using Maple Greystone from Mirage in a 5-inch wide plank.

This floor is a winner, along with the floor-to-ceiling windows and the stunning herringbone installation.

Two Approaches For Creating Stunning Additional Spaces

1. Abstract Carpet Pattern for a Personalized Theater Statement

Our homeowner wanted to get rid of that "basement-y" feel and created a custom theater room in their basement. Take notice of the "Starlite Cinema" marquee at the top of the photo.

They even created a candy counter and movie theater popcorn maker!

For optimum acoustics, we suggested a beautiful abstract pattern in color Marine from Stanton Carpet. Soft and beautiful this carpet added the finishing touch to a great space.

2. Red Oak Luxury Vinyl Tile Design Makes a Statement in Family Fun Room

Metroflor Engage Luxury Vinyl Plank

This additional space was created for family fun. It features a pool table on one side, ping pong on the other side, and a large screen TV in the middle to keep everyone busy and happy with everyone spending more time at home.

Here, we opted for waterproof luxury vinyl plank from Metroflor Engage in red oak to coordinate with the red oak hardwood throughout the rest of the home.
