FloorMax Journal: Where Craftsmanship Meets Design Inspiration

Every great interior begins underfoot — with texture, tone, and material that set the mood for the entire space. At FloorMax, we explore how flooring connects art, architecture, and atmosphere. These featured editorials highlight the trends and timeless ideas shaping today’s most beautiful interiors.

The Art of Realism in Luxury Vinyl

It’s no secret that homeowners love the warmth of wood without the maintenance. In The Art Behind COREtec’s Wood-Look Floors, we explore how advanced embossing and layered visuals create the illusion of real timber. This deep dive reveals the design technology behind modern luxury vinyl — and why it’s changing the way we think about authenticity in flooring.

The Return of Plaid Carpet

Plaid patterns are back — and bolder than ever. Our story Plaid Carpet uncovers how designers are using heritage-inspired checks in hotels, lounges, and private residences. Beyond nostalgia, plaid brings structure and identity to interiors, proving that pattern can be both playful and refined.

Hospitality Flooring with Character

In Hospitality Carpet Trends for 2024: What Designers Need to Know, we examine how color, texture, and acoustics define the modern guest experience. From boutique hotels to conference spaces, hospitality flooring is evolving toward sustainability, warmth, and storytelling through pattern.

Designing with Wool Carpet

Wool remains the gold standard for natural luxury. In Designing with Wool Carpet, we explore the fiber’s unmatched durability, soft luster, and eco-friendly appeal. For designers seeking comfort with conscience, wool offers the perfect balance between performance and aesthetics.

Custom Size Rugs: Personal Style, Perfect Fit

Nothing ties a room together quite like a rug that’s made to measure. In Elevating Spaces with Custom Size Rugs, we look at how designers create harmony and proportion with bespoke rug dimensions — ideal for open layouts, stairways, and hallways that demand precision.

Fashion as Flooring Inspiration

Fashion often leads where interior trends follow. The Influence of Fashion on Luxury Carpet Design reveals how haute couture color palettes, textures, and tailoring inspire modern carpet design. Think runway to residence — with a distinctly tactile twist.

The Allure of Stanton Carpet

Luxury flooring has its icons, and Stanton stands among them. Our feature The Allure of Stanton Carpet spotlights the brand’s signature textures and artisanal craftsmanship. From classic Wilton weaves to contemporary animal prints, Stanton brings elegance to every project.

Embracing the Wild: Animal Print Design

Bold yet timeless, animal prints continue to make a statement in high-end interiors. Embracing the Wild of Animal Prints explores why designers love leopard, zebra, and antelope patterns for adding rhythm and personality underfoot. When done right, they’re a study in balance — untamed but sophisticated.

The Art of Hotel Carpet

Our series concludes with The Art of Hotel Carpet, a deep look into the craft of designing for hospitality spaces. These floors do more than look good — they tell a story of comfort, brand identity, and experience. The result is flooring that welcomes, inspires, and lasts.
