Mannington Commercial: A Rad Approach to Flooring Design

Hey there, Nudgeville crew! So, I just caught wind of some seriously cool stuff happening over at Mannington Commercial, a family-owned flooring company that’s totally shredding the design scene. They’re all about making life easier for interior designers by bringing a fresh vibe to flooring that’s both functional and stylish. Imagine being able to create a whole space that flows together without having to worry about mismatched designs. Sounds rad, right?

Mannington Commercial has this killer idea called ‘design as a system.’ Instead of just launching random flooring products like a skateboarder launching off a ramp, they focus on creating collections that work together as a family. This means that whether you’re designing an entryway, a lobby, or a patient room, everything feels connected. Stacey Gerbman, the Director of Design over there, summed it up perfectly: “If every collection lives on its own island, then the designer has to create all of those relationships.” Preach!

One of the coolest things about Mannington is how they think outside the box. They don’t just create matching sets; they establish a design language that allows different flooring types—like carpet and LVT (luxury vinyl tile)—to vibe together. It’s like when you nail a sick kickflip and your buddies all cheer! They’ve got this rad yarn system they call “color architecture” that helps different materials complement each other while still having their own unique style.

Get this: they’ve even launched a system called Curated Underfoot, which is their first collection that combines carpet and LVT for commercial spaces. This means designers can choose from five neutral tones that work across both carpet and LVT, creating a cohesive look without everything screaming for attention. It’s like being able to riff on a song while keeping the same jam session going—so much creativity!

And let’s not forget about their Stepping Stones collection, which is designed for places like healthcare settings but still keeps that rad aesthetic. It’s all about balancing performance and style, making sure your flooring can handle the hustle and bustle while still looking fresh.

So, if you’re into design or just love rad spaces, keep an eye on Mannington Commercial. They’re totally changing the game and making it easier for designers to create cohesive interiors that rock. Who knew flooring could be so exciting? Keep those boards rolling and those ideas flowing!
