Instant Pattern, Effortless Impact: New Designers’ Choice Floors From Amtico

British flooring manufacturer Amtico has added nine new floor designs to Designers’ Choice, its ready-to-specify luxury vinyl tile (LVT) collection that is specially created by the in-house design team. The seven new combinations of laying patterns and LVT products translate three macro trends – Restorative Spaces, Soft Utilitarian and Nostalgic Reset – into design-led, high-performance floors for commercial projects.

Designers’ Choice is curated by Amtico’s designers, they have combined precision cut laying patterns with Woods, Stones, Colours and Abstracts from the Signature collection, carefully chosen and influenced by the team’s research into colour, material mix and spatial trends.

Sarah Escott, Design Manager at Amtico said:

“Designers’ Choice distils months of research into palettes and combinations that are balanced, beautiful and instantly usable. This year, we’ve leaned into the emerging trends for Restorative Spaces, Soft Utilitarian and Nostalgic Reset, blending Woods, Stones, and even Burnished Metals to give specifiers and designers impactful floors in an easy, ‘off the rack’ solution.”

Nostalgic Reset shows in the retro styling of: DC633 Lune Small in Packwood Stone and red wine-hued Stucco Roselle, the sculptural semi-circle design is playful yet sophisticated. DC630 nods to vintage patterns with Check in oversized Tay Oak squares – pair with a gold stripping border for added elegance. DC629 pairs Chantilly Weave in a bold two-tone Bordeaux Oak and Buxton Oak design to re-energise the heritage weave pattern, making it perfect for boutique lounges and bars. DC631 is a classic black and white Check in statement Bianca Classic Marble and Nero Classic Marble. DC635 is a throwback to mixed wood grain floors with a Small Parquet laying pattern in five tones from cool, scandi-inspired Wharncliffe Oak to warm, golden Rotterdam Oak.

Restorative Spaces can be seen in DC637, which combines Large Parquet in five Stones – Waterloo Concrete, Wilmcote Limestone, Ratley Stone, Ilmington Stone and Coombe Stone – for a pared-back, utilitarian feel. Experience textural calm with DC634, Small Parquet in a three-Wood blend with Clowes Oak, Buckingham Oak and Wharncliffe Oak to bring biophilic comfort to workplaces and hospitality.

Soft Utilitarian shines through in DC632, which features statement Gatsby Square Large where Russet Burnished Metal meets Darley Oak for dramatic effect. The Soft Utilitarian design works beautifully as a rug feature or zoning, the hyper-realistic Metal’s pearl pigments and clever layering create the illusion of real weathered metal, providing a dramatic contrast to the Darley Oak. DC636 is a five-Wood design in Large Parquet, featuring a layered mix of rustic oaks for social, multi-functional spaces, such as hospitality and build-to-rent, with a Soft Utilitarian feel.

Designers’ Choice makes it easy to specify impactful, patterned floors – interior designers simply choose the ‘DC’ code of the design they want, then the Designers’ Choice laying pattern is precision cut in the Coventry factory from Amtico’s premium Signature LVT. For projects that demand a unique twist, specifiers can step up to Endless Possibilities, which feature an ‘EP’ code: keep any DC laying pattern but swap in products from the Signature collections. For example, Large Parquet in a three-colour Stone combination. Then, preview designs instantly using Amtico’s online Room Visualiser, starting with the product or laying pattern – users can also upload a photo or drawing to see how it will look in the actual project.
