Cartersville, Ga.—Shaw Contract unveiled StudioOne, a customized and curated suite of design services. StudioOne provides expert guidance—both in-person and virtual—from inspiration and DIY design tools to one-on-one design support.
A comprehensive solution for interior designers, flooring contractors and facilities professionals, StudioOne aims to save clients time and keep project costs down. The suite of one-on-one services offered through Shaw Contract’s StudioOne extends beyond flooring recommendations. The StudioOne team is comprised of a seasoned cohort of visualization specialists, custom product designers and trained interior designers who will provide customers with a tailored package of services.
“The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we work, creating shorter deadlines and constricted budgets for our customers,” said Natalie Jones, director of marketing at Shaw Contract. “StudioOne offers our customers time savings at every stage of the design process.”
The StudioOne collaboration process begins wherever the client needs support.
Inspiration
Shaw Contract provides resources to help designers in the conceptual design phase. Installation idea starters and palettes featuring flooring with coordinating paint colors and wallcoverings offer designers an easy way to get inspired.
Design Tools
Virtual project boards let clients collate and visualize multiple product choices in one place. The brand’s new 3D Floor Design Tool offers the ability to visualize a product in a number of environments, including workplaces, healthcare and education spaces. It also provides enhanced product details and the ability to see how a product looks at various times of day. View in My Room gives customers the opportunity to see how a product would look in their space by uploading a picture for visualization purposes, while Foundry lets designers customize Shaw Contract products with new colors and patterns.
One-on-One Resources
The StudioOne team of interior designers is available for consultation and collaboration, from concept development to flooring selection, floor plan ideas and coordinating material suggestions. Customers receive a curated package of product recommendations, pricing, timelines and in-room visualizations.
Visualization services are also available to those who do not utilize interior design support. The StudioOne Visualization Services team creates 2D and 3D renderings that demonstrate how Shaw Contract’s products will look in a space. Along with the renderings, the team can also deliver a comprehensive installation guide that provides a detailed product placement plan with quantities needed to assist installers onsite.
Shaw Contract’s Custom Design Studio transforms initial ideas into unique flooring to fit each space. The StudioOne Custom Design team collaborates with designers to understand the scope and goals of their project, presents concepts, refines patterns and samples and offers 2D renderings in the project’s floor plans.
“StudioOne is an unprecedented program in the commercial flooring space, mainly because it assists at any and all stages of the design process and transcends flooring recommendations,” Jones added. “This further illustrates Shaw Contract’s commitment to providing unparalleled customer service by delivering solutions that make our clients’ jobs easier.”
