Why Interior Designers Love Working with The Floor Store
Interior designers understand that flooring is one of the most influential design decisions in any space. It impacts not only the overall aesthetic, but also how a room functions, feels, and performs over time. From anchoring furniture layouts to influencing acoustics, durability, and maintenance, flooring plays a central role in successful interior design projects. That’s why many interior designers across New Mexico choose to partner with The Floor Store.
At The Floor Store, we don’t simply sell flooring—we collaborate with interior designers to help bring their creative visions to life. We understand the designer workflow, client expectations, and the importance of delivering both beauty and practicality. In fact, one of our staff IS an interior designer! Whether working on a residential remodel, a custom home, or a commercial space, our team provides designers with the support and expertise they need to confidently move projects forward.
A True Partnership Built Around Design
Interior designers value partners who listen, communicate clearly, and respect the integrity of the design process. At The Floor Store, collaboration is intentional and built into every step of the experience.
Designers appreciate working with us because we:
- Take the time to understand the design intent and overall concept
- Offer knowledgeable input without overpowering the designer’s vision
- Help problem-solve challenges related to layout, material transitions, and durability
- Act as an extension of the designer’s team throughout the project
We understand that designers often balance creativity with budgets, timelines, and client preferences. Our role is to simplify those decisions by offering informed recommendations, realistic expectations, and dependable follow-through from selection to installation.

Designers often need access to a broad range of flooring products to meet different styles, price points, and performance needs. The Floor Store provides a curated selection that supports both classic and contemporary designs.

Interior Designer at The Floor Store
One of the standout advantages of working with The Floor Store is having access to a team of interior designers.
We understand flooring not just as a product, but as an essential design element that connects every part of a space. She works closely with homeowners, builders, and fellow designers to ensure flooring selections complement the full interior—from cabinetry and countertops to wall colors and furnishings.
We assists with:
- Translating a design concept into cohesive flooring choices
- Ensuring color, texture, and scale work harmoniously together
- Balancing trend-forward selections with long-term livability
- Helping clients visualize how flooring will look once installed
For interior designers, having another designer involved—someone who understands proportions, finishes, and spatial flow—creates a collaborative environment that enhances the final outcome. We can act as a valuable resource, offering insight while respecting the designer’s creative direction.
Custom Area Rugs Designed Specifically for Each Space
Area rugs are often the finishing touch that pulls a room together, but finding the perfect rug off the shelf can be challenging. Many designers struggle with rugs that are slightly too small, the wrong shape, or a color that doesn’t quite match the rest of the space. That’s why The Floor Store offers custom area rug design services.
Our custom rugs allow designers to move beyond standard sizes and styles. With custom area rugs, designers can:
- Specify exact dimensions to properly anchor furniture layouts
- Select carpet materials that match or complement installed flooring
- Choose textures that enhance comfort and visual interest
- Customize edging, binding, or serging for a polished finish
Custom area rugs are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, offices, stair runners, and hallways. Designers love the ability to control every detail, ensuring the rug enhances the overall design rather than limiting it.
Supporting Designers From Concept Through Installation
Design doesn’t stop once materials are selected—and neither do we. Interior designers value partners who can carry a project smoothly from showroom decisions to final installation. The Floor Store works closely with designers to manage the technical side of flooring so they can focus on the creative aspects.
Our team assists with:
- Accurate measurements and site coordination
- Product specifications and performance details
- Installation scheduling and communication
- Troubleshooting challenges that arise during construction or remodels
By maintaining open communication and attention to detail, we help designers feel confident that their vision will be executed as planned.
A Showroom Designed With Interior Designers in Mind
Efficiency matters in interior design, and our showroom experience reflects that. Designers can easily compare materials, pull samples, and make informed decisions without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
We regularly support designers by:
- Providing take-home samples for client presentations
- Assisting with side-by-side comparisons

- Offering expert insight when clients need reassurance
This designer-friendly approach saves time while ensuring every selection aligns with the project’s goals.
