Inlaid floor medallions at ILA building and Comfort Suites.
Installing a custom cut floor medallion in your home or business can breathe new life into old rooms and create a striking focal point in entryways. But settling upon the perfect design isn’t always easy, so considering a few of your options beforehand is helpful. Precision Cutting Service has helped hundreds hone their floor medallion designs and we have gathered some insights to make it easier on you.
Here are four things to take into account before signing off on your floor medallion design.
- Materials
Floor medallions are made from a wide range of materials. A few of the more common ones are stone, such as marble and granite, vinyl composite tile (VCT), ceramic tile and porcelain. The right material for you depends on the look you’re going for and where your medallion will be located. VCT works best in high-traffic areas like large meeting rooms and lobbies and when budget is a key factor. However, all of the other materials mentioned above are also highly durable and affordable.
- Location
No matter what material you choose, the location will always play a factor in the design and installation of your floor medallion. Do you want to create a focal point in a particular room or perhaps showcase your company’s brand? Be sure to consider a floor medallion location that will draw the eyes of those who enter the premises.
- Textures
Each material offers different textures, creating an added design dimension. Natural stone medallions can provide you with one-of-a-kind patterns, and the layout of the medallion itself can bring to mind certain textures. Considering how these attributes will appear alongside your existing flooring will ensure you select the very best material and design.
- Color
You probably want your floor medallion to be a highlight in the room where it’s installed. However, it shouldn’t be overpowering, so choosing complimentary colors or ones that exude a sense of balance with your existing design scheme is often best. Less can be more when it comes to colors, so think about what works and what might clash.
