“Our showroom displays are a tool used in exploring new ideas and finishes, but most importantly educating our homeowners," said Knutson. Lines range from flooring and tile, ceiling and acoustic panels, window treatments, countertops, and a whopping 13 lines of cabinetry. With the establishment of Design Studio 360, Floor to Ceiling Carpet One has truly become a one stop shop, offering design services and a plethora of commercial grade and residential product lines in its 15,000 square foot showroom. When the job requires more visuals, the team will compose PowerPoint presentations packed with sketches, product images and renderings to paint a picture of the project’s design intent. Knutson's even used Facetime to advise when she couldn’t be on the job site in-person. The Studio currently utilizes programs such as 2020 Technologies, Sketchup, and Bluebeam to create drawings and 3D renderings. With more advanced technology, we can do nearly anything through images and email,” said Knutson. Over the last four years, we’ve advised or ordered products for projects in New Hampshire, Oregon, Colorado, California and Florida. “We work primarily in North Dakota and Minnesota, although we’ve done a few projects in South Dakota, too. We’ve repeatedly added interior designers, almost yearly,” said Knutson. It’s been a really nice, steady growth of workflow and project size which required hiring. The Studio has consistently had five or six interior designers, but now we’re up to eight, which is not including the designers we have on our retail sales floor. "Each of the designers have their own projects and clients, but they're still able to assist clients in the showroom. This growth would take their commercial and residential projects full circle.Īlthough the team branded the division in 2017 as Design Studio 360, this year was the year to debut it to the public. Expansion was always on the horizon with increases in project scope and clientele requests for one-on-one interior design services. Throughout her 14 years at Floor to Ceiling Carpet One, Knutson has seen firsthand how the design studio has evolved and continues to grow. Design Studio 360 is led by Rebecca Knutson, Principle Interior Designer and Design Studio Manager.
