How Metroflor’s Inception Reserve SPC Transformed a 1970s Geodesic Dome

By FLOOR Trends & Installation Editors

With the help of Metroflor, the home was transformed into an unusually beautiful, light, airy and modern home anchored by 3,000 sq ft of Field Oak from Metroflor’s Inception Reserve collection of waterproof SPC flooring.

Inception Reserve was key to unifying the interior design scheme in the once wide-open yet disorganized space by tying it all together in defined living, dining, and sleeping zones throughout the home.

The interior prior to the renovation had four different types of flooring in the eclectic space--including ill-advised carpeting in the bathroom, among other qualities of the worst in untouched 70s décor.

When one of America’s most-watched home and garden networks created a series about discovering and transforming the country’s most unsightly homes into the most beautiful, they approached Metroflor Corporation to provide the flooring for what they deemed to be the ugliest: a 70s-era geodesic dome house located outside Las Vegas.

Untouched since those disco days, it was affectionately known as “the Igloo”. The interior prior to the renovation had four different types of flooring in the eclectic space--including ill-advised carpeting in the bathroom, among other qualities of the worst in untouched 70s décor.

With the help of Metroflor, the home was transformed into an unusually beautiful, light, airy and modern home anchored by 3,000 sq ft of Field Oak from Metroflor’s Inception Reserve collection of waterproof SPC flooring.

Inception Reserve was key to unifying the interior design scheme in the once wide-open yet disorganized space by tying it all together in defined living, dining, and sleeping zones throughout the home.

See how the magic of Inception Reserve flooring worked wonders in this challenging space in the before and after images above.
