Fashion & Style come out on top in <i>National Floor Trends</i> design competition
"We created the Styling Excellence Awards as a way of reinforcing the fashion and styling aspects of our industry," explained NFT publisher and editorial director Jeff Golden. "Creativity is an essential element of flooring and we are fortunate to have so many creative people working in this business. We felt it was time to recognize their efforts."
Entries were showcased at Surfaces 2005 and attendees were asked to vote for those they saw as the most compelling and original. Aside from rug and carpet categories, the competition included six categories for hard surface flooring, plus one for moulding and a competition for the best merchandising effort. The competition drew more than 125 entries from 65 companies.
