Flooring Design
Transform Your Floors Into a Statement of Style, Craftsmanship, and Function
When it comes to flooring, most people focus on material—but design is just as important. The right layout can elevate your space, guide movement, and make a lasting impression. At Black Rhino Floor Installation Services, we specialize in creating custom flooring designs that combine expert installation with artistry.
Whether you’re dreaming of a bold herringbone pattern in your entryway or subtle borders that frame a room with elegance, our team delivers personalized design layouts that go beyond the basics. We install every floor with purpose, precision, and pride—making sure it looks just as good up close as it does from across the room.
Serving Ocala, FL and surrounding areas within 10 miles, we’re your trusted local partner for beautifully designed floors.
What Is Flooring Design?
Flooring design is the intentional layout and visual composition of your flooring material. It involves choosing not just what you install (hardwood, laminate, tile), but how it’s installed.
Flooring design may include:
Diagonal or angled layouts
Herringbone or chevron patterns
Framed borders along the perimeter of a room
Inlay medallions for entryways or feature areas
Multi-material transitions between spaces
Decorative stair risers and treads
Seamless flow across multiple rooms
We Install With Design in Mind
At Black Rhino Floor Installation Services, we believe every floor we install should feel as intentional as it looks. That’s why we:
Offer personalized design consultations
Work with your existing architecture and layout
Suggest patterns and layouts based on material type
Provide input on color, grain direction, and flow
Cut and install each piece with artistic precision
We don’t just follow manufacturer guidelines—we elevate them. Every design is executed with clean lines, proper spacing, and seamless transitions.
Why Flooring Design Matters
Maximizes the Aesthetic Impact of the Material
A beautiful floor can fall flat if the pattern is basic or doesn’t suit the space. Custom layouts bring out the best in premium materials, such as engineered wood, tile, or solid hardwood.
Guides Flow and Creates Focal Points
The direction and layout of flooring lines can help define spaces in open floor plans, draw the eye to focal points, and make small rooms feel larger.
Reflects Your Style and Vision
Flooring is a major visual element in any space. With the right design, you can express elegance, rustic charm, modern flair, or anything in between.
Adds Long-Term Value
Professionally designed floors show attention to detail. When installed correctly, they increase resale value and make a memorable impression on visitors and buyers alike.
Our Flooring Design Services
We specialize in a range of custom layout and design solutions for homeowners and contractors looking to go beyond a basic plank install.
Herringbone & Chevron Patterns
The herringbone layout uses interlocking planks set at 90-degree angles to create a zigzag effect that’s rich in texture and visual appeal. Chevron layouts take it one step further with planks cut at angles for seamless points.
These patterns are ideal for:
Foyers and hallways
Living rooms
Dining rooms
Feature walls or floors
We install with laser precision, ensuring every joint aligns perfectly and every row flows with symmetry.
Diagonal or Angled Layouts
Installing flooring on a 45-degree angle adds dynamic movement to a space. This layout works particularly well in rooms where you want to add depth or draw the eye.
Diagonal layouts are great for:
Long, narrow rooms
Open-concept spaces
Homes with unusual dimensions
They require more cutting and planning, which is why many installers avoid them. We embrace the challenge—and deliver clean, beautiful results.
Borders and Framed Designs
Borders and inlaid frames can transform an ordinary floor into a statement piece. We can outline entire rooms, frame focal areas like dining spaces or fireplaces, or incorporate contrasting materials for dramatic effect.
Frame layouts can include:
Double borders using contrasting wood tones
Accent strips in tile or cork
Transition detailing for multi-room installs
We meticulously plan spacing, balance, and alignment to ensure symmetry across all four walls.
Medallions and Feature Inlays
If you’re looking to impress the moment someone walks in, consider a medallion inlay—a circular or geometric pattern installed at the center of a room or entry space.
We can create custom medallions using:
Wood pieces
Tile accents
Vinyl or cork
Contrasting stains or materials
These eye-catching designs are cut and placed by hand with careful attention to every detail.
Stair Design and Transitions
Stairs, landings, and transitions between flooring types are often overlooked—but not by us. We offer complete design integration, ensuring your stair treads, risers, nosings, and railings match the rest of your flooring beautifully.
We also handle complex transitions between materials such as:
Hardwood to tile
Laminate to vinyl
Engineered wood to carpet
