Milliken Carpet’s 2007 showroom won the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Best of Show at NeoCon 2007. Q Studio, an architectural firm based in Chicago, designed Milliken’s showroom using custom digital wallpaper graphics. Principal Catherine Severson found Commerce Color through a search on the Internet.

The project presented some unique technical challenges: Q Studio worked closely with Milliken’s in-house design group in designing the wall murals and wall graphics, which depicted carpet patterns from Milliken’s line. There was some difficulty translating Milliken’s electronic files—originally configured to print on carpet—to print accurately on vinyl.

Severson has high praise for Commerce Color: “They were able to guide us through the process, coaching the graphics group on how to translate their carpet patterns into custom wallpaper. We went through many rounds of samples to get the color right and Commerce Color was so patient with us. The final product looked fabulous and Milliken has had countless inquiries about the wallcovering.”
