If you are looking for design ideas, re-coloration of existing designs or help with the development of a unique design that works perfectly with your rail design scheme, then we have the resource to help. You can work with our dedicated design team on an individual basis to ensure that the resulting Coral Move Vision FR carpet meets your precise design and colour requirements.
Depending on the desired aesthetic, our design team will advise whether a tufted (Coral Move FR) or a digitally printed (Coral Move Vision FR) solution will give you the best results for your rail project.
Taking a Coral Vision FR reference as an example, you’ll see that it is made up of 5 different colourways. Should you wish to specify custom colourways or a bespoke design, then please contact us, and then simply tell us the NCS, RAL or Pantone colours that you would like us to best match to.
Best practise for special requests
A completely bespoke design unique to the customer. There are 2 options in terms of the development of the design:
1. The design already exists and is provided by the customer as a tiff/.ai/.pdf of at least 150 dpi, along with information about colour references for all elements of the design and the design file is at real size final scale. NCS, Pantone or RAL references can be referred to, as well as physical samples.
2. The Forbo design team is asked to create the file for the customer. Colour references must be provided, as well as any details or inspirational imagery of what the customer is looking to achieve.
