Shaw Contract, a global leader in commercial flooring solutions, has announced the launch of two cutting-edge digital AI tools—Inspiration Curator and View in My Space—designed to enhance how designers, specifiers, and end users explore and select flooring solutions.
Tailored to fit seamlessly into a designer’s workflow, the tools aim to streamline the specification process, accelerate decision-making, and promote intentional, brand-aligned, and sustainable design.
Inspiration Curator: Turning Imagery into Material Solutions
With Inspiration Curator, users can upload any image—ranging from interior photos to nature shots or brand visuals—and instantly receive a curated palette of Shaw Contract flooring products that match the mood, color scheme, and texture of the image. This intuitive approach helps guide design decisions through aesthetic resonance rather than relying solely on technical specifications.
“Inspiration Curator brings the power of intuitive design to the specification process,” said Carrie Edwards Isaac, Vice President of Marketing at Shaw Contract. “It promotes cohesive environments while also supporting sustainable material choices from the very start.”
The tool includes built-in visibility into sustainability certifications, such as Cradle to Cradle, low-VOC emissions, and recycled content, helping users minimize waste, reduce misorders, and create long-lasting, environmentally responsible spaces.
View in My Space: Real-Time Visualization in Context
The second tool, View in My Space, enables users to virtually preview Shaw Contract flooring products—from rugs to tiles and multi-surface solutions—within their own spaces or in pre-set commercial environments. By simply uploading a photo or using the tool’s built-in environments, users can see how different products will look in real-world settings, enhancing confidence in their selections.
This augmented reality-style visualization offers a more immersive and efficient way to plan flooring installations, replacing the time-consuming trial-and-error process of physical sampling.
A New Era of Smart, Sustainable Design
These AI tools reflect Shaw Contract’s ongoing investment in digital innovation, user experience, and sustainability. By combining advanced technology with environmental stewardship and design intelligence, the company aims to empower the creation of smarter spaces for people and the planet.
With the launch of Inspiration Curator and View in My Space, Shaw Contract continues to lead the commercial flooring industry into a more personalized, efficient, and environmentally conscious future.
