Karastan® Luxury Vinyl Flooring: Design-Driven Innovation for Modern Interiors

Introduction to Karastan® Luxury Vinyl Flooring

For over nine decades, Karastan® has stood at the intersection of luxury, artistry, and innovation in flooring. Known for redefining textile and surface aesthetics, the brand’s expansion into Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) marks a new era for interior design professionals seeking a perfect balance of form and function.

Karastan® Luxury Vinyl Flooring embodies a philosophy that can best be described as “Better Than Nature Intended.” By combining natural inspiration with advanced technology, these floors capture the organic elegance of real wood and stone—while enhancing performance for modern living. For home decorators, interior designers (ASID members), and space planners, Karastan® offers an exceptional palette of textures, colors, and finishes that invite creativity without compromising durability or sustainability.

Product Range and Design Versatility

Karastan’s Luxury Vinyl collections—LuxeCraft™ and LuxeCraft™ Serenity—are more than just flooring lines; they’re design statements.

• LuxeCraft™ Collection
  The LuxeCraft™ Collection blends artisanal detail with technological precision. Wider and longer planks evoke the grandeur of natural hardwood, while multilayer construction ensures resistance to water, scratches, and dents. Design professionals will appreciate LuxeCraft’s WetProtect® lifetime surface and subfloor waterproof warranty, providing both creative freedom and practical assurance. Whether you’re designing a coastal-inspired retreat or a sleek urban loft, LuxeCraft™ provides premium textures inspired by natural materials—ideal for spaces that demand beauty and performance.
• LuxeCraft™ Serenity Collection
  For projects that prioritize comfort and tranquility, the LuxeCraft™ Serenity Collection delivers exceptional acoustic and ergonomic performance. Its Comfort Core™ construction minimizes sound transmission and adds underfoot softness, creating serene and peaceful interiors.

The Serenity line also features WetProtect® and the All Pet® Gold Lifetime Stain & Scratch Warranty, making it a top choice for residential and boutique commercial designs where wellness, peace, and longevity matter.

Design Impact: Where Aesthetics Meet Functionality

Karastan® Luxury Vinyl Flooring empowers design professionals to push creative boundaries. Each plank and tile is a canvas—an interplay of color layering, texture, and grain fidelity that authentically mirrors natural imperfections. High-definition imaging and embossed-in-register technology align surface texture with printed design, producing a visual depth that rivals real wood and stone.

From rustic reclaimed oak to sleek marble-inspired tiles, the collections cover an expansive stylistic spectrum. This flexibility enables designers to curate spaces that harmonize with any aesthetic—from modern minimalism to classic European grandeur.

Karastan’s curated sub-collections—such as Curated Grain, Refined Forest, and Artisan Reserve—further enhance creative potential. These offer layered narratives for designers: Curated Grain evokes tactile natural grain patterns, Refined Forest celebrates organic imperfection, and Treasured Grove channels timeless warmth. Select styles even include Herringbone layouts, providing on-trend geometric dimension for statement installations.
