We’re thrilled to unveil our new showroom in the heart of Washington DC. This space serves both clients and employees, offering a place to explore products and discover design opportunities. Designed by Collective Architecture, the team who also created our first DC showroom, this space invites you to explore our diverse range of flooring options in a stylish and functional setting. Join us on a virtual tour as we explore our new DC showroom and highlight the stunning flooring choices that bring each space to life.
An Ode To Our Old Showroom
On Thursday, September 17th, 2015, Spartan unveiled our first DC showroom with a Grand Opening event. Our original showroom was nestled just off Logan Circle and served us well throughout the years, becoming a hub of creativity and collaboration for our team and clients alike. However, as Spartan continues to grow and evolve, so too must our spaces. This move marks an exciting new chapter, allowing us to expand our offerings and provide an even better experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
A New Chapter in The Heart of Washington DC
Our new home at 1203 19th St NW places us in the vibrant heart of the Golden Triangle, a 44-square-block area that stretches from the front yard of the White House to Dupont Circle. This central location makes it easier than ever for our clients to visit us and experience the Spartan brand firsthand. With the DC team settling into their new space, Spartan is excited to introduce Shatrell Jacobs as the new DC Showroom Manager. Bringing a fresh perspective and dynamic leadership, Shatrell is set to enhance the showroom experience and foster new opportunities.
Reception Area: Making a Statement
As you step into the showroom, a bright and welcoming reception area greets you. The impressive liquor display embedded in the wall behind the reception desk immediately captures your attention. Framed by bold, large-format tiles, this striking feature commands attention and sets the tone for a design-focused experience.
Stadium Stairs: A Grand Entrance
A striking architectural feature, the stadium stair invites you to explore different levels of the showroom.
Flooring: AVA SWAY English Oak
The rich tones of the stained English oak wood flooring add warmth and a touch of classic elegance to the stadium stair. We carefully match the stain to the LVT used elsewhere in the showroom, creating a sense of harmony and design continuity.
Entertainment Bar: Where Style Meets Functionality
Next, we move into the vibrant entertainment bar. This stylish and functional space invites guests to gather and explore our diverse range of flooring options.
Flooring: Aphelion Collection Betao Sabbia
The naturally colored tile chosen for this high-traffic area is not only beautiful but also durable and easy to maintain. Its subtle texture and neutral color palette provide a versatile backdrop for showcasing our products, while its inherent strength ensures it can withstand the demands of a busy showroom.
Pantry: A Stylish Backsplash
The pantry area features a stunning backsplash that adds a touch of artistry to this functional space.
Backsplash: UMORE Bologna Rosewood Hex Mosaic
This hexagonal mosaic tile in warm rosewood tones creates a captivating focal point. The natural variation in the wood-look tile adds depth and dimension, transforming the pantry into a visually appealing space.
Library and Research Area: A Quiet Retreat
For those seeking a more tranquil environment, the Library and Research Area offers a quiet space for contemplation and exploration. The flooring here seamlessly connects with the Entertainment Bar and Showroom, creating a sense of flow and continuity.
Flooring: Aphelion Collection Betao Sabbia
The consistent use of Aphelion Collections Betao Sabbia tile throughout the main showroom areas fosters a sense of openness and cohesiveness. The calming color palette and subtle texture create a relaxed atmosphere conducive to focused research and creative brainstorming.
Product Storage: Preserving Quality and Integrity
Dedicated to maintaining the quality and integrity of our products, the Product Storage area provides a carefully controlled environment. Mirroring the design philosophy of the main showroom areas, this space ensures consistency and reinforces our commitment to excellence.
Flooring: American Biltrite AB Pure – Anthracite Rubber Flooring
The selection of American Biltrite’s AB Pure rubber flooring for the storage area reflects both practicality and the overall aesthetic. The durable and resilient nature of rubber flooring provides protection for stored items, while the sophisticated Anthracite color complements the overall design scheme.
