Total design flexibility and freedom
January 29, 2025
Moduleo Moods unlocks the design potential of a flooring choice to create a uniquely personal interior with their luxury vinyl collection.
To unlock a world of total design freedom, an additional nine base shapes and the full palette from the Moduleo Roots collection are on hand to give homeowners complete flexibility.
With a completely new range of original patterns from the latest in natural wood and stone effects, Moduleo Moods is ready to help homeowners bring their creative ideas to life.
Moduleo’s in-house designers have developed 15 patterns across a range of natural wood and stone decors to give over 70 different standard floor designs. Homeowners can now enjoy everything from bold, high-contrast diamond patterns and wood and stone chevrons to geometric twists on floral designs or subtle wood hexagons. Moods transforms interior spaces from ordinary to bespoke, simply through four shapes and 12 authentic wood and stone effects.
Every choice of wood and stone in Moods – including classics such as Blackjack Oak, Sierra Oak and Triana – also features EIR (emboss in register) and an ultra-matt surface to give a true natural look. Each of these options come in Moduleo’s 0.55mm luxury vinyl specification, with scratch and stain protection to ensure they can withstand use in hallways and living spaces. As Moduleo is also water-resistant, bathrooms too can enjoy any Moods design. Better still, Moduleo Moods is easy to clean, so it stays looking good in the busiest of family homes.
