Bespoke Design & Custom Colour
TRANSPRESS
Forbo Flooring Systems’ bespoke design service allows you to create interiors that are unique, visually compelling and aligned with your design vision. Our expert design team supports you at every stage, whether you need help developing concepts or refining digital artwork.
Colour is one of the most intuitive and powerful tools a designer can use to shape the passenger experience. It influences mood and behaviour in subtle yet meaningful ways—whether creating a sense of calm, reducing stress, energising travellers or encouraging focus. When applied thoughtfully, colour can even alter the perception of space, making compact areas feel more open or bringing warmth and intimacy to larger interiors.
Because colour is interpreted uniquely by everyone, designers must balance its emotional and cultural dimensions. Age, background and personal preference all affect how hues are perceived. For some, vibrant shades feel uplifting and expressive; for others, quieter, more timeless palettes evoke comfort and ease. Warm tones can introduce familiarity and welcome, while cooler shades support clarity and tranquillity. With purposeful use, bold accents can inject dynamism or draw attention to key touchpoints throughout the carriage.
Re‑colouration is available throughout our rail flooring ranges:
- Coral FR
- Coral Move Vision FR
- Flotex Vision FR

We colour‑match to physical samples or NCS, RAL and Pantone references, ensuring seamless integration into your wider design scheme.
From high resolution photographic imagery and amended scale pattern repeats to intricate, custom designs, we offer the products and expertise required to transform creative ideas into reality. Our objective is to produce floor coverings that integrate seamlessly with the overall interior scheme, delivering a cohesive and visually impressive result.
Our rail flooring portfolio offers varying levels of creative flexibility. While each collection includes a wide selection of established designs and colourways, some ranges allow colourway customisation within defined design frameworks, while others provide complete design freedom.
Flotex Vision FR
Featuring approximately 70 million fibres per square metre, Flotex Vision FR provides a high-density substrate ideally suited to digital printing. This allows for vibrant colours and true to life visuals in high resolution photographic detail.
Choose from an extensive collection of high definition digitally printed designs, with hundreds of references available. Colourways can be customised to suit specific aesthetic requirements, or you may choose to create a completely bespoke design. Supported by advanced digital print technology, our bespoke design service enables larger scale pattern repeats and vivid, lifelike colour reproduction, offering exceptional design flexibility.
Coral Move Vision FR
Enhance your rail interiors with a luxurious, made to order premium cut pile carpet solution. Coral Move Vision FR is designed to combine refined aesthetic appeal with outstanding durability and long lasting appearance retention, this floor covering performs exceptionally well in busy carriage environments.
Our experienced design team will support you throughout the customisation process, advising on whether a tufted or digitally printed concept best aligns with your design vision. The tufted option offers extensive flexibility, with a broad palette of yarn colourways available, and the assurance that bespoke colours can be matched to your exact specifications (NCS, RAL, Pantone). For even greater creative freedom, the digital print route provides so many possibilities.
Cut to shape & size
Some projects require materials to be cut to precise shapes and sizes to support efficient installation. Using advanced precision cutting technology, individual elements are accurately cut and assembled to create a seamless inlaid visual.
This capability is available across our entire rail portfolio. Our in house design team has the expertise to transform concepts into fully realised flooring solutions.
Whether you begin with an initial idea, a detailed drawing, or a digital file, our team will develop a flooring design that is electronically transferred to state of the art cutting machinery. These computer controlled systems deliver exceptional accuracy—down to a fraction of a millimetre—ensuring a flawless result.
Once inlaid, the design retains all the performance characteristics of the original product. From complete rail layouts and wayfinding to logos or thematic motifs, the creative possibilities are virtually limitless.
Please note that pricing and minimum order quantities may be different for custom colourways or bespoke designs compared with selections from existing design collections. For clarification, please contact your local Transport Key Account Manager or email transport@forbo.com.
