As our everyday lives become faster, louder, and more overwhelming, the spaces we live in are turning into quiet sanctuaries. Interiors no longer aim to impress, but to calm. Clean lines, natural textures, and materials that breathe have become the new language of luxury. Peace of mind, it seems, has become the most precious commodity.

And beneath it all? A quiet revolution is taking place—one that begins with the floor. Whether you walk into a stylish apartment, a boutique hotel, or a thoughtfully designed office, chances are you’re standing on luxury vinyl flooring (LVT). It may look like wood, stone, or even concrete—but it’s more durable, more comfortable, and far more adaptable to modern life. One of the pioneers of this revolution in the region is the family-owned company Dizajn Pod, led by Albert Matošević. They were among the first to bring LVT to the Croatian market and remain at the forefront of innovation in flooring.

“People naturally strive for better—but better doesn’t mean louder or trendier. It means spaces that truly serve the way we live,” says Matošević. “We introduced luxury vinyl flooring as a response to real needs: functionality, aesthetics, and quality—all in one.”

Why LVT?

Luxury vinyl flooring offers a realistic look of natural materials—oak, marble, stone—while providing practical benefits that traditional flooring can’t match. It’s resistant to moisture and wear, warm to the touch, silent underfoot, easy to clean, and compatible with underfloor heating.

The beauty of LVT is more than surface-level. It blends high-end design with long-term durability and sustainability. Thanks to modern manufacturing, these floors are free of harmful emissions and created with minimal environmental impact.

“We’ve always believed in combining aesthetics with responsibility,” Matošević explains. “LVT floors deliver the visual richness of wood or stone without exploiting natural resources.”

Three Installation Options, One Smart Solution

To meet the varying demands of different interiors, Dizajn Pod offers luxury vinyl flooring in three installation systems. The Dryback (glue-down) method is ideal for high-traffic spaces that require long-term durability and a stable, refined finish. For projects that need speed and efficiency, the Click system allows for quick installation without adhesives—perfect for time-sensitive renovations. Meanwhile, the LooseLay system offers the ultimate flexibility, with glue-free tiles that are easy to replace and seamlessly combine with other floor coverings like carpets. Regardless of the method, each option delivers the same level of comfort, resilience, and aesthetic excellence, making them a go-to choice for designers seeking both beauty and practicality.

Design Without Compromise

Today’s interiors demand more than beauty—they need to be personal. LVT flooring opens up endless creative possibilities. From the elegant Therdex Chevron collection that mimics raw oak to sleek abstract textures, these floors add character without sacrificing performance.

“The real luxury isn’t loud,” says Matošević. “It’s in the details. It’s the soft texture under your feet, the way light dances across the surface, the quiet you feel as soon as you step in.”

And it’s exactly that combination of visual elegance and practical comfort that’s made LVT the go-to solution for modern homes, hotels, and premium business spaces.

Comfort That Lasts

Sound insulation, warmth, soft surface, ease of cleaning—LVT brings all the qualities of a high-end lifestyle into everyday living. And when installed by certified professionals, the results are flawless.

In its projects, Dizajn Pod emphasizes the blend of aesthetics and functionality in the service of people and tranquility. For example, through the use of elegant French weave Therdex Chevron vinyl flooring, they achieve a perfect interpretation of the natural beauty and texture of raw oak. At the same time, LVT floors offer greater durability, pleasant warmth, and ease of maintenance that classic parquet cannot match. Thanks to this unique combination of elegance and practicality, such floors are an increasingly common choice in the most luxurious villas and thoughtfully designed interiors.

“For me, an interior is not just a space – it's a story about lifestyle, about people’s needs, and about how they feel when they walk in. Our strength comes precisely from our clients, who recognize the quality of our professional solutions that we’ve stood behind for years. When you offer people warmth, attention, and excellent service while collaborating with other experts in the field, you not only make the process easier – you save them the most valuable thing of all: time. And then the gratitude comes back a hundredfold. Clients recognize that we breathe with them, share the passion for design, and make sure that a space truly becomes the peaceful haven they look forward to returning to.” – concluded Albert Matošević.
