WHAT
FLOOR360 Milwaukee has partnered with Milwaukee Magazine to launch Design for a Difference – Milwaukee. Design for a Difference is the first-ever community-driven movement that brings socially-conscious design-driven flooring showrooms together with interior designers and other businesses to makeover much needed spaces at local charities. The movement was started by the International Design Guild membership including local Madison and Milwaukee based business FLOOR360. In Milwaukee, FLOOR360 performed a makeover for Walker’s Point Youth and Family Center in 2019 which was organized and planned by a volunteer design team and made possible with donations from area businesses. In 2022, an interior makeover was performed at the Grand Avenue Club in Milwaukee thanks to a team of interior designers and generosity of the Milwaukee business and volunteer community. The third makeover took place at Association for the Rights of Citizens with handicaps or ARCh in Waukesha.
