If your anything like me, you know that decorating can take forever and often is very difficult to find patterns that really go in your home. I’m just now getting around the curtains and matching sheets and I am 30 years old. Breaking college habits are hard. Then when you have a child, it seems to take even more of a backseat.
When we discovered FLOR from our blogging friend Jaqueline, we knew it was a must have on MomDot with our readers, and a must have in our own home. What makes FLOR unique is that you don’t just buy a rug or a FLOR mat, you CREATE your carpet, customizable and limited only by your own imagination.
With the ability to buy individual tiles, you can create the exact look you want in your home. From funky and fresh, to stripes and squares, and even a way to bring your child’s room to life, the possibilities are endless with Flor.
About FLOR:
Launched in the spring of 2003 and based in Elmhurst, Illinois (just outside Chicago), FLOR is a line of design-inspired carpet squares for the home that lets you create unique area rugs, runners or wall-to-wall carpet designs quickly and easily.
The company was founded on the idea that carpet could be fun, stylish, practical and responsible. We think FLOR carpet tiles answer the call. The modular design means you can customize FLOR to fit any size space, even the most difficult layout, and take FLOR with you wherever you go. FLOR is also eco-friendly having some of the lowest Volatile Organic Compound emissions (VOCs) in the industry. Plus, FLOR comes in a wide variety of colors, patterns and textures so it gives you freedom to create exactly the right design for your room and your style.
One of Flors brand new designs, and best sellers, is the Tuxedo design. And we do love it as well!

But what we really, really fell in love with is their 5×7 Sea Grass rugs, available in either acorn/reed or brook/moon.


The Sea Grass Stripe Rug arranges broad bands of Velvet Twist tiles in natural, understated tones, creating a versatile accent that is clean and sophisticated. FLOR has done the work for you by providing pre-cut tiles for this design; all you have to do is assemble and enjoy. Available in three sizes and two color choices, each rug includes FLOR dots and a detailed rug map for quick and easy installation. For a fun do-it-yourself project, download Rug Map 2 (below) and browse “Room Views” (to the left) for more ideas. Use pieces of Sea Grass Rug to create something new – cut and rearrange tiles to build this unique design, featured on The Martha Stewart Show!
In fact, if FLOR wanted to send one over to me, I would be happy to test it out! Goodness knows I have about 10 years of decorating I need to catch up with. One thing about having a house fire, is that the few things you have accumulated like that, are all gone and its the last thing you replace.
What we wanted to do is help you start your new year with the decorating bug and also show you this amazing site and how you can get your home up to speed.

We need updating in our house. My hubby is the type “if it isnt broke it doesnt need fixing”. We have the ugliest laminate flooring…and could use a new rug to cover it up some.

I love the buttons! I also liked funny bones and putt up or shut up! Though my 6 year old would love the princess rugs!
We really need to get organized. There seems to be so much clutter everywhere. Escpecially in our office.
I like the Hello Down There! So cute!
I love the Plush Crush in red.

My home is a mismatch of my hubby’s style and mine. We are trying to get rid of the old and make it less cluttered and simplify!
What nice rugs. I love the Classic Pooh Patchwork. That would look great in my oldest’s room.
My absolute favorite is the needlepoint stripe in ginger. I have been drooling over that for a VERY long time now.

My husband and I have been living with my family for several months now to save some money. We are moving soon but, will have to start from scratch since we sold all of our belongings in our last move. A beautiful rug would be a great start!

I am obsessed with the Souk Chic rug. It is so gorgeous and colorful and I love it.

Decorating in our home. There is none! The folks we bought our home from were kind enough to make everything neutral tones before they left. We have painted the nursery twice to solid colors (but there’s nothing on the walls) and we finally painted our bedroom in September. We have no pics on the walls. We have no color to speak of.
Did I mention that we made a resolution together? To do SOMETHING with this house 3 years later!

I love Souk Chic! It’s just enough funky to pick up my spirits just about any time.

I like the Hello Down There! but think the one picked is def the best
Ok I’ve honestly had a picture from the Flor catalog on my vision board since June. It would be great to check it off my list. I think it is Morning Coffee in Latte with a Solid Ground border in Chocolate.

My house is slow to decorate, we’ve partially done the living room and bedrooms. As for tips, I say do it one room at a time and start with the furniture and work colors in from there.

Oh wow, how perfect is it that the rug you’re giving away matches my living room to a T and we need something soft in there so badly.
I love the Disney Princess one, that would be so cute in my girl’s room.

I have just barely started decorating in my home. We’ve lived here for over 2 years, and I finally got the front room painted, and I’ve been picking up pieces for it a little at a time. Now I need to move on to the kitchen, and then we’ll move up to the bedrooms which have curtains up, but that’s it. There’s all white walls, with absolutely nothing on them.
