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.

There is a lot I could do with my home right now. There are rooms that don’t even have a thing on the walls because I’m so darn picky on what goes there so those rooms don’t look very inviting at all.

Man do we need to decorate. We turned a very old church into a 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home and there has been no time or extra money to even think about decorating. We are just finishing the carpet in the recroom and have nothing to put in there yet. Three of our five kids like it now for their toys but it is an open area and the sound really travels.
Morning Coffee is pretty neat
Morning Coffee is my fav.
I was just looking at our kitchen rug earlier today thinking how nasty it has gotten. We really need to replace it and Morning Coffee would totally do the trick.

Oh this house definitely needs serious updating. It is a toss up between the main bathroom and the kitchen. Both need some serious work. However, DH thinks they are both fine. *sigh*

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.

I love Square Dance in Tan/Brown!

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.
