Big Deal: Disney Princess and Cars Rug On Sale At FLOR

Chris Ford — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:58:00 GMT

I'm a big fan of the interchangeable carpet tiles from FLOR, but one design that they have that is almost never on sale is now on sale. The six tile Disney Princess rug and the six tile Disney Cars rug are now 44% off.

Each rug is 3 feet by 5 feet and is compatible with other FLOR tile colors too, in case you'd like to use it as a part of a bigger floor covering design. I've had FLOR tiles in my home now and I love them. Now I have to make sure my daughter doesn't see these or she'll be bugging me for her own princess rug.

Disney Area Rugs - Princess or Cars by FLOR, $59.99 (was $99.99) at the sale page of FLOR.com

$2000 for a Rug With Holes in It?

SunnyChanel — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 17:02:00 GMT

Yeah, this carpet is 1) not totally practical 2) a challenge to incorporate into a room design and 3) expensive. But it is one good thing. Fun. This MILES carpet is made from hand-tufted virgin wool from the color you pick from a wide Pantone range of hues that are offered. Yes, it does defy the general concept of a carpet, with it’s holes and gaps, but it’s perfect for landing a Playmobile plane or taking the Hot Wheels for a drive. How much does this Carpet Maze cost? £1,039.50 or over $2000. Yeah, a bit much for a rug with holes in it. Click here for more info.

Skull And Bones Rugs From Flor

Just in time for Halloween, Flor has a new style of carpet tile that, while it's good for the holiday, might also be something adolescent boys might like as well. The Funny Bones area rug is black and white and full of skulls. But unlike it's name, there isn't anything funny (or cutesy) about it.

The area rug is made up of 9 tiles and measures to about five feet by five feet. But because it's made up of carpet tiles you can always customize it to the dimensions you want.

A few weeks ago, Babble wrote about FLOR’s new line of carpet tiles using Alexander Girard’s design “La Fonda Del Sol”. Today the carpet tiles are officially available. These tiles would be genius in a nursery- practical, whimsical, brightly colored, and pure fun.

Go to FLOR’s website for all the details including interesting info. on the man himself.

FLOR is launching a new line of carpet tiles using Alexander Girard’s design called “La Fonda Del Sol”, his famous sun pattern. These bright and imaginative graphics would make any room pop but are particularly fresh and fun for a nursery. There are four color choices (purple, green, blue and orange) but all designs incorporate a variety of colors so they could work with any color scheme. Create a child safe corner in your living room or use them as an area rug in front of your couch.

Big Deal: FLOR Carpet Tiles for Kids On Sale

Chris Ford — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:13:00 GMT

FLOR are the tile-sized squares of carpet that are a great alternative to traditional rugs and carpet (that I've sung the praises about before). Right now they have some selected tiles on sale, including some tiles for children's rooms.

The patterns for kid's rooms are Happy Landings (a subtle, airplane design that looks thoroughly modern - pictured) and Raining Cats and Dogs (available in "Blue Sky" or "Orange Thunder"). Both were originally $10.99/tile, but Happy Landings is now $8.79/tile and Raining Cats and Dogs is $7.69/tile.

FLOR Carpet Tiles for Kid's Rooms

Chris Ford — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:07:00 GMT

If you're decorating your son or daughter's room and are looking for something warm to cover the hardwood flooring, FLOR might be a good alternative. They now have carpeting options for children's rooms, including Disney Princesses, Pixar Cars and Classic Pooh.

But what exactly is FLOR? FLOR is a company that makes tile-sized squares of carpet that you buy individually and then arrange any way you want. You can use them to create anything from an area rug to wall-to-wall carpet. The designs they have for kid's rooms are really great too. If you would rather shy away from the Disney Princess thing, they have other, more modern designs (like the puzzles design pictured above) that look really cool. I've used them for years and have been very happy.

Just don't tell my daughter they have the Princesses. Please.

Disney / FLOR Kids, available for $4.09 to $6.20 per square foot from FLOR.com
