I love my FLOR!

My Saturday task was to install the FLOR system into our utility/laundry room. I wanted to hide the not-so-pleasant vinyl that was in there and wanted something softer on our feet as we do our laundry.

I have always been a fan of the FLOR system for its practical way of cleaning and not being committed to carpet for life. Just lift one tile, clean and replace. What a great concept.

All you need is three things to install: a "T" square ruler to help you get those straight edges, a utility carpet knife, and the FLOR dots to keep the carpet tiles in place.

The FLOR tile that I have chosen is called Mocha, a mix of browns and warm grays, and this particular blend will visually help conceal the dirt. I also chose this carpet tile for its durability for "high traffic" areas.


Not bad, eh? I must admit, installing these FLOR tiles was very easy. You just need a little patience measuring those odd little crook and crannies.

I had some leftover FLOR squares so I decided to use them for our front entry area. These tiles are very versatile and can easily fit in any space. The color I have selected is pretty neutral, but if you go to their site they have some very fun and bold hues that can brighten up any space.

I don't think I ever took a picture of our front hallway with our entry table. This is what you will see when you first enter our front home. Do you see the white branch-like structure, that holds all our keys. I posted about this branch stand once before, it's from Urban Outfitters. It can be used as a jewelry/necklace stand too.
