simply floored: new designs from flor


I’m constantly on the quest for the perfect rug: something stylish, affordable, and durable enough to standup to the abuse from two less-than-tidy adults and two poorly-behaved felines. An option I’ve been considering is FLOR, since it’s totally customizable, affordable, and easy to repair when damaged. I must say, after receiving their most recent catalog, I’m even more intrigued. They’ve got a bunch of new designs that would work well in our space, such as the Missoni-esque Mag-neat-o-radiant, $24.99/tile. Even more appealing is the Sophistikat, a modern, chevron ikat pattern priced at a much more moderate $12.99/tile. But apparently, everyone’s digging the Sophistikat — it’s currently backordered (cue sad trombone). I better find the right choice soon, because between now and Feb. 2, FLOR is offering free shipping on first orders with code CBLM5RA7. –Megan B.




OMG love these new looks. But previous experience with FLOR tiles is that it was really hard to get them to stick together, they moved all the time in a high-traffic area. Did anyone else have these problems?
Tempted to say: The heck with the carpet, I want those chairs!! Angela, I think people in the past have recommended good old-fashioned duct tape. (You’d kind of think Flor would have addressed these concerns by now…)
