Create your own Rug Design with Carpet Tiles

My own dream rug

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: Lazy Lounge and Puzzle Pieces



Some time ago I was flipping through a lifestyle magazine, when my eye caught a rug competition from FLOR by heuga saying "Win your self-designed dream rug". I got enthusiastic straight away. I thought it would be great to create your own design choosing from different carpet tile designs from the FLOR by heuga range. First I ordered the FLOR by heuga brochure to get an idea of the different colours available. I was impressed by the options, there are so many! Not only the spectrum of colours is great, there are also many different textures to choose from. I started with my design right away. I chose a combination of high and cut pile tiles in different shades of purple which match perfectly with my décor. I submitted my design and was really surprised to receive a phone call telling me I was the winner a few weeks later!

Fitting my rug was easy with the so-called TacTiles which were included in the delivery. These are connectors that you use to stick the tiles within your rug together. I'm very pleased with the result. The mixture of high and cut pile finishes and the beautiful colours create warmth in my home. And it's very easy to change the design if I want. All I need to do is detach the tiles and create another design. Or change a few tiles by another colour for a completely new look!

Change a Boring Space into Something Unique

Initially we decided against carpets and installed laminate throughout our apartment, but soon we found it cold and lacking any character. We got the idea from a magazine to create our own rug using FLOR by heuga carpet tiles and this meant we could put our own stamp on the design choosing the colours and layout ourselves. So this is what we did! We are really pleased to have created our own self-designed rug and we are delighted with the end result.

Fun Flooring for Kids' Rooms

Caterpillar Design on the Floor

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: PuzzlePieces

I created this floor for my niece's bedroom using PuzzlePieces. The caterpillar design on the floor was a direct copy of a picture on the wallpaper border in her bedroom. Using carpet tiles like this is a great way to coordinate the room and create a fun atmosphere. Drawing the design on the tiles and cutting the tiles was a bit tricky. I spent a whole day drawing each section of the caterpillar onto paper then had to cut very carefully and make sure to get it all to match up but it was definitely worth it to get such a great result. My niece was thrilled and really loves it! Sharon Hart, Hertfordshire, UK

Daisy Design in Coloured Carpet Tiles

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: Tender Touch and Soft Senses

This is a picture of my daughter's bedroom. My daughter's name is Daisy and I wanted to do something special in her bedroom and designed the theme personally for her. I used a few different colours of carpet tiles from the SoftSenses and Tender Touch ranges. Towards the bed I drew and cut a moon and a star. I did the template for this design using a dinner plate (centre of the daisy) the weighing tray from my scales (for the petals) and then drew the stalk and leaves by hand. It is nice to be able to do something unique in the bedroom and not many people seem to do something interesting on the floor so I?m really pleased with this and my daughter thinks it's really cool.

Fabulous flooring that's practical too!

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: DayDream



DayDreamcarpet tiles from FLOR by heuga are a real surprise, I always thought of carpet tiles as office flooring and would never have considered them for my home until I saw the FLOR by heuga catalogue and website.
I wanted a soft, natural and modern texture for my newly extended sitting room and DayDream does the job perfectly. It looks and feels like carpet (our friends and family can't believe it isn't) and was so easy to lay we did it ourselves. As tiles can be switched around or replaced when they get dirty they are a practical option in a room like ours which has direct access from the garden.

Additional husbands notes: We weren't sure in what pattern to lay the tiles, so made a few alternative grids (4 x 4 tiles), one in random, and one where all the arrows point in the same direction (you call it 'monolithic'). We finally chose monolithic. We also followed the fitting instructions and laid out a vertical column and a horizontal row in order to line up the edges, then we filled in the full tiles. The edge tiles were measured by flipping the tile over and sliding it under the adjacent tile and then scribing the back. I then used a sharp knife and steel edge (spirit level) to cut the tile. I had a few difficulties cutting the corners and around the door architrave, but I only wasted 1 tile.

TV Makeover Shows

PuzzlePieces is a great design for ITV's 60 Minute Makeover

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: PuzzlePieces.

The home decoration show featured the bedroom of a young boy called Finn. Two year old Finn has Cerebral Palsy and his bedroom was transformed with a fantastic racing car theme.

Interior designer John Amabile created stripes in 3 colours of PuzzlePieces. This created a smart soft look that was appropriate to the racing car theme. A practical and stylish choice, carpet tiles are great for creating something unique, which can be as simple or as flamboyant as you like.

Unfortunately the image from the show doesn't show much of the floor, but see below for two fun designs (one stripey and one hopscoth) created using FLOR by heuga carpet tiles.

Property Ladder Makeover

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles: Funky Feet and LuxuryLiving

We were renovating a run down art deco house to a very high standard and wanted a quality contemporary flooring upstairs. We chose FLOR by heuga carpet tiles because they have that "wow" factor which we were looking for. They were perfect to put onto the solid oak flooring which we were anxious to preserve but wanted the warmth and luxury of carpet on the floors.

They were fitted easily and quickly and have not damaged the flooring beneath them at all. The added benefit of carpet tiles is that if, or should I say when, our two year old son does some irreparable damage to part of the carpet in his room we won't need to replace the whole lot - a tile or two will certainly work out much cheaper. Also we are thinking of maybe integrating some different colour tiles in some of the rooms to make a truly funky and different look. With carpet tiles the possibilities are endless and we can change the look whenever we wish for little effort and expense. We are absolutely thrilled with the finished product.

Thanks

WoodWork from FLOR by heuga - perfect soft replacement for Laminate Flooring.

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: WoodWork



I am really pleased with our new floor from FLOR by heuga. Previously we had laminate flooring throughout our living room, but this was cold and hard. With this stylish modular flooring we have a great wood-effect look, but with all the benefits of soft flooring.
It is ideal for our kids to play on as it is warm and soft. In the picture this is me with my daughters Amy and Katy who love their new play area. Because it is soft, it is also quieter and safer so I can leave them to play safely in peace. The laminate flooring was difficult to keep clean with the constant accumulation of dust and cat hairs, but this is no longer a problem and I just vacuum the floor as normal.
At first, I was reluctant to buy carpet tiles as I thought they would be old fashioned, but the Heuga website is really inspiring and their products are really modern and trendy. I would certainly recommend them especially the WoodWork range which is a really stylish design.

Soft Natural Flooring.

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: DayDream



DayDream is a lovely flooring product from FLOR by heuga. The natural colours and soft texture make this a really smart and modern floor. With young children and a young puppy, carpet tiles are a great alternative to normal carpet because it is so easy to clean a tile or even replace it if it becomes stained or damaged. I wouldn?t dare have such a light coloured floor if it wasn?t tiles, for fear that it would be ruined. Everyone seems to be going for light natural colours these days and this is a really practical solution that is also modern and stylish.
I am really impressed with FLOR by heuga flooring and it is great to see some new distinctive flooring products.

Combining Colours to Create Flooring Patterns.

Colourful Flooring at Kingfisher PreSchool, Marlow

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: WalkWay

Thank you for all your help in arranging the order of the new floor tiles for the children's story room at Kingfisher Pre-School.
As you can see from the enclosed photographs, the room looks bright and cheery and the children love it.

Thank you from all at the Kingfisher Pre-School, Marlow, Bucks.

WalkWay is a very hardwearing product particularly suitable for areas of heavy use and where spillage is likely. Using a combination of 3 colours of tiles means you can create stripes, chequerboard or a pattern of your choice. If you fancy a change you can always rearrange the tiles and the tiles are interchangebable so if you do have a spillage or a mishap you can replace a tile with one from somewhere less visible.

Soft Rug Effect to Create Separate Dining Space

FLOR by heuga carpet tiles used: PuzzlePieces

This is the dining area in my home before I laid any carpet tiles. My house is open plan downstairs with the living room leading into the dining room space. I wanted to create a separately defined area for eating and I read somewhere that carpet tiles were a great solution for zoning and defining a separate area in the home. The whole of the downstairs area is laminate floor so it was pretty boring before I added some colour and softness with the carpet tiles in nice modern shades of cream and blue.

I ordered 2m2 (8 tiles) of five colours so I had 40 tiles to play with. I tried out a few different layouts including stripes, chequerboard and random patterns.


I read in the Design Assistant section of the FLOR by heuga website that different patterns have an effect on how you view a room and it was interesting to see how different the room looked with the different designs.


I finally settled for a nice pattern using all the colours. I used some of the left over tiles in the living room to create a rug in there as it breaks up the laminate flooring and adds a bit of colour to the room. Again I simply laid them on the laminate flooring and stuck them down with double sided tape.


I am really pleased with the rug I designed as it separates the dining area and brightens up the whole space. I enjoyed trying out different patterns with the carpet tiles before settling on the final one and sticking the tiles down with double sided tape.


If I fancy a change I can simply move the tiles around which is really neat!
