Installing carpet tiles design

It's that time of year again when I'm all consumed with next year's catalogue. The layout is looking great and we have stepped it up a bit to make it a little more stylish. Obviously a key part of the catalogue is the images and we had a photo shoot a couple of months back to get some new shots all showing great combinations of colours and textures.

I have some step by step pictures below of one of the more complicated floor designs. Mike Reynolds (creative director) designed the floor, inspired by vibrant colourful flames and the warmth and welcoming ambiance that a fire adds to a home.

Eddie Kempster and his team of fitters were on board to install the design.
Initially they installed the Country Classic colour Pecan as the background floor . Then they cut and laid the coloured tiles of Tender Touch on top. We photographed the layout and then they cut and lay it into the background floor using the photo for reference. This was certainly a job for professional fitters!

The all important final touches were added by Avril O'Donnell (stylist).

Once all was ready including lighting and a roaring fire, two brothers were brought in to play Monopoly in the background and finally photographer Nick Yarsley took the shot.

The final shot is a stunning demonstration of what you can achieve with FLOR by heuga carpet tiles - a completely unique floor design!

The result is both cosy and warming and funky and modern – the flame device looks like a free form rug - a unique new way of having the design impact of a rug that is created specifically for the room.
