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.

Contemporary farmhouse floor design

A couple of weeks ago we did quite a large scale photo shoot down in Kent to show off some really inspirational floor designs combining different colours and textures of carpet tiles.

This was one of my favourite shots featuring a stylish farmhouse kitchen and all the current interiors magazines prove that the colours used on the floor are very up to the minute with latest trends in interior design.

This isn't the final version of the photo but a quick snap taken during the set up.

Products used were Working Week Cut in colour Plant (blue/green colour carpet tiles), Puzzle Pieces in colour Tobacco (brown carpet) and PuzzlePieces in colour Lemon (light cream carpet tiles). This was created mainly using full tiles so something that could be easily recreated in your own home.

My Square Vision!

This is me in my office sporting a lovely Heuga T-shirt!

I've decided it would be smart to write about the fun stuff that we get up to at Heuga.com because it is quite a fun place to be and we want to share our Square Vision with the world! Actually, I just came up with the term Square Vision this morning but I quite like it!

Heuga Home Flooring is all about being creative with your floor. Some people seem to be a bit nervous about straying from the conventional wall to wall carpet, but Heuga carpet tiles offer you a huge range of design options for flooring for your home. Some people just don't like the name 'carpet tiles' so we tried calling it 'modular flooring' to get over this problem but then people get all confused about what it is we are talking about.

Embrace the Tile

There's no need to be scared - it is time to be brave and embrace the endless possibilities of modular flooring, carpet tiles, carpet squares - whatever you want to call it !

Here's a couple of my favourite pictures to ease you into the world of creative flooring!

Modern Floor Combination in the Dining Room

This is my favourite Heuga photo. Part of my job includes organising photography with a fab bunch of great people (will cover them later) so forgive me for feeling passionate about the results. Anyway this shot shows WoodWork around the edge of a rug of DayDream. This demonstrates how simple it is to make a floor more interesting and create a focus point for the room.

WoodWork is a great product as it looks like wood but is soft like carpet. Now that we have all experienced the faults of laminate - cold, hard, dust covered stuff - our WoodWork product ticks the boxes of stylish design with homey comfort.

DayDream is my favourite Heuga product (the light coloured product in the centre of the picture above). This comes in 3 similar light beige type colours, Cotton is my favourite as shown here. This has a lovely chunky texture design and looks like wool.

Luxurious Bedroom Floor Design

This picture shows an elaborate posh bedroom scheme with a fabulous luxurious floor.

The main product is Luxury Living in colour ice cream - a really stylish and stunning product combining three different textures in the same colour to create this subtle striped design.

In designer speak - the red carpet around the bed enhances the image of grandeur and adds a really stylish focus for the room. This red carpet is PuzzlePieces in colour Amaryllis.

PuzzlePieces comes in 20 colours and is a really great product to combine with others. If you love the colour red or orange or green, but you're a little nervous about having a floor entirely in that one colour then this is the perfect solution as you can add a border or a rug effect or a little focal point wherever you like to add your own personal touch to your design scheme.
