FLOR’s Martha Stewart Floor Designs, available in a variety of styles, colors and textures, are a good start for budget-conscious DIY’ers who want to create tranquil and intimate bedrooms, vibrant family rooms and warm, inviting living areas, says the FLOR team.

The Martha Steward carpet styles come in 9 different collections with multiple patterns in each collection.  Pricing ranges $5-6+ sq. ft, and the carpet tiles can be purchased directly from the FLOR website, or various FLOR retail outlets.

FLOORING: Mohawk explains why their carpet is green home ready

When a carpeting company claims to offer a green home remodel solution, what do they mean?   This week Mohawk puts their stamp on an explanation:

• Today, Mohawk will recycle 8 million plastic bottles, turning it into 275,000 square
  yards of beautiful carpeting.
• Today, Mohawk will divert more than 475,000 pounds from going into a landfill,
  recycling it into usable materials.
• Today, Mohawk will produce hardwood flooring that reclaims wood from torn-down buildings.
• Today, Mohawk will use renewably sourced materials instead of petroleum-based
  products to make soft, durable, stain-resistant carpeting.
• Mohawk will do all this and hundreds of more Earth-friendly efforts. And Mohawk
  will do it tomorrow, the day after that and every day following.
