I am thankful for
Interface carpet tiles. The bane of installing a new
bamboo floor here at the
Fig Garden Project is the constant cleaning, Swiffer-ing and wiping to keep the planks looking clean and pristine. But a shipment of a mixed assortment of Interface carpet tiles will do its part to protect the floor and add a splash of color and texture to the living room.
And while I admit that I did a quick run to the local Target to pick up some throw rugs on clearance (I do have two dogs
adjusting here, after all), I wanted something nicer and more sustainable to show off the floor. Installation is as easy as the company makes it sound--in fact, it is more difficult to figure out the pattern you want than actually laying the tiles on a flat surface. The low-VOC TacTiles keep the carpet squares together and are fool-proof. The result is a
vintage dining room set that will not scuff or mark the floors.
Interface carpet tiles come in a stunning array of colors and patterns and offer a bevy of design possibilities. All are made of varying percentages of recycled content--a testament to its late founder and CEO,
Ray Anderson. Order
online--or you may be lucky to find some on eBay.

Interface carpet tiles are easy to install!
