Yeah...My sweet pitbull-mix puppy didn't know the difference between the rug and his rope-toy and chewed off the corner. So, I've been rug-free in the living room for a few months. Up until last night, that is!
I took advantage of a 25%-off sale Flor was having on their carpet tiles and decided to take the leap and try out their product. Flor tiles are modular, low-pile carpet tiles that can easily be cleaned (rinsed) and each tile can be replaced without ruining the rest of the carpet. This is the best solution for a house with 4-5 dogs where accidents rarely, but do, happen.
I picked the "Lasting Grateness" pattern in a teal color and I love it! The teal really brightens up my living room and adds some pizzazz, which is a nice change from the bare floors I've had. I thought I would regret not getting the rug in a gray or navy color, but I think the bright rug is a perfect contrast to the dark sectional and light-gray walls. I set my tiles in a parkay-like pattern and installed them all while watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
My dogs love the rug too!
Since I've only had the rug for about 12 hours, I cannot speak about the longevity of the tiles. If the rug is as durable as it already seems, I definitely want to get a black and white striped pattern for my office! I'll be testing this baby out for a few months and I'll give you guys an update on how it's held up. This rug was definitely an investment, but I would rather spend some $$ on a rug that I can easily clean than spend $100-200 to replace an entire rug each time my dogs tear it up.

What do you guys think of carpet tiles?
