Revamp Your Home with a New Carpet from Fun on the Floor
The undisputed Queen of Craft, DIY fanatic, interior designer and busy Mum – Danielle Proud, is on a mission to bring back to life the nation’s love of carpet flooring with ‘Fun on the Floor’, a new campaign, that brings new meaning to the art of carpeting, through showing the latest and greatest fresh ideas in fluffy flooring from a completely different perspective .
Through using traditional carpet, along with the newest designs and technologies, Danielle is pioneering the ‘Fun on the Floor’ movement by curating and designing a astonishing, five storey house to exhibit modern, super-stylish and luxurious applications for carpeting. The designs are completely affordable and diversity of textures style and colour mean there will be something to suit all tastes.
To mark the resurgence Danielle is creating a quirky, themed, styled space that features six differently themed rooms. The Fun on the Floor house will be a demonstration of how carpet is a material that can transform a home without costing the earth through a combination of texture, style and colour. People who go and have a look for themselves can expect to explore the sensorial nature of carpet, appreciate its luxurious look and enjoy the fluffy feeling underfoot – as well appreciate the sound absorbent qualities such a carpet provides.
The year just gone saw a revival of Seventies style in many different areas. High-waisted, wide leg trousers and floaty, floral maxi dresses are all over the fashion magazines, while Eagles and Led Zeppelin concerts are as popular as they ever were. In regards to the home, Shagpile carpet flooring and deep shades of Biba-esque purple are becoming leading trends in interior design.
Leading carpet manufacturers have announced a huge 400% increase in sales of Shagpile carpet over the past few years and the primary focus in new carpet sales is in new-style, textured flooring – from jumbo yarns and irregular hand knotted styles, to carpets made to look like pom poms.
In terms of colour, on trend customers and interior designers have been requesting classic 70’s shades such as deep purple, tangerine orange, and forest green.
The Fun on the Floor house will be open in July exclusively to media and then as a working showcase to consumers to explore options for their own home with on-hand expert advice.
