Fo Real!

While I love Fo Flors because it allowed me to come up with a brilliant title for Today’s PixieTip, I also love it because it’s ingeniously, imaginative — apologies for the redundancy. It’s the same company that brought you Scout Bungalow bags. They are area rugs that look like something else — a rug trompe-l’oeil, if you will. 

I found these guys by accident researching one of our tips from Daily Grommet week. I was on the Scout Bungalow bag website searching around for our PixieTip when I saw “area rugs.” I was wondering what in the heck a bag company was doing selling area rugs. And that’s when I realized that this bag company was actually all about our mantra, making life easier.

Some of the rugs are a little campy if you are more on the traditional side like moi. But I feel like in a mudroom or a kid’s playroom they could really work. I’m partial to the barnboard collection but also like the distressed map. They both scream beach or country house to me.

I can now envision coming in from the wet moors to my mudroom with my barnboard area rug. Removing my dirt caked wellies and not having to worry about ruining the rug because this thing sounds almost indestructible! Straight from their mouths “10 Reasons Why FoFlor is “The Best Flooring Ever”:

3. Each rug has “memory,” and always lays flat

4. No wrinkling or creasing after being folded or crumbled

5. Low profile allows doors to pass over easily

6. Neoprene-type cushion construction provides comfort

7. Color-fast designs are permanently dyed

8. Photo-real image quality

9. MicroFibre Rugs have furniture-grade flocked face

10. Made of anti-microbial and stain-resistant microfibers

They can also be cut-to-fit — with scissors — without the fabric unraveling. You can piece together a wall to wall carpet that makes a floor look as if it’s entirely made of barnwood. Seriously, you have click here to see it up close. The rugs are not expensive. They retail for $30-187, doormats 17″x 27″ to area rugs 44″ x 64″ so Organic Structures, Funs & Classics will be able to stomach the purchase.
