Danielle Proud, interior designer, Sunday Times columnist and all-round crafty girl, has transformed a Georgian townhouse in central London into a multi-themed house to showcase the versatility of carpet. I love the graphic, floral-cut patchwork sections that are used as the staircase runner. And the moose's head? It's carpet, too. The kids' room has been given a jungle makeover, and features a carpet bookcase and a flower-pot chair. Check out the Fun on the Floor website for more info.
I loved the carpet when it was featured in the ST's Style magazine. How cheery would be that to come home to everyday. I want one..if only...

Hmm, I was just looking for a rug, that has given me an idea. Wish I was crafty enough to make one myself. Maybe if I start small hey?

Peta - a rug in this carpet sounds rad. Do it!

Having a great theme for your child's bedroom can be very interesting. These is one example that will definitely blow your breath away. Carpet have been used for floors and as years goes buys, many products can be made out of it. There are bags, artworks and other stuff. This is a great example of what can we make out of carpets. Thanks a lot for the feature. More power. kids will definitely love it.

Even the moose head is made of carpet? How did Danielle make it sturdy? That's amazing! I love the flower design of the carpet runner too, especially the way the flowers came off of the runner and got extended through the walkway. What a brilliant design!
