Hi. Welcome to the World of Floorigami.

You’re on the brink of DIY stardom. Follow these simple steps to transform your room in an afternoon. If you need a little help, floorigami.com has ideas, downloadable instructions and more. Most of all, have fun. You got this. Don’t forget to snap some pics before you begin. Your wow-worthy transformation should be seen by all. Show the world your masterpiece using #Floorigami. Lucky for you, Floorigami works with almost any existing hard surface. But it isn’tdesigned to go over carpet or carpet padding. Just pop it on top of that floor thatneeds a makeover. Voila, cue happy dance.

It’s hard to believe, but this is all you need:

Let's do this.

Prep Every work of art begins with a fresh canvas. Move the furniture, pets and children out of the way. Sweep it clean and confirm you have a structurally sound, clean, level and dry hard surface. If you’re creating a Floorigami area rug, we’ve got you covered. Visit flooragami.com for pattern ideas and inspiration.
Measure This masterpiece will begin as close to the center of the room as possible. Use a tape measure to find the center of your two longest, straightest walls. Measure a line from each until they intersect and mark the center. Now, snap a chalk line through the center of your room, dividing your room in half. (Chalk lines are easy and kind of fun. For reals.) You will install half the room before moving on to the other half.
Design & Place Start from the center of the room and lay out your design using the directional arrows on the back of each tile. For larger rooms, peel and stick the first tile, but continue laying out the remainder of the tiles with the liner still on the adhesive until your full pattern is achieved. Use a pyramid technique as you add tiles to give you multiple alignment checks. As you approach the wall, you’ll have tiles that don’t fit. It’s okay. We’ll cut those later for a perfect fit. Or, feel free to leave a border for a stylish large rug look.
Attach & Cut When your design is finalized, it’s time for the fun.Starting from the middle, simply peel the liner from the back and position each tile snuggly to the next tile. Slide each tile into position so you don’t trap any fibers between them, and be sure those arrows are still pointing in the right direction. As you approach the wall, it’s time to cut. For simple cuts, flip the tile over and mark where it needs to be cut. Using your straight edge and carpet knife, cut the tile to size from the back. For tricky cuts, visit floorigami.com.
Enjoy! Congratulations. You’re officially a DIY rockstar. Be sure to vacuum your carpet to pick up loose fibers.Now, quickly look around. If no one’s looking, do the most ridiculous happy dance you’ve ever done, because you’ve earned the right.

THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

Floorigami is a mindset, founded on the belief that design and flexibility can go hand in hand. And that a cozier, more comfortable room should be within everyone’s reach. Small space, apartment, rug or room—just clear it, sweep it, peel and stick. If you’re inspired today, you can feel the warmth of carpet beneath your bare feet tomorrow.

DIY FRIENDLY

PRETTY IS DOING IT YOURSELF

Floorigami may be new, but its DNA is from the carpet leader, Shaw Floors. So fear not. We focused just as much on keeping installation simple as we did on delivering the ultimate durability and softness.

YOUR STYLE.

YOUR STYLE OUR SIMPLICITY.

We changed the way carpet is installed, but we didn’t compromise style. So mix and match colors and experiment with patterns to your heart’s delight. It’s so easy to bring your vision to life with Floorigami.

BEYOND FLEXIBLE

IT'S PERMANENT. UNTIL YOU DECIDE IT ISN'T.

A peel-and-stick adhesive secures Floorigami in place, without harming the floors beneath it. And you can create a new look any time you like, just by rearranging the pattern or direction of your tiles.

LIFE READY

TRADE FRUSTRATION FOR FLEXIBILITY

You’ve never seen carpet this kid and pet-friendly. Floorigami is so easy to clean. Just remove, rinse in the sink and replace. And if you’re just over dealing with it, simply replace a ruined tile with a new one. Peel, stick, done.
