There is no reason why choosing your carpets should not be fun and with the funky and entertaining FunontheFloor.com site you can have a really inspiring time browsing through all sorts of great carpet ideas that will help fire your home decorating imagination.

The website (www.funonthefloor.com) has a really cool range of features that help to highlight the many and varied ways to make the most of carpet in your home - not only in conventional or traditional ways but also in really innovative ways too.

Just one example of this can be seen with the "Lookbook" feature. Here you can build a picture of how your home can be transformed by the use of beautiful carpets. It is possible to create and then print out your room design ideas or even email them to a friend. Very handy indeed!

One of the big ideas that makes this site so exciting is the video tour of the Georgian townhouse in London where Fun on the Floor were using it to showcase the latest carpet trends. The entire house was transformed by Danielle Proud, the celebrity interior designer and her ideas really highlighted the interior design possibilities that carpet has to offer.

Another invaluable aid for anyone planning the purchase of carpets to brighten up a home is the "Carpet Calculator". You can enter the dimensions of a room and your budget to get an idea of the cost per square metre of carpet that you should be looking for. Not sure where to go to buy a new carpet?

Previous questions and the responses from the experts can be browsed through too. It adds a very nice interactive touch to the site.
