Corn, Carpet and Making a Difference

What if we told you Vander Berg’s offers a carpet made out of corn?

Your first thoughts are probably “I don’t believe it!” and “That must be some pretty uncomfortable carpet.” 

However, you would be wrong in both instances. SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer is not only made up of 37% renewable resources, it is also the softest carpet on the market.

SmartStrand carpet is brought to you by Mohawk and Dupont and is just one of the products Mohawk is using to help preserve the environment. This carpet has a unique field to floor process. First, corn is planted and grown around the nation. Next, it is harvested and sent to Loudon, TN where it becomes a key ingredient in DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer. Finally, DuPont Sorona is spun into fiber which is then used to make SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona carpet. 

Using just seven yards of this carpet in your home saves the energy and resources equivalent to one gallon of gas. The total savings reach up to 10 million gallons in one year. 

Not only will this carpet lower your carbon footprint, it also features a lifetime stain resistance warranty, durability and softness. It really is the next generation of luxury carpets.  You can now enjoy a stylish and comfortable carpet while knowing you’ve played a role in sustaining our natural resources.

Design Tips Part II

Vander Berg Furniture & Flooring is here to help you inspire your design space with simple yet effective interior design tips from VB Furniture & Flooring. 

Your front door is the first thing your guests see when entering into your home. Many people use standard wreaths to place on their doors, but try switching it up a bit by decorating your initial and hanging it from a ribbon on the door. It’s great to see something new on a front door as it helps to make your home look up-to-date and very inviting. 

Another great way to add some detail without having to put in a lot of effort is by adding texture. Using twigs from your backyard or using grass cloth wall coverings, texture is in and is simple to use and set up!
