Sheebah's unique mansion floor is matched only by this denim floor trend

Karungi was announcing her new music record label in her living room when this editor managed to get a good look at her floor tile plan. Like the singer, her house is bustling with a personality from draping and creeping natural vegetation, green decor, and her car plate floor design. The floor is a mixture of tiles and car number plates.

Searching for the origins and other applications of this design doesn't reveal much. Apart from the fact that most people use old car plates for wall decor.

However, there's one unique floor design that matches the custom pick of Karungi's mansion floor and it is the Polytuft recycled jean floor design.

Denim jeans are durable, but even if the fabric starts to wear, other parts of the trousers still have the potential for long lives ahead including the labels. This Polytuft rug makes use of the leather labels from worn-out and discarded jeans, giving them a brand-new life and purpose.

Tonnes of patches are stitched together to make the composition of each carpet unique. The denim label rugs/carpets prices range from a whopping $550 to $750 depending on size.

The themes of this trend include recycling textile waste, upcycling leather and custom patchwork designs for home decor as we have already seen in fashion.

Karungi's floor design and the Polytuft floor decor are tied into the 2023 interior design trends which include "playful patterns, texture-rich materials along with a blend of handmade pieces and bespoke touches that lend warmth and character to a space" according to Scout and Nimble.
