And now, as they say, for something completely different. But it’s rather a good idea and one you might find useful. And pretty, so we’re ticking that William Morris box already. Winning at Wednesdays. Hashtag and all that.

Now, listen carefully; here comes the science bit. These mats are made from vinyl – hold on, hold on – you can already see that they’re not your Granny’s kitchen vinyl. Nor am I suggesting them for the sitting room. You leave it in the sun for half an hour or so (and I know that that is currently easier said than done) and when it has softened you just spread it on the floor where you want it and, as soon as it cools down, it will cling, limpet-like, to the floor and flatten out completely.

Then it won’t wrinkle, which means you won’t trip over it. And it’s completely washable. So, this would be good in a kitchen if you wanted the colour and pattern that a rug would provide but feel that it isn’t a practical choice. It would also work as a runner in a hall or on a landing – all those places where small kids traditionally rush about, but might slip on a rug. While we’re on the subject, this would work well in their bedrooms as it’s washable and wipe clean. For those of you who have, or want, floorboards in bedrooms and worry about cleaning rugs, this may be the answer.
Pick out any of those blues for the walls – Farrow and Ball pale powder springs to mind for a pale shade.
Prices start at £75 from Graham and Green. And, as you can see there are a few choices of colours. It’s a clever thing isn’t it. And, of course, you can totally put them outside in the summer (hollow laughter) to jazz up your terrace/patio/deck/balcony/space.
While I was hunting for other colours I also found a Victorian tile mat version in both colours and monochrome, perfect for halls. The pictures are less good but you get the idea. These are from Luma
