I had a vision for the mats that I wanted for our city garden - colourful to liven up my little outdoor square and plastic so I could leave them out without worrying about the weather. I searched everywhere and had no luck finding something affordable and chic. I used to sell ones from The Koko Company when I owned a store in Boston so I went looking for them online, hoping to find a Canadian resource - nope. I did however find their consumer site Kokotrends.com. Here you can shop their selection of whimsical and bright bedding, pillows, quilts, throws, drapes, accessories and of course, floormats. I went for the classic in green but am also a fan of the optics duotone in teal and turquoise - it comes in 5×9 if you need extra large coverage. It arrived in just over a week and although I wasn’t charged duty and taxes upon purchase, there were no extra charges at the door. Shipping was a reasonable $25 - for something that is 4 feet long, that is a good price.

While you are there, check out their cotton embroidered kids pillows. Every season they come up with delightful new patterns that are so much fun they make you want to redecorate.
