With the grain
While I was waffling on about wood grain the other day I was remembering one of my favourite faux bois pieces; the Plynyl Woodgrain Floormats from Chilewich. These mats hit the floor late last year and are a cool modern take on the faux bois trend, add in the fact that the super durable woven vinyl surface is bonded to a comercial grade slip-proof backing and you've got something that'll survive a game of tag or a pitcher of grape juice.
The mats are available in 3 colours - dogwood, driftwood and pecan - and 4 sizes. Click here for the full list of Canadian retailers.
