Choose mats of natural materials that incorporate shapes and colours to create a wonderful patchwork rug. And don't stop there... you can embellish with trim and embroidery to add your own personal touch.

Sew the mats together using matching embroidery thread. Four or five stitches will be more than enough to attach the mats together. Continue adding mats until you have created the perfect mat for your space.
