Cool Stuff: Koko Indoor/Outdoor Floormats

Fun new floormats from Koko: I especially like the 6-by-4-foot Trees Floormats above, $52 each.

Made from woven plastic, the inexpensive mats can simply be shaken out or hosed off if they get dirty. They're a great way to brighten up the patio or deck, the kitchen or laundry room, a kid's room -- or even to roll up and take with you for a day at the beach or a picnic at the park.

Leaves Runners, 2.5 by 8 feet, $52 each

Classic Floormats, 5 by 9 feet, $76 each

I'm partial to the older designs, too:

Optics Floormats, 5 by 9 feet, $66 each (We have the blue one in our daughter's room.)

Birds Floormats, 4 by 6 feet, $46 each

Beachmats, 2.5 by 6.5 feet, $36 each

Check out all of Koko's vibrant and playful floormats at 2Modern -- or in even more colors at Koko's own webstore.
