Floor Cloths: Canvas art

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Floor cloths from from sophistocated Trompe L'oeil marble to folk art patterns make a durable and striking accent to old-house floors. Made with high quality artist paints and canvas, these floor cloths are hand painted while mounted on a wood frame that stretches the cloth. The front and back of each floor cloth are sealed and the edges are finished, to prevent buckling or fraying.

Each floor cloth is made to order and can be created with almost any pattern, design and color combination. Wallpaper or fabrics can be replicated or matched, too. Price is about $20 - $30 a square foot (depending on the intricacy of the design) and these floor cloths are available in round, square or rectangular shapes (April 2005).
