🌞 Geranium Basket 🌞

A common question I often hear is, "What do you do with a wool mat?" The most popular use is as a doily on an entry table or side table. However, there are many creative ways to incorporate a wool mat into your home decor. I love to place them on decorative shelves, letting them hang slightly off the edge, or, as shown in this photo, inside a bowl or basket with the edges draping over. This adds a charming touch to any space. You could also hang them over the edge of a tiered decorative tray stand. If you like a design, there are endless possibilities for using a wool mat to enhance your decor!
