Checks with Simple Borders
![](https://canvasworksdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/Checks-with-Simple-Borders-G1-1.jpg)
The most basic floorcloth designs can be as simple as a solid color on the inside and a complimentary color in the border. This creates a bold statement in any space.The next level of complexity is a geometric pattern, like checks, on the inside with a solid border in the same color or a contrasting color. To add more interest, a stripe on the inside and on the outside of the border can be added (as shown above).
Any of these basic floorcloth designs can be artistically enhanced with Lisa Curry Mair’s beautiful handpainted effects such as marbling, sponging and dragging. Click here to see all of the color and texture choices that are available to you.
Pricing on these basic floorcloths starts at $30/square foot. Prices increase as options are added. There is a minimum size of 50 square feet. Typical sizes are 8′ X 10′ and 9′ X 12′. Lisa enjoys focusing her attention on large, artistic pieces. She does not create small, kitchen sink or entry doormat floorcloths. Call the studio for details and to have Lisa draw up a floorcloth layout in the size and colors you would like.
