Designed for the Australian Classroom

• The non trip edges, non-slip backing, and weight of this mat make is the perfect classroom solution.  All our mats are the highest quality available on the market and will last for years and years, wash after wash.

Easy to Clean and practical

• Like all our mats this collection is super easy to clean with just soapy water and a hose.
• The short cut and tightly woven weave of the yarn actually repels dirt rather than trapping it like other mats.
• Once cleaned all you need to do is hang mat to dry in the shade and it will look like new.

Warranty

• We stand behind the commercial quality of our mats and know they are fit for purpose.  We offer a 3-year warranty against normal wear and tear in the classroom.  

Sustainable Recycled

• All our class mats are made from 100% recycled ghost fishing nets.
• As part of a global initiative Bloom Classroom has contributed to the removal of 640 000 tonnes of these discarded nets – saving thousands of marine animals.
• The base of our mats are made of 20% recycled car tyres and 14% recycled post-consumer plastic bottles.
• We are excited to present beautiful commercial grade classroom mats that are sustainable and fit for purpose in Australian classrooms and schools.

We acknowledge and respect our first nations people and their incredible contribution to the arts. A strong Indigenous representation both in language and art has been very important to us at Bloom Classroom. We feel that the beauty and depth of history that can be communicated with Indigenous art is a gift we are lucky to have shared with us. We want to present beautiful art with meaning that can promote positive conversations and initiate further education and understanding and create completely inclusive environments.

We encourage schools to consider incorporating language, art, and acknowledgment to the school’s traditional landowners in our school welcome and logo mat designs and now we are thrilled to have a collection of art from two local Indigenous artists. We look forward to this collaboration and collection continuing to grow over time as we add new designs

Exclusive Indigenous range by Bloom Classroom

This beautiful classroom rug is part of a collaboration with Bloom Classroom and Danielle Mate. Danielle is a very talented Sydney based artist and descendant of the Murrawari people through her mother’s maternal side, and Euahlayi people through her mother’s paternal grandmother. Danielle has created a name for herself within the art world. Not afraid of large-scale works, her murals that can be viewed all over Sydney, and now her beautiful pieces have again been brought to life on a large scale in the form of Bloom Classroom rugs.

"Traditionally my people used symbols to tell story through art. These symbols are a great start to understanding the meanings in artwork stories. Some symbols have multiple meanings and can be interpreted different ways." Danielle Mate.

A beautiful piece of Indigenous art to admire and a conversation starter for school students and teachers alike in the classroom, library, or important meeting space at school. A stunning physical acknowledgment to our First Nations People and their culture as part of the everyday environment of the classroom.  A classroom rug that will warm any space.
