Totter + Tumble, the beloved playmat brand known for merging practicality with aesthetics, is expanding its collaboration with the iconic Morris & Co. with two enchanting new designs.

The limited edition release of Totter + Tumble mats introduces The Brook and The Owl & The Willow, mural-style playmats that channel the spirit of classic tapestry art. These aren't just floor coverings - they're storyscapes. Designed from historic patterns, each mat feels lifted from a fairytale.

Infused with narrative charm, these new playmats go beyond mere function. Underneath their detailed, digitally printed surfaces lies Totter + Tumble’s signature memory foam support - soft enough for baby’s first crawl, sturdy enough for toddler tumbles, and elegant enough to stay out all day in the heart of the home.

Kayleigh Flattery-Taft, Totter + Tumble’s designer, shared the spark behind the collection:
“Whilst looking through the William Morris archive, a beautiful sofa upholstered in an idyllic wilderness pattern of deer by a flowing stream caught our eye... A few months later, we came across a wallpaper panel of a magical scene with unicorns, lions, orange groves and weeping willows. With this, our next Morris & Co. collaboration was born.”

Totter + Tumble founder Susie Stubbs emphasised the innovation behind the artistry:
“As soon as we discovered the mural-like tapestries from Morris & Co., we worked hard innovating production to bring them to life with our no-compromise quality and style. These rug-like masterpieces are playtime perfection.”
