I voted 'naff' not specifically because it's a Union Jack but because I hate the twee mats people generally use. A plain coir mat without any witticisms or touchy feely nonsense or flags for that matter is quite sufficient.

I think you have to be a little careful with union jack cushions and other soft furnishings. You see loads of boat ads where they are strewn on board. Personally, I'm not a fan (actually I'd rather have an EU flag these days)!

As for mats with a boaty theme, I quite like the "Signal" "Turtle Mats" - https://www.turtlemat.co.uk/boat-mats/.

So would I!

I have scatter cushions - husband hates them but we compromised and I did half the amount I wanted to do. A few nice throws and lovely quilted bed covers and we have a comfortable and colourful interior.
 
I'd like to have voted both.

We've cushions in bright yellow with a smile and sunglasses which is definitely naff but I think nice for the boat. We've had a UJ doormat at home but in those muted grey colours, and for a year I had a credit card which was a UJ.

I also have a UJ on the boat which I put on instead of the red ensign sometimes if I see a blue ensigned boat coming in.
 
I flew a red ensign last Trafalgar Day on my French registered Beneteau but only in the marina ... nobody noticed except my next door neighbour and I had to explain about Trafalgar! He didn't seem amused. As a rule the French aren't obsessed with flags and etiquette like the British. Down here we see more Catalan flags than French.

Yes, I got them, and they suit the boat, except, I need to buy two more....I sort of didn't pay enough attention to what I was doing and bought coir mats, the're dropping bits everywhere and rough as a badgers arse! I need some nice soft carpetty ones.

Oh no, that wont do. Get a new softer pair, then when you sell the boat you can do a swap and let the new owners have the rough ones.
