Best Door Mats

Hello Door Mat

Winston Porter

What we like: Charming design, thick material

What we don’t like: Coir material gets soggy when wet

Not so great for: Open entryways, houses near forests

Perfect for: Covered decks and porches, suburban and urban spaces

Say hello and welcome your visitors with this "Hello" door mat. Its texture keeps dirt and debris from getting in the house with its weather-resistant coir material. It features a bold "hello" in lowercase handwriting within a decorative wreath, and has a nonslip vinyl backing so it doesn't move around even when in use.

While the coir material can withstand weather, it is water-absorbent, making it soggy especially during rainy seasons. It also tends to collect dirt and leaves because of its texture. This piece is best used in houses that have a wide roof overhang that covers the patio door as well as in more urban places.

Door Mat with Waffle Pattern

Winston Porter

What we like: Contemporary design, great material for removing shoe dirt

What we don’t like: Non-skid grip isn’t too strong

Not so great for: Outdoors

Perfect for: Indoor use only

When it comes to keeping your entryway free of dirt, mud, and water, this door mat is a must-have. Made from polypropylene with a raised waffle pattern, it effectively scrapes dirt, mud, and snow directly off your shoes. A black border gives it a classic look that works in any setting, while a rubber backing ensures stability.

Available in four sizes and four colors, these door mats can work in different types of entryways and thresholds. While it has a non-skid backing, it does have a tendency to slide on hardwood floors and smooth tiles. We recommend placing a non-slip mat underneath in case this happens. It also has a faint chemical smell due to its rubber material. Best to air before using it.

Monogrammed Door Mat

What we like: Personalized, bespoke appeal

What we don’t like: Monogrammed and border parts will bleed and fade when constantly wet

Not so great for: Outdoors

Perfect for: Modern and contemporary interiors

Personalize your front door with your initials with this farmhouse doormat. It comes in natural coir, a durable material made from coconut husks that is weather-resistant and great for keeping dirt outside where it belongs. It features a bold, black border that attractively frames the monogrammed letter in the center.

Available in three sizes, this is a great housewarming gift for your family and friends. Word of advice: the dye material has the tendency to bleed and stain your flooring if it’s constantly wet. It’s also not fade-resistant especially when exposed to sunlight. For these reasons, this door mat will look and function best in indoor spaces. 

Door Mat with Scroll Motifs

Fleur De Lis Living

What we like: Interesting, intricate scrollwork design

What we don’t like: Small dimensions

Not so great for: Large, double door entryways

Perfect for: Small entryways, in front of the patio staircase, back door entrance

Featuring a beautiful scrollwork design, this doormat makes the perfect addition to your home. Its wrought iron-inspired pattern adds timeless sophistication while its black finish gives it understated elegance and versatility. Made from rubber with a non-slip backing and convenient drainage holes, this durable rug is perfect for placing in front of your entryway, porch, garage, or any other mudroom entrance.

Available in rectangle and half-round shapes, these doormats only come in one size, which is quite small for large entryways. It also has a nice weight on it, which prevents the sides from constantly curling. If you want to elevate it further, we recommend placing a solid-colored mat underneath to lend more visual heft.

Two Piece Door Mat Set

Sierra Concepts

What we like: Low price point, two mats per set

What we don’t like: Slick rubber backing

Not so great for: Elegant entryways, wet areas

Perfect for: Kitchen decks, back door, mudroom, garage,

Coordinate your utility doors in the kitchen, garage, and mudroom with these heavy-duty door mats. Made from high-quality polyester and recycled PVC, the beautiful ribbed design is elegant, sophisticated, and stylish. Available in black and steel gray colors.

While most like the rubber backing, some users have indicated that it doesn’t have as much grip, making it prone to slipping on smooth floors. The waterproof material also tends to track moisture and water, which makes it less ideal for outdoor and in places exposed to water.
