Bronze like vintage door mat

While it’s available in a more obvious black or copper black finish, this 48” iron door mat really stands out thanks to its quirkier bronze design.

Designer Advice:

The combination bronze color and the heavily ornate shapes will allow you to make a bold decorative statement right from your front door. You should also consider this model if your house exterior already includes some decor or accents in the same finish: you’ll create a tasteful and cohesive outdoor area.

Long door mat

Long door mat

Measuring 48” in length, this door mat is one of the largest ones you can find, and it’s reassuringly versatile with its black finish.

Designer Advice:

Don’t forget that, to ensure a balanced result, the mat should be around 80% of your door’s width. Therefore, this model is mainly recommended for large double doors.

Cast Iron Door Mats

Buying Guide

Yes, wrought iron doormats can withstand all kinds of weather if they are built for outdoor use. With an all-weather and waterproof design, your attractive doormat won’t corrode even if it’s left outside in the rain.

Clean a wrought iron doormat with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. For detailed areas, use a toothbrush or a similarly small brush to get inside all the curved areas.

Dishwashing soap is ideal for removing grime from the doormat, but mild household cleaners are also appropriate if they are labeled as safe for use on iron. You can also use a half-cup of white vinegar in 2 liters of water.

Make sure to rinse the entire doormat thoroughly and allow it to dry before setting it back down on the porch. Towel-drying the iron helps, especially if it is humid outside and the water isn’t evaporating quickly.

Technically, yes, you can use your wrought-iron doormat inside; however, we’d recommend reserving its use for outdoors. If you want to use it inside, you’re going to need to make sure you purchase a second mat and place it underneath your wrought iron one to protect your floors from scratching.

Ultimately, many of the benefits of wrought iron doormats (such as their innate water resistance) are best used outdoors. However, if it would fit your aesthetic—perhaps an industrial one—to use the doormat inside, just make sure you’re taking precautions to keep your home safe.
