The best doormats are often referred to as art for your floor, boasting the transformative ability to elevate and refine the appearance of any entryway they adorn. Thankfully, the surge in online furniture stores over recent years has broadened the scope of doormat options beyond the conventional brown variety, offering an array of aesthetically pleasing designs ranging from textured styles that deliver warmth and cosiness to vibrant botanical prints that will instantly pep up an entryway.
While picking out the perfect doormat for your home might seem like an incredibly straightforward task, and perhaps not the most exciting one either, it’s the first thing guests encounter upon entering, so it pays to get it right in order to leave a positive first impression and set a warm, inviting tone for your space. Whether you own your home or rent it, doormats are the easiest little upgrade you can make to transform your abode – and they’re relatively cheap, at that.

As tempting as it may be to add a two-meter doormat to your basket, it’s best to get your measuring tape at the ready and do some numbers. It's important to choose a size that adequately covers the area where people will be wiping their feet upon entering, ensuring that it is large enough to effectively trap dirt and moisture. Interior designers advise that a doormat should be roughly 80% of the width of your door to provide proper surface coverage and be visually attractive. A standard door is 3-feet wide, so the mat should be at least 29 inches in that case.
Having scoured our fave online furniture stores, including the likes of Anthropologie, John Lewis and Graham and Green, we’ve curated an edit of the best doormats to dress your hallway with. If you’re on a budget, consider John Lewis’ Welcome Door Mat. Super contemporary and inviting - it literally says ‘Welcome’ - yet very purse-friendly, the coir and PVC crafted style is just screaming to be snapped up. If you’re looking for something that will put a smile on your face every time you enter your home, look to the brand's Scion Spike Door Mat. Crafted from natural coir, the cutesy hedgehogs add a little sunshine to everyone’s day - plus the mud tackling abilities of the textured brittles are practically unrivalled. Elsewhere, Graham and Green’s Natural Seagrass Leaf Doormat is the perfect finishing touch - or starting touch, to be honest - to your home’s interior decor.
