‘Coco Door Mat Swirl’ indoor doormat, Hay
Available in a blue and a red colourway, this chunky woven coir mat by Hay is made from coconut fibres, making it durable enough to withstand everyday wear, while giving it a pleasingly sculptural quality. From £55, heals.com
‘Mix Teklan’ indoor doormat, Heymat
Swedish artist Tekla Evelina Severin is known for her strikingly beautiful colour palettes. This recycled plastic doormat is an easy way to inject a little of the Swedish artist’s aesthetic into your interiors. Norwegian designer Kristine Five Melvær created the pattern and Tekla drew inspiration from gemstone and Mediterranean architecture for the vibrant shades. Approx £150, heymat.com
‘Follow The Trace’ indoor doormat, Layered
The tracked pattern of this doormat from Layered is a subtle nod to the steps the brand is taking towards reducing its environmental footprint and working towards a more sustainable and transparent industry. We love that message as much as the combination of blue, pink and beige – just the thing for adding more colour to a hallway without overwhelming it. From £295, layeredinterior.com
‘Square All-Round’ indoor doormat, Mette Ditmer
Add a subtle touch of Scandinavian style to your hallway with this mat from Danish brand Mette Ditmer. A bold red accent stripe gives the graphic brown and off-white checkerboard pattern a contemporary edge. It’s made from nylon meaning you can throw it in the washing machine. From £63, metteditmer.com
‘Jute’ indoor doormat, Arket
Sometimes you just want to keep things simple and that’s where Arket’s timeless jute mat comes in. With a quiet black and natural woven pattern and cotton edging, it’s a classic design that will suit every type of interior. £29, arket.com
Indoor doormat by Off-White, Amara
You can rely on Off-White to bring a streetwear sensibility to the humble doormat. This utilitarian design can handle high-traffic areas, while the graphic industrial-style diagonal stripes add visual impact. £115, amara.com
‘Tin Fish’ outdoor doormat, Ruggable
Visitors can’t fail to smile when being greeted on arrival by the surreal sight of a sardine tin on the doorstop. Ruggable’s clever patented two-piece system means you can take the doormat cover off the rubber mat to wash it whenever you want. £139, ruggable.co.uk
‘Printed Coir’ outdoor doormat, H&M
For an instant and affordable spring update to your front step, this H&M coir mat is the ideal solution. We particularly love the abstract botanical print and the fresh green shade. £15, hm.com
‘Redono’ outdoor doormat, AYTM
‘Redono’ means ‘to reuse’, making it an apt name for this doormat, which is handwoven from 100% PET yarn, made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s tough enough to be used outside but feels soft underfoot. Approx £48, aytmdesign.com
‘Ciao’ outdoor doormat, Anthropologie
This cheerful Anthropologie design, made from 100% coir, does exactly what it says on the... mat, greeting visitors on arrival and seeing them off in style. £48, anthropologie.com
