Guest Picks: Roll Out the Welcome Mat

The entryway is the first impression that guests get of your home. And just the right doormat can set that tone, whether it’s fun or formal. In this ideabook I’ve gathered doormats that run the gamut of personalities, all of which are perfect for saying, “Welcome to our home!” — Laurel from Ducks in a Row

Monogrammed Coco Border Door Mat - A, 18" x 30" - $29I like the classic look of this, and I'm always a sucker for a monogram!


Vineyard Monogrammed Outdoor Welcome Doormat - $64This mat is slightly more formal. If that's the tone you would like in your entry, then this monogram is perfect.


Personalized Picture Frame Coir Doormat, Black - $89.95About once a month, a friend stops by my house and admits to knocking on the neighbor’s door first. Maybe having my name plastered on the mat would help people know they are at the right house.


Custom Doormat by Posh Purveyor - $37I think this is sweet, both for newlyweds and for couples who have been together for 15 years (like my husband and me).


Stenciled Coir Doormat, Blue - $38This kind of makes me laugh. I guess entryways don’t only welcome company; they also tell people goodbye.


‘Nice Underpants’ Handmade Mat - $19If the last mat only kind of made me laugh, this one totally does! Sure, it’s a little immature, but it makes me chuckle every time I see it.


‘Good Day’ Coir Doormat - $29The sentiment on this one is classic. And the stripes give it a little personality.


‘Go In, Stay Out‘ Coir Doormat - $29Which is it going to be, go in or stay out? But don’t just stand there! I like that this looks very classic — up until you read it. Then it just makes you smile.


Catamaran Stripe Indoor-Outdoor Rug, Navy/Ivory - $41I love the stripes on this one — but then I am always a fan of stripes. The navy is classic and is great year-round.


Samode Indoor-Outdoor Rug, Coral/White - $43How about a bold, graphic print for your front door? This one is very summery to me.


Summer Stripe Doormat - $16.99I would probably have this out only during the summer, but I love thinking that these bright, cheery colors would welcome my guests.


Mohawk Home Chevron Coir Doormat - $14.99Bright colors and chevron — could this mat be any more welcoming? It would be a great statement at your front door.


Smith & Hawken Doormat, Solar Mint - $21.99I like that this mat is colorful and fun, but not obnoxious.


Blue Suzani Doormat - $34I love the colors on this mat! It would brighten your doorstep and welcome your neighbors.


‘Flip Your Flops Here’ Coco Mat - $71In most of the houses where I live, you take off your shoes when you enter. This is a fun and casual way to ask.


Welcome Doormat - $29This gets the message across in a really cute way. It’s classic and preppy.


Teak Doormat - $74.95This teak mat is sophisticated and classic — I'd love to have my whole home described like that.


Chilewich Shag Doormat, Citron - $50Add some color to your front step with this welcome mat.


Handwoven Heavy-Duty Coir Double Picture Frame Doormat - $48.99This doormat is bold. It has classic shapes and lines, but that orange border makes it stand out.


Fleur-de-Lys Rubber Doormat - $55These mats look like elaborate wrought iron, but they are rubber!
