A doormat is your best friend, all year round. Dirt and moisture don’t stand a chance. Your doormat saves you time, so you can focus on the things you enjoy. But there’s still an important question: should you place your doormat indoors, outdoors… or both? We’re here to answer that pressing question for you.
The short answer: You’ll benefit most from having both an indoor and an outdoor doormat. Why? Because they complement each other perfectly. In this case, two is definitely better than one. In short, having a doormat inside and outside gives you a winning combination.
Outdoor doormat
An outdoor mat is often a bit tougher in appearance, with coarse fibers or bristly textures. It’s designed for heavy-duty tasks, like scraping dirt off your shoes.
Outdoor mats are low-maintenance. Sand, mud, twigs, and leaves left on the mat can be easily rinsed off with water. These mats are built to withstand the elements, whether it’s wind, rain, or even strong sunlight. A true workhorse—the outdoor mat.

Indoor doormat
An indoor doormat requires a bit more care and attention than an outdoor mat. Indoor mats typically have softer fibers and a more refined appearance. Where the outdoor mat does the heavy lifting, the indoor mat takes over by drying your shoe soles to prevent wet footprints on your floors.
An indoor mat can be an absorber mat, known for its excellent moisture-absorbing capabilities. It can also be a dirt trapper mat, perfect for scraping dirt off your soles.
To keep your indoor doormat looking great, vacuum it regularly. Stains and spots can be cleaned with soapy water, and some doormats can even be machine washed. If you choose to machine wash, remember to skip the fabric softener, as it reduces the mat’s moisture-absorbing abilities.
Together, they’re the perfect team
As mentioned above, placing both an outdoor and an indoor doormat allows you to enjoy clean and dry soles. At our store, you can have your doormats custom-made to fit perfectly with your entryway, even if they’re to be placed in a recess.
A recessed doormat is a popular choice for many homes, and with a custom-fit mat, you ensure a seamless finish. Additionally, an outdoor mat protects your indoor mat by taking on the heavy-duty tasks, keeping the indoor mat looking great for longer. Together, they create a true win-win situation!
