First impressions matter. And a lot. Which is why if you want to impress your visitors in your home, a beautiful welcome mat should be there to greet them at your doorstep.
These kind of decoration objects don’t just beautify your home, they also serve to wipe the dust away from your shoes or slippers as you enter one’s house. That doesn’t mean though that you can just get any simple rug to become a welcome mat for your house; it needs to look good together with your front door and it should also invoke the feeling of “openness” and “being welcomed warmly” in your home.
But if there is something in life that can make us laugh, that can change our mood after a horrible day at work, that’s the sense of humor. It is essential to arrive at home with a smile on our face. Well, doormats can provoke that. If you don’t believe us, just have a look at these different designs:
FUNNY WELCOMES
There are doormats that, once you put your feet on them, are able to grab your attention because of their particular welcome. You will be hesitating between entering to the house or remaining still, not just because you won’t know if they are inviting you to come in, but also for the laughter that won’t let you take one more step. But some of them look quite nice, isn’t it?
But some of them like to remind you if you have forgotten something before leaving home.
DEMANDING DOORMATS
It is said that when people invite you to their home it is a nice gesture to bring some food or drink with you. But in case you forget that, doormats will be there to make you understand that you are not a polite person. Is that clear?
DOORMATS FOR DOGS
If dogs are the man’s best friend, they deserve their own doormats. Why? Because they love marking their territory, and your home is their territory too. It must be clear that when you are getting in someone else’s house, you are invading dog’s kingdom.
DOORMATS FOR GEEKS
But if there is a target public where doormats have found their perfect victim, these are geeks. Geek’s universe is so full of iconic symbols that the imagination of the designers can fly to many places. There are no limits. The results speak for themselves.
TALKING ABOUT CLEANLINESS
Doormats know better than anyone else what visitors will find inside the house, so they must tell you if you need to clean your shoes or not.
So, remember: not paying attention to your doormat’s design will be almost like ignoring the people who visit your house. They say a lot of things about the person who lives there.
