Coir Door Mats

Looking into some coir door mats for your home?  First of all, in case you’re not sure what they are, coir door mats are usually created out of the fiber from the husk of coconuts and wound up to be used for things such as ropes and matting.

This matting when tastefully done can add an air of homeliness to your guests right before they enter into your home.  Now coir door mats can range quite a bit in price, you can get the cheap variety for as low as $15-30, then there are those personalized coir door mats which may cost upwards of $100-150.  Personalized door mats will allow you to put whatever writing you deem fit onto the mat to make yours stand out from the crowd.  Some people like to place their last name on the mat, while others like to add their own witty line to it.

When you are looking for these kinds of mats, keep in mind that they are often made out of a thick and sturdy material and that they will mostly catch the dirt on your shoes before it can get tracked into your home due to the rough texture of the matting.  Now one thing you’re going to have to look into before you pick one of these up are the dimensions of the mat, do you want one 30” long or maybe 40, 50 or 70”?  You need to decide on what will look best outside of your home.

One things for sure, coir door mats are not for every home.  While these mats may do a good job of keeping dirt from getting tracked into the house, sometimes they can clash with the exterior of the house and that is something you can’t easily change.  This is why it’s important to either have a good visual memory of the exterior of your house, or to bring a second set of eyes with you to help make sure you pick out a mat which will go with the motif of the house.

Other things you may eventually want to look into to spruce up your entrance are outdoor night lights to line the pathway to your door, this only adds to the coziness of it all by lighting your way in the dark.  A lot of people don’t just stop at a nice mat you see, they like to go for the whole look, this is something you may want to consider as well when you’re looking to make the exterior of your house appear more inviting to guests as well as yourself.

Now although there are many different types of mats for you to choose from out there, but you really can’t go wrong with tasteful coir door mats.
