Top 5 Doormat Ideas for your Home

Doormats are adorable if we use them right. Most of us shun the idea of having a doormat.  Doormat is more than a piece of material that carries a Welcome message in front of your house. In case if you ask us, we would say, the doormat is more than material, it is an antique. So make your own DIY doormats and fill your house with a lot of beauty. Here are some the ideas that you would love to know to make your own doormats.

Wooden Planks:

Get some durable wooden planks and make a wooden frame that matches the size of your door. Then cut wood planks in different sizes to fit them into the wooden frame diagonally. In case if you like to keep your mats in the wooden type but a little differently, then collect wooden planks of the same size and place the planks on the floor as you would want them to be and make a whole to connect the planks using a twine. So unlike the earlier one you are making a flexible one here.

Reshape them:                           

Buy the usual mats that are available in the market close by and then you can reshape them the way you want them to be. All you will need are cutters and glue. Cutters to reshape them and glue if you want to attach different pieces. Once you cut the mat, the edges might go rough. So file the edges and make it look and feel soft under your feet.

Cope the rope:

All you need are rope and glue. If you have a long one considerably, coil the rope into one whole circular platform that fits the area you want to hold them. If you want to make it a bit more exciting as a circular coil can look mundane, then cut the rope into different sizes and coil them separately. Now connect the separated ones using a glue. You can also use coloured ropes to make it look more attractive than before.

Colour the mat:

Get a mat in the shape and size that you prefer. Since we are going to paint them, it is preferable if you go for the ones that are light in colour. Get three or four different colours as you please and get a painter’s tape. Tape the boundaries where you will change colours and start painting. Once you are done, remove it and get a multicolour doormat.

Mat with a message:

But a mat of your choice. Find the message that would like to have on your mat, and print it on a sheet. Stick this to a detachable sheet and cut it along the edges of the words. This will leave a vacuum space inside the font making it look like a stencil. Fill it with a colour and detach the paper from the mat and you will have the message of your choice on your doormat.
