Non-Slip Dirt-Trapping Door Mat

Most of the dirt that ends up on a floor walks in through the front door. This dirt-trapping entry mat is built to stop it there, with a textured polypropylene surface that scrapes grit from the soles of shoes and holds onto dust and damp rather than passing it along into the hall.

The look is quiet Scandinavian: a plain, low-profile mat in green, grey, khaki or blue that reads as a deliberate part of the entrance rather than an apology for one. A non-slip rubber base keeps it flat and stable underfoot on tile, laminate or stone, which matters most on a wet autumn morning when everyone is arriving at once. Two sizes are offered, 45 by 75 cm for a standard door and 60 by 90 cm for a wider or double entrance.

Polypropylene handles rain, mud and sun without breaking down, so it can live outside the door as easily as inside it. It dries quickly, and cleaning is a matter of shaking it out or running a vacuum over it. Practical in a porch, a hallway, a laundry room or by a patio door.
