If the dull and dreary January days have got you down, cheer up your cold feet with a new, fun doormat just inside your door. Heymat has industrial roots, which means their mats will withstand all sorts of boot stomping and mud catching so that slush doesn’t get too far indoors.

If you’re going to add a little nautical flair to your surroundings, please, please, please make it one of these rope mats by Sophie Aschauer. Reclaimed sailing ropes are woven with four different knots- referred to as “Bonny”, “Drake”, “Morgan” and “Killigrew” (pirates from the 17th century, by the way)- into doormats or smaller sized area rugs. Remember that the rope is reclaimed, so they’ll show a little bit of wear, but that’s a small price to pay for such color and texture.

You might see simple, graphic squares adorning these woven mats, but these images are stylized patterns of backyards and swimming pools as seen from above. Made of abaca, an odor and moisture resistant natural plant fiber, and designed by Icelandic-born designer Hlynur Atlason, the Above Home Floor Mat gives you a place to wipe your feet along with a little rectangle of conceptual outdoor space.

If details matter to you, maybe you’d like a better doormat. This one, made from coir (natural coconut fiber), is pretty cool in a minimal-sleek-undercover way. The 3D illusion makes a statement, or at least more so than a regular doormat. It would go well with this door, though it might look tiny in comparison, or this house (or, even better, this K House).

There are worse things to aspire to than to be true and brave, so if you’re short of new year’s resolutions, this door mat will remind you each and every day to be your best self. ‘Lead by example’ can be your new mantra for 2014.

There’s nothing like a ‘Howdy‘ or a ‘Sup‘ to casually welcome visitors into your home, and this doormat does that before you even open the door. Just like Reed Wilson’s other doormats (several of which we’ve featured before), these two are made of coir and vinyl with flocked lettering.

Update: Remember this guy? It was no longer available from the original shop we linked to, but Sprout Home has it. (Hooray!)

Simple doormats do the job, but a doormat in the shape a cloud might just be a tiny bit better. It’s like watching kittens playing- really not necessary but somehow worthwhile. Anyone who’s ever visited YouTube knows as much. And, yes, that was a link to a kitten video. Made of natural coir.

Sure, there’s the Hola and The Neighbors Have Better Stuff doormat, but if you believe (and are running after) the ‘merican dream, then this is the one for you. Made of natural coco fiber, vinyl, and enamel. Also, the “Better Bag” Canvas Tote is worth taking a look at, especially considering all the effort that goes into selecting the right tote nowadays.

Give this to your favorite Republican and be prepared for an awkward thanks. Or just buy it as a friendly welcome mat for all your guests; either way, it’ll clean shoes regardless of political affiliation.

Politics: it’s not the safest topic to discuss amongst friends and family, but if you want to subtly state your preference during this campaign season (and then have visitors wipe their feet on your preference) one of these doormats is for you. Choose between WELCOME* Unless you’re a Republican and WELCOME* Unless you’re a Democrat. However, if you choose to purchase either, do be aware that you run the risk of sparking conversations that you’d rather not have with your guests, or close friends and family, for that matter.

This natural coir doormat will be a perfect place to clean off muddy or sandy shoes. Now, whether or not it actually deters or redirects burglars from your own front door, that’s a risk you’d best mitigate with other methods (alarm system, booby traps, etc.).

Do you find doormats depressing? Fancy some facets? This 100% natural coir doormat will cheer you up straight away; it’s made with environmentally sensitive dyes and is fade resistant. And, if you’re looking for similarly angular planters to complement your new doormat, perhaps you should consider the Element or Geo planters.

But you are, Sir, and a very good one at that. Designed and made in England by Rebecca Chitty, this 100% Coir mat has a fitting proclamation with pleasing-to-the-eye big block letters.

Say ‘welcome!’ to your visitors whilst professing your fondness for computers. And don’t even pretend to not like this doormat, because it’s pretty cute (not in a fuzzy kitten way, mind you, more like just plain awesome). It’s made from coir, a natural and renewable fiber which happens to trap dirt quite well, and you simply shake it clean.

I’ve caught the holiday bug, obviously, as snowflakes and reindeers seem entirely appropriate purchases. This coir* rug is on sale from $29, and if you’re wanting to spruce up your entryway with a little modern holiday something, this is the way to do it.
