Choosing a doormat

A doormat serves an important function in the home's entrance by collecting gravel and dirt before it spreads further into the residence. At Classic Collection, you will find handmade doormats in natural materials, with different weaving structures, patterns, and formats.

Which doormat is the best fit depends on the size of the entrance, how the door opens, and your requirements regarding function and appearance.

What shapes are doormats available in?

Classic Collection's doormats are available in rectangular and semi-circular designs. Rectangular doormats provide a generous surface area for collecting dirt and moisture and fit in most entrances. A semi-circular doormat can be an alternative in smaller hallways or where you want a softer shape. Remember to choose a mat with a sufficiently low profile so that the door can open without obstruction.

What colors are doormats available in?

Classic Collection's doormats are available in a wide color palette, from beige, natural tones, and gray to green, brown, and black. The assortment includes both solid-colored doormats and models with checkered, graphic, and multicolored patterns.

For a well-used entrance, a mottled or patterned doormat can be a practical choice, as dirt and minor marks are often less noticeable than on a completely light, solid-colored surface.

What size should you choose for the doormat?

The choice of size depends on the width of the entrance and how much space is available in front of the door. A 60 × 90 cm doormat fits many standard exterior doors and provides a practical surface for wiping shoes.

For wider entrances or hallways with more space, a larger 85 × 130 cm doormat can be a good option. It provides a more generous surface and contributes to a more cohesive impression in the hallway. Also, consider the door's opening direction and ensure the mat does not prevent the door from opening.

Why choose a wool doormat?

Wool is a naturally durable material that is well-suited for doormats in the home's entrance. The natural resilience of wool fibers allows the mat to retain its structure during daily use, while the dirt-repellent properties of wool make maintenance easier.

Doormat indoors or outdoors?

Classic Collection's doormats are primarily intended for indoor use, such as in the hallway or inside the front door. Here, they help collect dirt and gravel from shoes, while also becoming a natural part of the entrance's interior design.

For an outdoor entrance, where the mat is exposed to rain, snow, and moisture, a doormat specifically designed for outdoor use is recommended instead.

How do you wash a doormat?

To keep your doormat in good condition, regular vacuuming is recommended to remove gravel, dust, and other dirt. Wool doormats should be spot-cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth and a detergent suitable for wool. Avoid machine washing unless the product's specific care instructions state that the mat can withstand it.
