Home, Sweet Home

There’s no place like home, right? If you find yourself daydreaming about that first step into your house after a long day, you need something to make it special, like a personalized doormat! It’s like a hello from you to you, and visitors will get a sense of what type of household you run when they stop by. Here are some of our favorite wholesome, funny, and sweet picks.

Angled Welcome

It’s the same warm message, but a little turned on its side. This asymmetrical welcome mat is a great pick for homes that tend to get a little chaotic with the lively hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.

BUY IT: Wayfair, $25.82

Slinky Dog Welcome

We all know someone who will forever be a kid at heart, and they can bring that spirit to their front door with this mat featuring Slinky Dog from "Toy Story."

BUY IT: Ruggable, $179.00

Pineapple Greetings

Pineapples became a symbol of hospitality due to the difficulty of importing them during early America. Now, it’s easy to pick up the fruit from a local grocery store, but you can still convey the message with this welcome mat.

BUY IT: Ruggable, $149.00

Hey, Honey

Guests will "bee" delighted to see this sweet hello when they arrive at your house, which is probably known to be the cozy spot.

BUY IT: Etsy, $23.00+

People + Pets

Fur babies are family, too! Introduce visitors to the full household with this customizable mat featuring footprints, pawprints, and names.

BUY IT: Etsy, $37.00+

Stay Awhile, But Not Too Long

Here’s to keeping it real. Let visitors know upfront that your social battery is short, and even though you're happy they stopped by, you secretly can’t wait for them to leave.

BUY IT: Etsy, $32.00+

Yay! You're Here!

On the other hand, if you’ve waited a long time for a special guest to visit, make your excitement apparent with this enthusiastic mat that will surely make them feel welcome.

BUY IT: Etsy, $25.00+

Hope You Like Kids

Kids will be kids, and they can be a lot. With them, your home will be subjected to yelling, arguments, mess, and of course, a lot of fun and laughter. Take it, or leave it at the door.

BUY IT: Amazon, $25.95

3 Little Words

Granted, this is more of an unwelcome mat, but sometimes we just want to be alone and unbothered, and this mat says it all using some very familiar phrasing.

BUY IT: Amazon, $25.95

Salutations

We all know about the time difference between "I’m heading out now" and when you actually leave. Have your final good-byes at the door while people spend that in-between time wrapping up conversations and grabbing their things.

BUY IT: Amazon, $23.95

Mid Century Modern Mat

Here’s a conversation starter for the sophisticated homeowner. Ask guests what their interpretation of the mat’s print is, and does it count as art or is it simply functional?
