The first line of defence against grubby street shoes entering your pristine haven, a doormat is the ultimate social leveller.
Put one down and all are obliged, from the parcel courier to your in-laws, to wipe their feet against the strong, dirt-ridding bristles.
We’ll give it to you straight: when it comes to doormats, we don’t have a whole load to say. They perform one function, and perform it extremely well. A master of the job, you might say.
The key thing to remember is that puns go a long way and choosing a design that matches your interior scheme is something to consider for houseproud types.
No need to decide between one that makes you smile, or one that’s aesthetically pleasing: we’ve done the legwork and brought the most stylish options to your door.
Open sesame!
