Ever thought of buying a personalized door mat? It is a rarely thought of touch in home decoration, but goes far to add warmth, character, and positive attitudes around your house–even before anyone comes inside! Personalized door mats can bring smiles to strangers’ faces, even bigger smiles to already friendly visitors’ faces, or even to that tired family’s face after a long day at work. Mats personalized with a logo or company name relay a royal class. A door mat with a humorous message can change a mood. With a little bit of consideration towards a personalized outdoor mat, you will alter the entire aura of your home or business from the moment anyone steps to your door.

Let your imagination explore all the possibilities. You can get colorful mats with fun prints and cute phrases, or something classy like a French bronze mat personalized with family initials. For a business or institution, a personalized mat adds an impressive touch to that already impressive building. Even mats in front of individual office doors or conference rooms should enter your mind. Hand woven natural fabrics, carpeting, felt, straw mats, aluminum, pewter… from anything and made into anything. Mats can be cut to your favorite shapes, as well. The classic shape is rectangular, of course. But there are dome shaped mats, square mats, flower shaped mats; you’re not limited.

Doormats don’t have to be expensive. They’re made from inexpensive materials, are small, generally washable and easily replaceable. You can find personalized mats ranging anywhere from the dirt cheap twenty dollars to the highest ends on the market, French bronze, pewter, or the Duracoir mat. Duracoir, you ask? A personalized mat from this no shed, no fade synthetic material costs around $100. The difference of cost will often depend on how much personalization you’d like. The more decorative, the more expensive. Many companies charge per letter, so shorter names or messages will be less expensive.

Perhaps the most important thing to consider when buying a front door mat is the durability it guarantees and care it requires. A simple carpet or fabric mat may be machine washable, but may fade and stain with time. A rubber mat washes with a strong hose down, usually won’t fade, but can tear or suffer other damage over time. Metal is very durable and polishes beautifully… but require polishing. Duracoir is the durable mat that won’t fade, shed, or stain. You’ll pay for the quality.
