Description
This cheerful cherry doormat brings a bright welcome to the front door, with two plump red cherries hanging from deep blue stalks and a single leaf, set against a soft pink ground. The surface is coir, the natural fibre that comes from coconut husks, and it has the rough, bristly texture that brushes mud and grit from shoes as you step inside. Underneath sits a PVC backing. It measures 73cm long and 43cm wide, a good size for the front step, and stands 1.5cm deep, so it is worth checking the gap under an inward-opening door before you lay it.
We like it best at the front door, where it greets visitors before anyone has knocked, but it is just as happy inside the door, along a hallway or by the back door where muddy boots come in. The bold red fruit and sweet pink ground suit a home with a playful, colourful style, and they lift a plain step or a neutral hall straight away. For the longest life, pick a sheltered spot such as a covered porch or the floor just inside the door, away from strong sun and anywhere it would stay wet.
Being natural coconut fibre, coir may shed a little in the first few months of use, so give it a brush or a good shake now and then to keep it looking neat. Overall the mat is 58% PVC and 42% coir fibre, and at 1.96KG it is easy to lift and shake out over the step. Direct sunlight and long spells of wet will fade the colour and the cherry design, so keeping it dry and shaded protects it. Lay it square to the door with the leaf towards the top, and pair it with a pink or red planter by the step for a doorway that feels warm and welcoming.
