Description
This coir doormat brings a whole flock of garden birds to your doorstep, set out across a soft turquoise blue ground. Look closely and you will find a robin with its red breast, a blue tit, a goldfinch, a woodpecker, a magpie and a pied wagtail, with smaller brown birds and tiny white flowers scattered between them. Each bird is picked out in cream, black, rust, yellow and bright blue, so the design reads clearly from the end of the hall. It measures 73cm long and 43cm wide, with room for a proper wipe of both feet, and stands 1.5cm deep.
Lay it at the front door, at the back door or just inside the hallway where muddy boots come in. The surface is made from coir, a natural coconut fibre with a firm, bristly feel that suits wiping shoes before they reach your floors. Because the colours last longest out of strong sun and away from standing water, a covered step or the inside of the door is the best spot for it. It sits happily in a cottage, a terrace or a flat, and the birds bring a little of the garden to the door all year round.
The surface is 100% coir on a black PVC backing, which makes up 58% of the mat overall against 42% coir fibre, and at 1.96KG it has a solid, reassuring weight underfoot. Like any natural coir, it may shed in its first few months; a brush or a good shake every so often keeps it looking its best. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from anywhere it would stay wet, as both will fade the colours over time. Pair it with a boot rack inside the door, or wrap it up as a gift that gets used every single day.
