Description
This coir doormat greets everyone at the door with a row of four potted plants and the word WELCOME spelled out in soft pink capitals across a deep dark blue ground. On the left, a cactus with bright red flowers sits in a burgundy pot patterned with diamonds. Beside it, a leafy plant fills a pink pot with a wavy stripe, then a tall upright stem rises from an orange planter, and a spreading cactus with pale pink buds settles into a wide peachy bowl. It measures 73cm long and 43cm wide and stands 1.5cm deep, a good size for a single doorway.
We think it suits a front door, a back door or the step into a garden room, anywhere shoes need a quick wipe before they come inside. The green, pink and orange plants bring a cheerful garden feel to the doorstep all year round, and the dark blue ground is forgiving of everyday mud and dust. For the colours and design to last, place it out of direct sunlight and somewhere it will not stay wet for long, such as a covered porch or just inside the door.
The surface is natural coconut fibre, known as coir, on a black PVC backing. Overall it is 58% PVC and 42% coir fibre, and at 1.96KG it has a good, solid weight. Because it is natural coir, it may shed in the first few months of use, so give it a brush or a shake now and then during that time to keep it looking its best. After that, a regular shake outdoors and a sweep with a stiff brush lifts loose dirt from the fibres. Lay it with the lettering facing the way visitors arrive, and set a potted plant or two beside the door to echo the design.
