Description
This coir doormat brings a cheerful sweep of wild flowers to your doorway, with the words Wild Flowers lettered in dark green along the top edge. Red poppies, pink foxgloves and blue cornflowers stand among sprigs of orange, coral, plum and lilac blooms, each on deep green stems and leaves, all set against the warm natural shade of the coconut fibre. It measures 73cm long and 43cm wide and sits 1.5cm deep, a practical size for wiping boots and shoes on the way in.
We think it is happiest in a sheltered spot. Lay it just inside the front or back door, in a hallway or boot room, or on a covered doorstep where rain cannot soak it for long and strong sun cannot fade the colours. The flower design suits cottage-style homes, period hallways with tiled floors and any entrance that could do with a bright welcome. Its 1.5cm depth is worth checking against the gap under an inward-opening door before you lay it down. The natural coir surface has a firm, bristly feel that scrapes mud and grit from shoes, so less of the garden follows you into the house.
The surface is 100% coir, natural coconut fibre, on a PVC backing, making the mat 42% coir and 58% PVC overall, and it weighs a solid 1.96KG. Being natural fibre, it may shed a little in its first few months; a brush or a good shake now and then keeps it looking its best. To keep the colours bright for longer, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from anywhere it would stay wet. Set it in front of a painted door with a pot of herbs or lavender beside the step for a garden welcome all year round.

Can I use it outside my front door?
It is best in a sheltered spot such as a covered doorstep or just inside the door. Strong direct sunlight, or anywhere it would stay wet, will fade the colours and design over time.
