Step Up Your Curb Appeal: The Best Summer Doormats & Styling Ideas


Your front porch isn’t just a pass-through — it’s the first impression your home makes. And in the summer, it deserves just as much style attention as your living room. One of the easiest ways to give it a refresh? A seasonal doormat.

Designers are treating entryways like mini outdoor rooms this year: layered, colorful, and full of personality. From bold fruit prints to classic stripes, your doormat can say a lot (literally and figuratively). Here’s how to get the look — and make your porch feel like summer, starting from the ground up.

1. Layer It Up: Outdoor Rugs + Doormats

Layering a small outdoor rug under your doormat is a simple trick that adds polish and makes your entry feel styled — not just functional. Look for a flatwoven rug that’s weather-resistant, then top it with a statement mat.

Try This Pairing:

  • Base Layer: Neutral jute-look or black-and-white patterned outdoor rug (2'x3' or 3'x5')
  • Top Layer: Bold coir or synthetic mat with color or text

Style Tip: Choose contrasting patterns — like stripes and florals — or keep it tonal for a more modern vibe. Read more...
