Welcome Mats Vs. Rugs: What’s the Difference?

Welcome rugs and mats are both floor coverings for entryways, but they're not the same. Rugs are generally larger, making them ideal for expansive foyers, mudrooms and spacious patios. Because they're smaller, door mats tend to work best when placed directly in front of a door outside or inside. Mats are also commonly used in other spots, such as in front of bathtubs or kitchen sinks, to collect water.  

Both door mats and rugs function as floor protectors, reducing the risk of hard flooring becoming scratched and dirty from shoes. However, indoor and outdoor doormat home accessories are often designed specifically for wiping feet, while rugs usually aren’t. Door mats are likely to have anti-slip backing to hold them in place and reduce the risk of slippage. A welcome or area rug might need you to apply anti-slip tape to keep it secure.

Comparing Door Mat Materials

Manufacturers produce door mats from a variety of materials, including:

• Rubber: Durable and slip-resistant, rubber door mats are sturdy enough to wipe mud and dirt off shoes.
• Latex foam: Also called an anti-fatigue mat, a latex foam mat provides cushioned comfort underfoot.
• Vinyl: Vinyl door mats are highly resistant to weather effects, so they are a good choice for entryways exposed to the elements.
• Polyester: A man-made fiber, polyester resists fading in the sun and gives door mats the look of textile filers.

After choosing the right material, compare sizes and colors to narrow down the options. Measure the area where your new mat or rug will go to ensure it fits well. To decide on color and pattern, keep in mind the other elements of your home decor, such as your wall art, or the hue and style of your home's facade and trim.
