2012: The coming year through mats.
Keep your home cleaner, brighter, and cheerier through the use of mats this year. Kick the year off with a classy mat that is personal to you and your family. I’d suggest going with a monogrammed doormat, these doormats come in a variety of different sizes so you can really make a statement with them.
But nobody is going to see your gorgeous monogrammed mat if your walkway is super snowy and people are leaving piles of snow on it, so why not get something to help you keep that snowy walkway clear, like a snow melting walkway mat for example. These things will last you for years and save you a bunch of back aches from the added shoveling of the walkway, giving you plenty of energy to continue shoveling the drive way (don’t worry I’m sure heated driveway mats will come along soon enough!).
Next stop: April Fools!
You know you love the funny doormats, and maybe you’re thinking they are better suited for someone else, well, why not try it out. Just this one day, see how it feels, and maybe it’ll become a permanent resident (like your annoying neighbor).
'I will not be a Doormat' doormat
Spring Has Sprung: Time to think about sprucing up the inside of your house, getting rid of the thick winter throws, and dark colors, lighten up your living room with Sisal Mats. The natural colors and soft weaves can really transform a room.
Summer: Change it up a bit with a fun doormat design, or maybe even try a larger overhaul and install a coco stairrunner! These make the biggest differences on places with dark hardwood or funky colored carpets, they can soften up the place, and they are super easy to install! (Check out my step by step guide.)
For Rainy Falls: Try implementing a Waterhog Mat at your front door and NEVER WORRY ABOUT MOPPING UP FROM RAIN AGAIN.
Halloween: We have a variety of spooky mats to help you get into the swing of things. They definitely add a nice touch to your seasonal decorations and they also make for a funny mat come Christmas time, because, why not?

What Does Your Doormat Say About You?
When guests come over one of the first things people notice is the doormat. This is a good way to flaunt your personality and give a good first impression. Is it old? Funny? Elegant? This is often something people rarely think about, but the fact that people don’t think about it can say a lot about someone’s personality. A comparison would be what your shoes or clothing say about you. These are all parts of our lives that say something about who we are, how we take care of our possessions and in-turn ourselves.
So what does your door mat say about you? Are you stylish, comical, or do you not pay attention to those details. It may be a lot of subliminal thinking but it all comes down to being a reflection of you. There’s a ton of different doormats out there and a majority of them can really make a statement about you. There’s some really sassy ones out there that you don’t see at a lot of people with these mats, but I bet you get a kick out of it when you do. There are also some really elegant door mats that can be up to 4 feet wide with a pretty monogram on them outlined with delicate borders.
Maybe it’s time to take care of these small details that show who we are. A great place to look for that next accessory to your home is a click away.

5 Elegant Christmas Doorways
1. Natural Elegance
Adorn your door with cedar pinecones and unique twigs to create a rustic looking door that will make your guests think they’ve transported to a little cabin in the woods (and it’ll smell great too!). The pinecones hanging from the door can easily be replaced by a simple wicker wreath.
Mats that match: Personalized Pinecone
2. Christmas Basics
This is actually very simple, but is taken to another level when placed on a barn style house. Two of the main factors in pulling off this look are symmetry and color proportions, note how they haven’t overdone it on any of the three colors they have used.
Mats that Match: Simple Ever Green Santa Sleigh Mat
3. Christmas Fruits?
Apple, Lemons and a Pineapple? This is a super unique way to decorate your door and will be sure to make your guests smile (and then tell their friends about the awesome door decorations they saw the other day).
Mats that Match: Red and Green Christmas Bells
4. Huge Elegance
The yellow decorations and the lights really create a rich look, the upward pointing decorations make you feel like you’re walking into a winter wonderland, although the overhang at this house is quite high the upward pointing lights make it look even higher and this effect would also work on a house with a much lower overhang.
Mats that Match: Classy Monogrammed Mat
5. All Lit Up
This is a super simple way to really impress passer-bys. All the designer has done here is just hung up white string lights vertically in an even distribution across the house.
Mats that Match: Retro Welcome Mat

Easy Tips for Decorating Your Home for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and all of your family is going to be there, you want your place to look good but you don’t want to spend lots of money or time on it. This little guide will aid you in quickly and easily making your place guest ready.
The House
It’s important that you stick to a color scheme once you set that then you can pretty much pick up any little trinkets as long as you stick to your color palette.
Colors to keep in mind: dark reds, burgundy, any color of orange, and yellows. Mix up a range of these colors, think fall leaves. You could even go outside and grab a reddish leave, an orangey one, and a yellow one. Dry them out then put them into a Ziploc bag, refer to these leaves whilst out shopping for decorations, this will help you keep to the palette when picking up items.
Things to look for: candles, squash, throws (warm plaids can be kept around throughout the Christmas season as well), put a bundle of sticks into a vase, bowls of chestnuts, and silk flowers can pretty much be stuck on anything.
Place these where you see fit, coffee tables, mantles, counters, be sure not to overdo it, candles make great fillers in areas where you can’t fit much, but feel like something should be there.
The Table
This is probably the most important part, hours can be spent at the table during Thanksgiving, and it’s really simple to make it look beautiful. All you really need is a nice centerpiece, I am really liking the look of bunched wheat this year, and it is super easy and inexpensive. Stick your wheat into a small vase or tie it with thick ribbon and surround that with squash, chestnuts, silk leaves and flowers, and some candles.
Use colored wine glasses and plates, simple napkins, and place mats. Use a careful eye, and don’t crowd the table, all of your guests should have enough space for their plates, cutlery, and glasses.
The Door
Door is fairly simple, a single wicker wreath would do, you could keep that bare or grab some silk flowers and leaves, maybe some real pinecones, take a glue gun and attach them to the wreath. This is super simple and can look really beautiful.
A warm welcoming doormat is always a nice touch as well.
I hope these tips helped and good luck with all of your decorating; let us know if you have any other easy Thanksgiving décor tricks!

Why Sisal Mats are great for you and the environment
Why Sisal Mats are great?
Sisal Mats as the name suggests are woven from natural plant fibers. These plants fibers are called sisal fibers which are harvested from the leaves of a cactus plant named Agave sisalana that are found in Africa and Brazil. It prefers the arid desert climate as it is a cactus plant. This plant has been cultivated to make into rope and twine for its internal tensile fibers. This twine is now woven into sisal rugs or mats for the floor. Since the sisal fiber is used to make ropes it is stronger, more durable and resilient than any other natural fibers like jute, coir and hemp.
Sisal Mats have a huge advantage over other types of mats. First of all, sisal mats are naturally stain resistant hence we make our environment better for our kids, pets and ourselves by not using any chemical stain remover. Secondly, sisal rugs are very environmentally friendly products as you don’t need a chemical to clean it up as well as are made from natural fibers. Thirdly, sisal rugs are ideal for high traffic areas as they are stronger, durable and more resilient and do not show any wear and tear patterns. Fourthly, sisal mats are anti-static and do not built up static electricity on windy days and absorbs more sound than other carpets. Fifthly, sisal mats are safer for your homes as they are naturally resistant to fires.
Sisal Rugs are a smart choice as they have a unique feature that they can be tightly woven with other textiles such as wool or sea grass weave which can give these rugs the overall benefits of both these fibers. Usually people prefer a combination of sisal and wool which makes it more soft, warm and durable. Sisal Mats are also very versatile and gives a great textured and natural look to any office or home are and hence are a huge favorite of interior designers for their beautiful appearance. Furthermore, sisal rugs can be made even more beautiful as their edges can be trimmed in any fabric. The option for this fabric can be in various colors like blue, green, sandstone, black etc. to match the theme of your office or home décor. Homeowners love this customization feature of the sisal rugs. Sisal Rugs comes in a wide variety of color and weaves and hence offers a huge selection to the interior designers even for rooms that are hard to decorate.
Sisal rugs like other natural rugs are great for indoor air quality as they do not release VOC emissions which are usually associated with new rug smell. Moreover, sisal rugs, like the plant itself also release moisture during drier days or by absorbing the moisture in the air and hence regulate the humidity in the home. Since, sisal mats do not attract dust it also is good for people with allergies. Furthermore, sisal rugs can be backed with wool and cotton so as to make them stay on the floor and keep it safe from the coarse fibers of sisal. Sisal Mats are very easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner or with soap and water but should not be steam cleaned. Although sisal rugs are stain resistant they are not stain proof and if stains do occur, clean it quickly with soap and water or club soda and blot it out and dry with a hair dryer. Sisal rugs, however, cannot be used in areas of high humidity such as bathrooms or kitchen as they can develop water stains.
