Pro tip: If you really want your interior design skills to shine, your porch decor (or hallway decor if you live in an apartment like me lol) needs to be on point. Your entryway sets the tone for your entire living space, so you want to create a warm, inviting energy for yourself, as well as friends and family who might be visiting. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by adding an outdoor doormat!
In addition to making your house guests feel more welcome, doormats also prevent dirt, mud, debris, water, and whatever else ends up sticking to the bottom of our shoes—it's gross, I know—from entering your home. So if you don't have one already, go ahead and shop my list of the 16 best outdoor door mats in 2023, below. From lighthearted mats with words and graphics to sleek options and striped ones, I guarantee you'll find an outdoor door mat that matches your style and price point (plus, they're durable, long-lasting, and weather-resistant!).
