A fall doormat can welcome in the new season ... and your guests! Aside from pumpkin-spiced everything and sweater weather, one of the best parts of fall is the decor. You may or may not need a doormat dedicated specifically to the fall season, but will it bring joy to you, your family, your friends and your Amazon delivery person? It sure will.
The first day of fall is Sept. 22, which gives you plenty of time to buy the perfect fall doormat. There are several types of doormats to choose from, including fall-inspired styles, punny sayings, Halloween and Thanksgiving-themed welcome mats, and more neutral designs that can be used year-round.

Of course, a doormat serves more purpose than just decor. It can be placed outside or inside your front door, allowing your family and visitors to easily scrub or wipe the bottoms of their shoes before entering your home.
What to Consider When Purchasing a Fall Doormat
Size: The size of the doormat you choose will depend on the size of the entrance to your home. A standard-sized single door will typically work best with a doormat that measures around 30 by 18 inches, while a mat measuring around 36 by 22 inches will fit better with a double door or larger entrance.
Shape: Most doormats are rectangular in shape to fit the entire entryway. You can also find entryway mats that are square, round, half circle, or uniquely shaped like a leaf, pumpkin or another object. Whatever shape you choose, you'll want to make sure that it fits proportionately in front of your door.
Material: The best fall-themed doormats (and mats featuring any type of design or theme) are made of coir, an eco-friendly material made up of the natural fibers from the husks of coconuts. Coir is known for its durability, versatility, cost-effectiveness and slip-resistance. It's the best material for printing words and designs, AKA super cute fall prints. Another good material option is polyester, which is a bit softer than coir. Rubber or PVC material is often placed on the back of doormats to prevent them from moving around.
Style: Doormats get a bad rap, but they don't have to be boring. There are so many designs to choose from, you can be picky and search for a doormat that matches your style and the vibe of your home. Choose a doormat that'll make you smile every time you walk in the door—whether it's pretty, funny or gets you in the mood for the fallidays (fall holidays).
