Every home NEEDS a doormat at their entrance, especially during the rainy weather. You don’t want to be stomping into your home with drenched kicks and wet clothing. Get a mat that can soak up the excess water before you head into the comfort and warmth of your home. Adding a bright coloured doormat is a great way to add a pop of happy to the dreadful season.

The Crochet Eye Rug from Etsy is literally eye-catching and we absolutely love it!

The rug adds the perfect tinge of colour and character to the entrance of your home, separating it from the season’s  gloomy outdoors.
