Doormats

Generally speaking, buying a doormat is about as interesting as, well, buying a doormat. In fact, when it comes to dull but necessary household items, doormats are right up there with toilet brushes, washing lines and plungers. A shame, because the humble doormat is the first thing most people look at when entering your home. And let's face it, although they do the job, those plain brown ones are pretty uninspiring. For this reason we set out to find a more eye-catching object on which to wipe our feet. And, after much searching, we now find the answer sitting on our own doorstep. And it could be on yours, too!

Shoe Max Doormats are beautifully made mats featuring a selection of quirky designs. Made from 100% coconut fiber with anti-slip rubber backing, Shoe Max mats are destined to become the doormats of choice for connoisseurs of the fine art of foot-wiping everywhere.

But what of the designs? Well, for starters there's "Soccer Field". This green and white delight is ideal for fans of the beautiful game. Indeed, if you ever tire of wiping your feet on it you could always use it as a template to demonstrate your tactical prowess with a few carefully positioned marbles. Just remember to pick them up afterwards or the next person to wipe their feet could end up a casualty. Next up is "Members only" - perfect for people who wish to hint at their selective houseguest policy without plastering the porch with ugly signs.

"Heart" is perfect for hopeless romantics who want to be swept off their feet as they wipe them. If you're looking to spruce up the entrance to your abode and impress guests the minute they arrive, the answer is quite literally on your doorstep.
