Style Overview

You know you picked the right gift the second she peels back the tissue paper and laughs out loud! That's the fun of cute doormats: they get used every single day, and they say hello to her guests before she does. We fill this collection with cheerful welcome mats and backyard treasures that carry the same free-spirit energy from the front walk to the firepit. Start with our boho doormats full of color for the front porch.

Where to Put Your Welcome

The front porch is the classic spot, and for good reason. A cheery mat is the first thing guests see, so it sets the mood for the whole visit. Center it at the threshold with room for the door to swing freely, and let the design face arriving friends so the greeting reads right side up as they walk toward you.

Don't stop out front, though! The back entry, the patio slider and the garage step all see just as much foot traffic, and honestly, usually more. We love tucking a mat wherever muddy boots and wet dogs come charging in after a rainy fall walk, since that's the doorway working hardest all week. A camper step or a she-shed landing is a sweet place for one too.

If you're torn, start where you kick off your shoes most often. That entry deserves a little joy! You can always add a second mat later, and two different designs at two different doors keep the whole house feeling collected and personal.

Caring for Mats That Live Outside

Outdoor life is a workout, so a quick routine keeps your mat looking its best. Give it a good shake every few days to send loose dirt and fallen leaves flying, and let it dry fully after a rainy stretch. For scuffs and spots, a gentle spot clean usually does the trick, and always check the care label before anything more ambitious.

Placement helps as much as cleaning does. A covered porch or awning shields the print from soaking storms and heavy snow, which keeps the colors vivid longer. If your entry is fully exposed, bring the mat in during wild winter weather the way you would a cushion, then set it back out once the skies clear.

Rotating is our favorite little trick. Swap mats between doorways each season so no single one takes all the wear, and your entry gets a mini refresh in the process. It's a two-minute chore that feels like redecorating, and it stretches the life of every mat you love.

Styling Your Backyard, Boho Style

A doormat is the start of the story, not the whole book! Carry the color outward with joyful accents through the yard, and hang a few rainbow-making sun catchers in a nearby window so the light show greets you on the way in. These backyard treasures bring the one-of-a-kind style of our home treasures to porches, patios and garden paths.

Then build out the gathering spots. Pile cozy blankets onto the patio chairs, string up soft lighting, and keep a basket of picnic and camp goodies close by, so s'mores around the firepit come together in minutes. When the space feels ready for company, you'll find yourself out there way more often, even on crisp fall nights.

Our best advice is to mix, not match. Pair a floral mat with striped cushions, or a bold saying with soft accents nearby. Boho style loves a happy collision of prints, and the backyard is the most forgiving place to play with it.

Our Doormats Backyard

Our doormats and backyard treasures greet everyone who walks up, from cheerful welcome mats at the front door to colorful outdoor accents that make a porch, patio or garden nook feel warm and inviting. Each one carries the one-of-a-kind boho style and Give & Live Happy spirit we put into everything we make!

FAQs

How do I clean my doormat?

Keep it simple! Shake it out regularly to knock loose dirt and leaves free, and let it dry completely after rain so it stays fresh. For marks and scuffs, spot clean gently and check the care label before trying anything stronger. A little routine attention goes a long way toward keeping the colors bright and the greeting joyful, all year long.

Can I leave my doormat outside all the time?

Lots of our mats live happily on porches year-round, and a covered spot is their favorite home, since it softens the rain and snow. If your stoop is fully exposed, tuck the mat inside during heavy storms and set it back out after. Check the product page for details on your specific mat, since each design is a little different.

Do doormats make good gifts?

Yes, especially for the friend who just got keys to her first place, or the neighbor whose porch could use a laugh. A mat gets noticed the moment someone walks up, so it feels thoughtful without being fussy, and it keeps working long after a bouquet would have wilted. Pair it with a small treasure from our home gift ideas for a holiday housewarming.

How do I pick a design if I love more than one?

Honestly, we say don't pick! Different doorways can wear different designs, and rotating mats with the seasons means each favorite gets its turn. If you're choosing just one, go with the print or saying that made you smile first. Your entry should sound like you, whether that's a bold hello, a happy floral or a little bit of boho sass.
