The humble doormat has undergone a quiet revolution, and in 2026, washable doormats are set to take centre stage. No longer just a functional necessity, they’re becoming an essential design piece for stylish, practical homes.

No more compromises between style and functionality; washable mats deliver both.
Style Without Sacrifice
2026 homeowners want their entrances to reflect personality, not just practicality. Washable mats have evolved to match interior and exterior design trends:
- Art-inspired patterns – from heritage prints to contemporary geometric designs
- Rich colour palettes – chocolate brown, navy, forest green, and playful accent tones

Sustainability in the Spotlight
Sustainability is no longer just a consideration, it’s a standard.
