2026 is set to be a year of comfort, character and quiet confidence in colour. After years of minimalism and muted tones, we’re now seeing a move toward warmth, richness and emotional connection in the colours people choose for their homes and personal style.
From deep nature-inspired tones to joyful pops of colour, here are the shades shaping the year ahead.

Chocolate Brown: The Colour of 2026

If there’s one shade truly defining 2026, it’s chocolate brown. Rich, comforting and effortlessly sophisticated, chocolate tones are taking over interiors, fashion and lifestyle design this year. 2026’s chocolate shades are deep, creamy and luxurious, offering warmth without heaviness.

Earthy, Grounding Luxury

Nature continues to inspire colour direction, but 2026 takes the trend deeper, richer and more sophisticated. These tones feel grounding, nurturing and timeless rather than trend-led. Expect to see deep forest greens, olive and moss tones, burnt terracottas and warm umbers. These colours bring calm and depth into interiors, pairing beautifully with natural materials like wood, stone and linen. They create relaxing spaces that feel connected to the outdoors which is something homeowners are valuing more than ever.

Rich Blues and Inky Depths

Blue is evolving again in 2026. Forget soft pastels and airy coastal tones – the focus now is on deeper, moodier and more luxurious shades. These blues feel dramatic, elegant and quietly powerful. Navys, petrol blues and deep teals work brilliantly in living spaces, kitchens, bedrooms and statement décor. They add instant sophistication and pair beautifully with brass, dark woods and warm neutrals.

Warm Neutrals Take Over from Grey

Grey has had a long reign but 2026 is officially its gentle farewell. Instead, we’re seeing a rise in warming neutrals that feel softer, friendlier and more organic. Oat, mushroom and creamy off-whites bring serenity without feeling cold or clinical. They create a luxurious understated look and work perfectly as a base palette for layering bolder colours or textures.

Pops of Optimistic Colour

Alongside deep, grounding shades, 2026 also embraces joyful colour moments. After years of uncertainty globally, people are choosing colours that spark happiness and positivity. Look out for muted mustard, playful teal accents, peachy tones and soft corals. Used thoughtfully in accessories or feature details they add character and life without overwhelming a space.

Colour in 2026 is beautifully considered. It’s less about trends for trend’s sake and more about creating emotion, comfort and individuality. Whether you love deep moody shades, soothing neutrals or joyful pops of colour, this year’s palette offers something meaningful for every style of home.
And we have a mat for every trend, and every home – shop our full range here.

As we welcome 2026, style-conscious homeowners are stepping into the new year with more personality, colour and creativity than ever before. The humble doormat is no longer just practical, it’s a statement piece. Doorways are becoming curated spaces, setting the tone for the home from the moment guests arrive.

Here’s what we predict will define doormat style in 2026.

Statement Art at the Front Door

Art-inspired homeware is huge, and this will be no different for doormats in 2026. Think gallery-worthy prints, intricate detailing and designs that feel more like décor than utility.
William Morris-inspired patterns, artisan prints and heritage designs will continue to rise as customers look for products that feel collected, not mass-produced.

Warm, Earthy Sophistication

Home décor is moving toward warmth and depth, and doormats are following. Expect deeper colour palettes, romantic tones and layered design work that complements stone, oak and neutral exterior styling.
Rust, olive, inky blue and chocolate brown pair beautifully with trending exterior paint colours and natural flooring.

Texture is Everything

Flat mats are fading out. Homeowners want tactile, soft-under-foot doormats that feel luxurious as well as durable.
Washable textures, layered weaves and mats designed to feel plush yet functional will dominate.

Personal & Playful Messaging

People want their homes to feel welcoming, personal and expressive. Quirky wording, cheerful typography and humour-led designs will be a big part of 2026 doormat style—especially for family homes and pet lovers.

Sustainability Matters More Than Ever

Eco-conscious shopping is no longer a niche trend, it’s expected. Customers are increasingly choosing brands who value responsible materials, thoughtful manufacturing and long-lasting products.

Final Thoughts

2026 is all about character, craft and comfort. Whether it’s timeless heritage prints or modern interior-inspired colour palettes, doormats are set to become a key styling piece in the home.
If you’re refreshing your home for the new year, your front door is the perfect place to start.

Your entryway is the first impression your home gives – and your doormat is the first detail people notice. It’s small but powerful: a hint of your style, a slice of personality, and a practical tool that keeps dirt outside where it belongs.
Here’s how to use your doormat to set the perfect tone as guests step through your door.

Start with your style: What story do you want to tell?

Every home has an aesthetic. Whether you love cottage charm, chic modern minimalism or bright, playful pops of colour, your doormat is a natural place to showcase it.
Modern homes pair beautifully with clean lines, abstract patterns or monochrome designs.
Classic or country homes suit natural coir textures and botanical prints.
Creative households often lean into quirky slogans or bold artwork to show their fun side.

A mat isn’t just something you wipe your feet on – it can be the handshake that introduces your home’s character.

Coordinate with your door and surroundings

Take cues from what already exists:
Door colour – Earthy greens and blues pair beautifully with natural coir; darker doors benefit from lighter or patterned mats to add contrast.
Hardware – If your fixtures are brass, black or brushed steel, choose mat tones that complement them.
Plants & planters – A mat can harmonise with surrounding greenery or provide balance if your doorway is more minimalist.

Choose the right size

A mat that’s too small looks lost which is a common styling mistake.
A correctly-sized mat should:
Span at least ⅔ the width of your door
Allow comfortable foot placement
Look in proportion with the entrance or porch
Larger entryways can even handle oversized mats or runners, especially for busy households.

Match Function to Lifestyle

Design matters, but so does practicality. Consider:
Coir mats for a natural, rustic look and excellent dirt-scraping.
PVC-based mats for durability, moisture resistance and bold printed designs.
Washable mats for homes with kids, pets, rainy climates or high foot traffic.
The goal? A doormat that matches how you live and how you want your home to feel.

Add personality through colour and mood

Colour sets atmosphere instantly. Warm neutrals feel welcoming, darker palettes feel dramatic and sleek. Bold colours or patterns add energy and fun. Think of your mat as décor, not a throwaway item. It can reflect the season, your humour, or your home’s overall vibe.

Final Thoughts

Your doormat does more than protect your floors. It speaks, it hints, it welcomes.It sets the tone for everything that comes after, it’s the perfect first impression.

Why Busy Households Love Our Mats

Between muddy football boots, school runs, wagging tails, and rainy walks, family life can be messy. But your outdoor doormat can be your first line of defence… and your best friend.

Built for Mud, Rain & Real Life

Our durable coir mats are top-rated for their excellent dirt-scraping ability. Whether it’s soggy wellies or sandbox shoes, they hold up beautifully.
For wetter zones, our recycled outdoor mats shine; waterproof, quick-drying, and perfect for high-traffic entrances. No slipping, no soaking, no stress.

Pet-Friendly Picks

Got dogs (or cats!) dashing in and out? Our mats trap pawprints and prevent muddy surprises inside. Plus, they’re super easy to clean—just shake, hose, or brush.
Some customers even use our outdoor mats as a base for their dog’s food and water bowls. The soft, springy texture is gentle on little paws, while the waterproof PVC easily stands up to spills and slobber.

Safe & Slip-Free

All of our mats come with grippy backings to help prevent slips on tile, stone, or decking. That’s one less thing to worry about when little feet are running around.

Fun Designs That Spark Joy

Our playful prints from paw prints to personalised family names make your home feel welcoming, stylish, and lived-in (in the best way). Why not let the doormat say “The Harrisons” or “Bella, Wipe Your Paws!”?

Your outdoor doormats work hard: facing muddy boots, paws, pouring rain, and everything in between. But with just a little regular care, you can keep it looking sharp and working effectively for years to come. Whether you’re using our outdoor mats in your home, outdoors, or in a commercial space, keeping them clean is essential to maintain their appearance and functionality.

Shake or Brush Weekly

Whether you’ve got a coir or PVC outdoor doormat, a weekly shake-out or sweep is essential. For our outdoor mats, a simple shake usually does the trick due to it’s unique texture.

Hose It Down

Our unique outdoor mats are waterproof as they’re made from PVC, so a monthly hose-down keeps them looking brand new. Let them drip-dry naturally (ideally propped up vertically). The design of our outdoor mats allows water to flow through the matting, carrying away dirt, dust, and other particles.

Deep Clean

For any stubborn stains or spills on your outdoor mat, spot cleaning is the way to go. Prepare a mild cleaning solution of warm water and gentle detergent, and apply it to the affected area using a sponge or brush. Gently scrub in circular motions until it begins to lift. Make sure to rinse the area thoroughly with water to remove residue. It’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface/design of the mat.

Store in Harsh Weather

In winter or heavy storms, storing your mat in a dry spot can extend its lifespan – this is particularly true for coir mats, which don’t like excessive water exposure. Our recycled-PVC noodle mats are hardier and great in all seasons, but storing them still helps preserve colour vibrancy.

Rotate Regularly

Give your mat a break from direct sunlight by rotating it occasionally if the pattern allows – this prevents uneven fading and wear.

With just a little regular upkeep, your outdoor doormat can stay looking great and working hard all year long. Whether you’re battling muddy boots or keeping paws in check, a clean, well-maintained mat makes a big difference—both for your home’s appearance and cleanliness. A few minutes of care now will keep your mat fresh, functional, and fabulous for seasons to come.
