As the seasons shift, colour takes centre stage in shaping the mood of our homes. Autumn 2025 brings a rich, layered palette that balances comfort with sophistication, drawing from nature, heritage influences, and bold statements. Whether you’re refreshing a room or adding seasonal touches through accents like cushions, rugs, or even your doormat, these are the colours to know this Autumn.

Rust and Terracotta Tones

The earthy warmth of terracotta continues to dominate, bringing instant cosiness to living spaces. Expect to see rich rusts, burnt oranges, and clay-inspired shades across soft furnishings and statement walls.

Deep Forest Greens

Green remains a hero colour in 2025, but Autumn leans into the deeper, moodier end of the spectrum. Think pine, olive, and moss; shades that bring the outdoors in.

Spiced Plum and Mulberry

Purple shades are making a comeback, with rich spiced plums and mulberry tones adding a luxe, dramatic edge to interiors.

Soft Neutrals

As a counterbalance to the season’s deeper hues, pale neutrals continue to play a role. Cream, chalk, and soft beige add serenity and allow richer shades to shine.

Autumn 2025’s colour story is one of warmth, depth, and natural inspiration. Whether you lean into bold plums or grounding greens, these shades set the perfect backdrop for the season. And with Artsy Mats, you can bring each trend to life right at your doorstep.

At Artsy Mats, we’re spotlighting the biggest Autumn 2025 trends that translate beautifully into doormats.

Warm Autumn Palettes

This season’s trending interiors celebrate rusty terracottas, deep burgundies, and golden ambers. A doormat in these shades instantly adds warmth to your entryway, echoing the changing leaves outside.

Nature-Inspired Motifs

Leaves, acorns, woodland animals — nature finds its way onto doormats in 2025, tying in with the broader biophilic interiors trend.

Statement Typography

Bold lettering is trending across home décor this year, from art prints to textiles. On doormats, seasonal greetings and statement fonts are a simple way to show personality.

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.

3. Safe & Slip-Free

All 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.

Kitchen vinyl mats are a stylish and practical addition to any home. To keep them looking their best, regular cleaning is essential. Here’s how to maintain your Artsy Mats vinyl kitchen mats with ease.

Step 1: Remove Loose Debris

Start by shaking the mat outside to dislodge crumbs and dirt. For a deeper clean, use a handheld vacuum or a soft broom.

Step 2: Wipe Down the Surface

Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap to wipe the mat’s surface. This will remove spills, stains, and everyday grime.

Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to preserve the mat’s design and integrity.

Step 3: Air Dry

After cleaning, let the mat air dry completely before placing it back in the kitchen. This prevents moisture build-up and maintains the mat’s shape.

Deep Cleaning

For a thorough clean:

1. Mix warm water with a gentle detergent.
2. Wipe both sides of the mat.
3. Rinse with clean water.
4. Allow to air dry completely.

Note: Do not machine wash or soak the mat, as this can damage the material.

If you’ve got a furry friend at home, you’ll know that keeping your floors clean can feel like a never-ending task. Muddy paw prints, shed fur, and the occasional little accident are all part of the package. That’s why a indoor washable doormat is a game-changer for pet owners. Not only do they help keep dirt under control, but they also add a touch of style to your home. Here’s why they’re a must-have if you share your space with a pet.

Stops Muddy Paws at the Door

No matter how much you try, pets will always find a way to track in dirt. Whether it’s wet paws after a rainy walk or dust from a day rolling around in the garden, a washable doormat by the door helps trap the mess before it spreads.

A Cosy Spot for Pets to Lounge

Pets love a comfy surface, and a soft, stylish doormat can double up as a cosy resting spot. Whether it’s in a sunny patch by the window or in a high-traffic area where they like to curl up, a washable mat adds comfort while protecting your floors. This can also help keep pet hair under control – it can trap loose hairs before they make their way onto your furniture and carpets.

Protects Your Floors from Scratches and Spills

Excitable pets can be tough on floors – zoomies, food spills, and enthusiastic digging at the door can all take their toll. A doormat in the right places, like under food and water bowls or by entrances, helps prevent damage and keeps things tidy.

Easy to Clean

Traditional doormats can be difficult to clean, but a washable one is designed for ease. When it starts looking grubby, just pop it in the washing machine and it’ll come out looking good as new!
