Mid-Century Style Doormats

Starry Welcome Mat

This doormat has atomic stars and a whimsical font to spruce up any mid-century modern ranch. The simple coir and black print will complement a brightly painted door.

Polka Dot Doormat

How are we for polka dots, do we need more? The answer is always yes! This classic doormat will give your patio 1950s charm.

AstroTurf Daisies

For a durable yet darling option, nothing compares to the AstroTurf daisy doormat born in 1965. One of the creators was interviewed here saying, “They clean your feet. They catch the dirt. I just don’t see why everybody doesn’t want one.”

I have to say I agree! The daisy doormat brings retro cuteness to my Trex deck. Apparently it’s a desirable lounging spot, too.

Dirt Grabber Mat

I also have a rubber doormat with this “dirt grabber” mesh weave that withstands all kinds of Pacific NW weather. It comes in several colors including mid-century pink, so it is just as pretty as it is functional.

Modern Rectangles

Combining black rubber and plain coir, this doormat looks both stylish and tough. It is heavy on the mid-century modern vibes with overlapping rectangles and clean lines.

Stylish Squares

My personal favorite is this all-weather doormat complete with minimalist, dirt-trapping squares. Over the many years that I’ve had this on my front porch, it has never faded or worn out, in spite of the Portland rain, snow and mud. SO MUCH MUD.

Squares

This doormat isn’t flashy, but I love the modern square pattern. And with large sizes and a low pile, it’s the ideal base for layering seasonal rugs over the top.

Geometric Doormat

If you prefer having more color on your porch, try this heavy duty mesh mat with an abstract design. The mid-century orange, yellow and blue will tie in with a mod decor scheme.

Hello, Goodbye

Finally, you can embrace the later years of the mid-century era with this Beatles-inspired doormat. The best part will be having this song in your head every time you leave the house.

Styling Your Mid-Century Porch

Along with a new doormat, you can add more mid-century style to your porch with bold paint and a DIY card wreath. Soften the look with fresh greenery in a modern planter like this one from Hip Haven.
