|
Lobster Rope Doormats are, hands-down, the best long-lasting mats for outdoors. Handcrafted from marine-grade rope designed to stand up to the roughest of weather, these hard-working outdoor mats will look beautiful at your front door for many years.
Whether you are buying your first or fifth Lobster Rope Doormat, let’s talk about having the world’s best outdoor doormat right at your front door.
Here are our best tips on how to choose a Lobster Rope Doormat for your home and how to care for it (it’s super easy - we promise!):
Factors to consider when choosing a Lobster Rope Doormat
What is a standard door mat size?
The correct front door mat size is a common question. The typical outdoor doormat size starts at 18" x 30", a popular choice for single doors. But, here's a handy tip: most front doors measure about 36" wide, so consider a larger Lobster Rope Doormat, like a 24" x 36", for that perfectly balanced look.
Another popular big doormat size is the 24" x 60". This extra large front door mat size is great for double doors since those usually start at 60" wide. Our Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormat Runner is just the perfect fit for these big entrances.
How do you measure for a front door rug? Try this simple trick: grab a piece of chalk and sketch out each door mat size. This way, you can visualize how each size complements your front door.
What color should a door mat be?
Follow this simple rule: choose solids and double weave mats in natural tones for a classic front door look. For a front door style that pops from the street, choose vivid colors for your outdoor door mats.
From bright stripes to earthy, natural tones, Lobster Rope Doormats work beautifully with any front door. Here are a some more few popular front door-doormat pairing tips that our customers love:
a. Create contrast - if your front door is a dark charcoal or black, opt for a lighter-toned doormat, like the Light & Dark Tan Double Weave. On the other hand a white front door is the perfect backdrop for bold colors - a Navy, Teal, Silver makes a fun, friendly welcome.
b. Add drama - light-colored front doors can create a show-stopping entrance when paired with deeper rope mat colors, such as solid navy or black.
c. Go monochromatic - for a cohesive look, choose a Lobster Rope Doormat with a color that matches your front door. For example, a navy door goes well with a Navy & Dark Tan Double Weave doormat for that warm, inviting touch.

Customer reviews and testimonials of Lobster Rope Doormats
Doormat quality and color – these are the two greatest features our beloved customers can't get enough of when it comes to Wicked Good Doormats. They know they're in for a top-notch Lobster Rope Doormat every single time. Here's what they have to say:
“The Lobster Rope Doormat from NETCO is so beautiful and well made. Found this doormat while doing a search for a front porch update we were doing. Almost went with a standard type doormat and so glad I didn’t. You will not be disappointed in the Lobster Rope Doormat. We did not use a non slip mat under it as the mat is heavy enough on its own and doesn’t slip. Looks beautiful with our front porch update!!”
“We just love our new door mat. It adds a pop of color to our front porch. Had a rainstorm the other night and it still looks great! We have received many compliments already.”
“The lobster mats are perfect for our homes. We have one at each door. The rope scrapes off dirt from shoes easily. The mat allows sun/air to pass through so there is no mess on the underside such as mold or algae.”
“We’re so happy with our new doormats! They’re sturdy and stylish with that quintessential New England quality that people look for in handmade items.”
“We just got back from visiting our son who lives in Maine. We absolutely love it there. My wife and I kept seeing and admiring these lobster rope doormats and thought they would be great for our home. Not only did they look good and were functional but they would add a “Maine feeling “ to our home here in Maryland. We are so happy with our new mats. They make us smile whenever we pull up to our home.”
