Nordic Non-Slip Door Mat

The Nordic Non-Slip Door Mat from Delva Home does the unglamorous work of keeping a home clean, and looks good doing it. A densely textured polypropylene surface scrapes grit, dust and moisture off shoes at the threshold, so less of the outside world ends up on your floors, rugs and carpet. The muted Scandinavian palette of green, grey, khaki and blue keeps it looking deliberate rather than utilitarian.

A rubber backing grips the floor so the mat stays where you put it instead of sliding underfoot, which matters most at busy entrances, on smooth tile and in wet weather. Make sure the mat and the floor beneath it are dry before use and check that it lies completely flat, as a rucked or soaked mat can still be a trip hazard. Weather-resistant fibres mean it copes with covered porches and patios as well as indoor hallways.

Two sizes cover most doorways: 45 x 75 cm for a standard entrance, and 60 x 90 cm where you want a wider landing zone or a double door. Cleaning is quick, so shake it out, vacuum it, or rinse and leave it to dry, and the quick-drying surface is ready to go again. Beyond the front door it works just as well in laundry rooms, mudrooms, back entrances and offices.
