As the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisper, it's time to welcome the fall season with open arms. One of the best ways to set the stage for a warm and inviting entryway is by layering rugs under your hand-made doormats. At Nickel Designs, we offer a selection of layering rugs and coordinating doormats to enhance your doorstep for the autumn season.

In this blog post, we'll guide you on how to select the perfect layering rug to pair with your doormat, and we'll highlight some of our favorite fall-themed options.

Choosing the Right Layering Rug:

Consider the Color Palette:

When selecting a layering rug to go under your doormat, the color palette is essential. For a warm and inviting fall look, consider our collection of layering rugs:

• Boho Striped Rug with Fringe: Earthy tones with a hint of vibrancy.
• Maroon Rug with Fringe: Deep, rich burgundy that exudes fall charm.
• Tan and Cream Striped Rug: A classic choice that complements various doormat designs.
• Mustard Yellow Rug with Fringe: A pop of sunshine to brighten up your entryway.

Texture Matters:

Pay attention to the texture of the layering rug. Fringed rugs add a cozy and stylish touch to your doorstep, creating a more inviting atmosphere for your guests.

Size and Shape:

The size and shape of the layering rug should complement your doormat. Ensure that the rug extends a few inches beyond the doormat's edges, creating a balanced and visually pleasing look. Our layering rugs come in many sizes but the most common is about 24x36 inches to fit a standard, 18x30 inch doormat.
