How to choose the right size doormat for your front porch

Not sure what size doormat you need for your space? Don't worry, we've made it simple to find the correct size!

When it comes to decorating your home, the little details can make all the difference. A doormat is one of those details that can add personality and charm to your front porch while also serving a practical purpose. At Nickel Designs, we offer a variety of doormat sizes to fit any porch, so let's take a closer look at each size and how to choose the right one for your home.

The average size doormat is about 18x30 inches. This is what we call our Standard Size doormat.

Mini size: 12x24 inches Our mini size doormat is perfect for those with smaller front porches or for those who prefer a minimalist look. This doormat still provides a functional space to wipe your feet before entering your home but won't take up too much space on your porch.
Skinny size: 9x30 inches The skinny size doormat is ideal for narrow porches or entryways. This doormat is longer and narrower than the mini size, making it perfect for those with limited space.
Standard size: 18x30 inches Our standard size doormat is our most popular size and is perfect for most front porches. This size provides ample space for wiping your feet and is a great option for those who want a doormat that is not too big or too small.
Oversized: 24x36 inches The oversized doormat is perfect for larger front porches or for those who want a doormat that makes a statement. This size is great for showcasing your personality with a bold or colorful design.
Extra Long: 18x47 inches The extra long doormat is perfect for double doors or for those who want a doormat that extends further into their entryway.
Large: 24x48 inches Our large doormat is perfect for those with wide front porches or for those who want a doormat that covers more surface area. This size is also great for showcasing a bold or colorful design.
Extra Large: 24x60 inches The extra large doormat is perfect for those with large front porches or for those who want a doormat that makes a grand entrance. This size provides plenty of space for multiple people to wipe their feet and is also a great option for showcasing a bold or colorful design.

Now that you know the different sizes of doormats that we offer at Nickel Designs Doormats, how do you choose the right size for your front porch? Here are a few tips:

Measure your front porch or entryway to determine how much space you have for a doormat. Generally, a doormat should fill about 80% of the width of your front door. If this is not possible, you can also add a larger layering rug under the doormat to fill more space!
Consider the size of your front door and how much space you need for a doormat that will not interfere with the door opening and closing. Most of our doormats are about 5/8 inches thick and won't interfere with your door opening.
Think about how many people will be using the doormat at once. If you have a large family or frequent guests, a larger size doormat may be more practical.
Consider the style and design of your home and choose a doormat size that complements it.

In conclusion, a doormat is a simple yet important detail that can add personality and charm to your front porch. At Nickel Designs Doormats, we offer a variety of sizes to fit any porch, and by following these tips, you can choose the right size doormat for your home. With our custom and clever designs, your doormat can be a true reflection of your personality and style.
