CONCLUSION
The rugs reviewed above will serve a variety of purposes in various sizes and colors. The main purpose that these welcome door mats will serve is to give you more of what you are at a lake house for: time.
You can achieve a relative and healthy amount of cleanliness by stopping dirt and debris at the door. They are mats that can be picked up and shaken to remove stones, sand, dirt and twigs that otherwise would find its way into the living areas of your lake house.
Not all of it will be stopped, and that is not the point. Part of the atmosphere and experience of a lake house is the bits and pieces of the outdoor that are inside.
You want the items in your lake house, welcome mats included, that will work for you, not another item that requires maintenance and care. We know that we can’t eliminate all upkeep, that is not realistic, but we do want to minimize the time spent doing so.
The time away at a lake house is precious, and if a welcome mat at the entry doors help keep the debris where we can fling it back where it came from, then it is a good item to have at the doors.
In thinking of the variety of colors of door mats, my favorite in any of the selection of welcome mats for a lake house would be a darker brown. On this color, dirt would be less visible and if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist!
