What Size Doormat Do I Need? | Doormat Size Guide for Every Home

Let’s cut through the fluff: size does matter — especially when it comes to doormats. Get it wrong, and your entryway looks off, your mat doesn’t work, and dirt strolls in like it pays rent. Here’s how to get it right.

Your Doormat Size Options (and When to Use Each):

  • 16" x 24" — Great for tight spaces: small apartments, back doors, RVs, or single entryways where minimal footprint matters.

  • 18" x 30" — Our most popular size. Perfect for standard single doorways with just enough coverage to scrape, trap, and look good.

  • 24" x 36" — A bold step up. Ideal for larger porches, wide single doors, or when you just want to make a bigger impression.

Quick Rule of Thumb: Your doormat should be at least 80% the width of your door. Any smaller, and it looks like a coaster for your shoes.

Height Matters Too: Got a low-clearing door? Watch the thickness. Coir has texture and toughness, but if clearance is tight, consider where the mat will sit.

Bottom Line: Choose a mat that fits your doorway, your lifestyle, and your taste. Function and form should shake hands — not fight each other. Whether it’s cozy 16x24 or a beefier 24x36, the right fit makes your space pop and keeps the dirt where it belongs.
