Indoor-Outdoor Doormats Made from Recycled Plastic

September 1, 2020

The doormat is one of the first details visitors encounter in your house. How welcoming—and environmentally friendly—is yours?

Admired in our recent tour of the Mjölk Shepherd’s Hut: a mat that looks like a raked Zen garden. Made by Heymat of Oslo, Norway, it’s one of a line of indoor-outdoor designs composed of 50-to-100 percent recycled plastic. They’re also made to last: “the quality is the equivalent of an industrial mat with high absorption capacity,” notes Heymat. Here are some of our favorites.

Above: Heymat is an off-shoot of a three-generation, family-owned industrial cleaning business—after years of leasing mats to commercial customers in Norway, the company decided to start making their own and enlisted designers to come up with the patterns. The Lyn, shown here, is available from Austin-based Nannie Inez in two sizes starting at $159.

Above: The Sand Outdoor Entry Doormat—the Zen design we admired in the shepherd’s hut entry—is available from Mjölk’s online offshoot Minka for $245 Canadian Dollars. It’s also offered by Nannie Inez in two sizes, starting at $188. The dirt-catching textured pile is made of 100 percent recycled plastic and has a non-slip rubber backing.
the hand travertine mat comes in six sizes priced from \$\150 to \$500. 12
