DOORMATS FOR THE AUTUMN/WINTER SEASON
Have you ever wondered which are the best dryer mats for the autumn/winter season? You're in the right place. Read the article and get inspired!
When the season changes and bad weather like snow and rain are the order of the day, all you have to do is prepare your home. Finding the right dryer mats for the season is very important, to keep your home clean despite the weather changes.
Which doormats to choose for autumn/winter
When the colder season is in full swing and the weather is very frequent, it is important to have a resistant and absorbent slip resistant mat at the entrance to avoid bringing water and mud into the house. Another key feature is the presence of a resistant non-slip backing to prevent the mat from shifting as you wipe your shoes before entering.
That said, which are the most absorbent doormats?
Rubber doormats, which are very resistant to the weather and have good dirt-catching power, but are not at all absorbent, should be eliminated from the list from the outset.
Coconut doormats, a true classic at the entrance, also offer many advantages in terms of resistance and cleaning of the soles (as well as aesthetic merits), but do not offer much absorbency in the rain.
The most absorbent materials from which a dryer mat can be made are usually the synthetic fibres: polyester and microfibre (which is derived from the combination of polyester and polyamide).
This is because synthetic fibres have fine, dense pores which, in structure, make them very similar to a sponge.
They have a positive electrostatic charge, i.e. they attract dirt and dust with ease, and a high drying speed that allows them to be used easily and continuously.
How practical is washing the doormat?
The practicality of washing a doormat is a key feature.
You can't expect to clean your shoes well in a dirty carpet!
Therefore, especially in the autumn/winter season (when mud is the number one enemy of every entrance), you must be able to wash your entrance mat frequently.
The speed of drying, in this case, should not be underestimated: the quicker a doormat dries, the quicker you will be able to reposition it at the entrance and the more times you will feel free to wash it, knowing that it will be an easy and quick task to do!
Specifically, doormats made of synthetic fibres (polyester, nylon, microfibre...) can be washed by hand or comfortably by machine at 30°, can withstand frequent washing and dry much more quickly than any other fabric!
Here, then, is the second reason why a synthetic fibre doormat is a perfect dryer mat for the autumn/winter season.
The power of colour in home decor
Colour has the fantastic power to instil sensations, awaken emotions and change the moods of those in contact with it.
In home decor, colour plays a fundamental role: it can create larger sensations, it can warm and make a room more cosy, it can make some spaces stand out and hide others, and so on.
In a somewhat gloomy season like autumn/winter, using furnishing accessories that make your home more welcoming or more cheerful can be of great help not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also in relation to your moods and those of your guests.
The cozy style, for example, teaches us that neutral, light colours, soft lighting and warm, cosy furnishings (such as a long-pile cushion, a loose-knit wool blanket or a long, soft-pile shaggy rug) can make the moments we spend at home much happier, instilling tranquillity, gentleness and a feeling of greater comfort.
In short, a style that pampers you and is based on the basic philosophy of life according to which little is needed to be happy and content, even at home.
The eclectic style, on the other hand, teaches you to select for your home décor whatever you like and represents you most through the use of decisive and opposing colours, prints and different styles, telling, in what way, a lot about your personality.
In this style, vivid, bright, intense colours are favoured, infusing a good dose of charge, positivity and cheerfulness. Password: power of colour!
So, if the way you use colours in your home can change your day or set a different tone when welcoming your guests, the entrance hall is the first area to start with, isn't it?
