A "Welcome Mat" is a decorative mat placed at the entrance of a home or building. Its primary purpose is to provide a clean surface for wiping shoes before entering, helping to keep indoor spaces tidy. Welcome mats often feature welcoming messages, designs, or seasonal themes, making them a popular choice for personal expression. These mats can be made from various materials, including coir, rubber, and synthetic fibers. They come in different sizes and shapes to fit various doorways. A well-chosen welcome mat can enhance the overall appearance of the entrance and create a friendly atmosphere for guests.
