“Rather than a regular doormat, this clever woman cut into her floors to do THIS”

Why More Homeowners Are Copying This Idea

Once people see how tidy and modern a recessed mat looks, they rarely go back to the old version. It’s especially popular in:

• Mudrooms
• Back entrances
• Patio doors
• Garage entryways
• Busy family homes with pets or kids

It’s practical, stylish, and saves cleaning time—what’s not to love?

A Small Project with Big Impact

What began as a curiosity-driven DIY turned into an entryway transformation that’s inspiring homeowners everywhere. Instead of buying yet another floppy, muddy mat, this woman created a solution that’s built to last.

Sometimes, the best home upgrades come from asking the question:
“Is there a smarter way to do this?”

In her case, the answer was yes—and the results speak for themselves.
