The Hay Door Mat - Multicolor excels as an aesthetic and inviting element for specific indoor locations. Its primary role is to enhance the visual appeal of an entryway or living area rather than heavy-duty dirt trapping. The pure jute weave offers a pleasant underfoot feel and a natural look that integrates well with various decor styles, from minimalist to bohemian.
Real-World Applications:
Inside a Terrace Door: Place it just inside a sliding or French terrace door to define the entry point, protect the floor from light dust, and add a welcoming touch. For example, in a sunroom or balcony access point where shoes are typically removed.
Living Room Accent: Utilize it as a decorative mat in a low-traffic zone within your living room, perhaps under a console table or near a reading nook. Its soft wool trim and two-tone design make it a subtle yet impactful decor piece.
Guest Entryway: In an apartment or home where the main entrance receives moderate foot traffic, this mat serves as a stylish welcome, complementing your interior design. It helps subtly indicate a transition point without being overly functional for heavy soil.
Its design by HAY ensures it's primarily a piece of decor that also offers the practical benefit of a mat in a home environment.
Setting up your Hay Door Mat - Multicolor is straightforward:
Unroll and Place: Gently unroll the mat and position it in your desired indoor location, such as inside a terrace door or in a living room area.
Flatten: If the mat retains any curl from packaging, lay it flat and consider placing heavy, flat objects on the corners for a few hours to help it settle.
Indoor Use Only: This mat is designed exclusively for indoor environments.
Low to Moderate Traffic: Best suited for areas with low to moderate foot traffic where its aesthetic qualities can be appreciated without excessive wear.
Surface Type: Compatible with most indoor flooring types, including wood, tile, and laminate. For polished or slippery surfaces, consider a non-slip rug pad underneath (not included) to prevent movement, as the mat itself doesn't have a non-slip backing.
Proper care will maintain the beauty and longevity of your jute and wool mat:
Regular Shaking: Periodically shake the mat outdoors to remove loose dirt and dust.
Vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low suction setting to gently clean the surface. Avoid using beater bars, which can damage natural fibers.
Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more persistent spots, use a small amount of mild soap dissolved in water. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, dabbing gently, then blot dry. Do not saturate the mat.
Avoid Moisture: Jute and wool can be damaged by excessive moisture. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or steam clean. Avoid placing the mat in damp areas.
Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consult a professional rug cleaner experienced with natural fibers.
Rotate Periodically: To ensure even wear and exposure, rotate the mat every few months.
