When you decide to buy a southwest style door mat or welcome mat, you will find that these are sturdy, made to last mats, that will stand up to a lot of abuse and still look great. Made of heavy coir fiber (coir is the tough fiber from the outside of the coconut, and is difficult to wear out when used in mats and rugs, besides being unaffected by salt water), which guarantees that you will not have to worry about replacing your door mat very often. These mats are wonderfully abrasive with strength to clean muddy shoes and boots, and also may be cleaned with the garden hose. To help keep them where they are intended, a rubber bottom is usually found on southwest door mats.

You may have a hard time making a decision because there are many southwest design from which to choose. By going with what really catches your eye from the start, you will probably find just the right design. Many people love the natural and original look of the welcome mats with a Native American theme. These mats will feature such elements as the Kokopelli or a roadrunner on a geometric background, helping to recall a time before the settlers arrived. The geometric designs so beloved from Navajo rugs and blankets are available as well as the popular lizard and sun face. You can be assured that whichever Native American design you choose for your welcome mat, it is sure to get the attention and admiration it deserves.

Some people are more attracted to the lively and robust cowboy era and this still lives on in the many designs offered. The feeling of bunkhouses, corals, and rodeos is summoned up immediately when your visitors see a cowboy on a bucking bronco at their feet. And nothing conveys a feeling of the southwest like horses, and you will find that several different styles are available; running horses or horse heads in the bold, bright colors you expect. Rodeo sports and cowboy hats and boots are lively and colorful designs and bring you right back to the bunkhouse or coral. You can almost hear the shouts of the crowds and neighing of the horses.
