Unless you’ve already upgraded to apartment living, you’re likely without a front porch at the moment. But, believe it or not, welcome mats can still play a part in personalizing your living space. Whether you place one right outside your front door (even if it’s in a hallway) or your bedroom door, you’d be surprised by how much your doormat can say about you. That’s why we’ve collected these 10 adorable DIY welcome mats. Go ahead; give one a try this weekend!

Monogram
Claim that front porch, ladies. It’s not truly yours until you put your monogram on it, right? This HGTV project does just that!
Inspirational
We all need a little reminder of this on our way out the door. Though this is actually an Etsy original, you can easily replicate it on your own with stencils.
Fun Colors
Welcome home! A little paint is really all you need to make this colorful mat, crafted by A Beautiful Mess.
Greetings
Perhaps, your doormat should speak to your guests. Greet them as they arrive and say goodbye when it’s time to go with this Beckham and Belle creation.

Autumn
Simple and elegant. You can even spice up this fall doormat from Life is a Party by making the leaves multiple colors.
Winter
This Curbly ornament mat is adorable, you guys. Use their template to customize your very own with the colors and design of your choice!
Summer
Summer cookouts, here we come! You can totally conquer this project in a weekend, like The House That Lars Built did.
Whether you choose to add words to your mat, a seasonal theme or just a spunky pattern, these DIY mats will represent your personal style and allow your guests to get to know you even before you greet them with a hello.
