Rather than dropping $30+ on a welcome mat or outdoor rug, consider making one yourself. You’ll spend half of the money and get a custom product that works for your home.

Much like the buffalo check welcome mat shown earlier, this outdoor rug isn’t a rug at all, it’s painted right on to concrete.

DIY Welcome Mat by Poofy Cheeks
Have you ever stepped out of a shower onto a soft stone mat? It’s surprisingly comfortable and the water gets soaked up so the stones don’t get slippery.
