No matter what your living situation looks like, your front porch is making an introduction before you ever open the door. Maybe it’s a sprawling wraparound porch with rocking chairs and hanging baskets. Or it could be a tiny concrete rectangle barely big enough for a welcome mat. Of course your version of a front porch could also be the few feet of hallway outside your apartment door. Either way, it’s the first thing guests see, and first impressions are a real thing.

Think of it as the opening line to your home’s story. The plants you choose, the seasonal decor you put out and even the doormat at your feet all offer little clues about your personality. Do you lean classic and timeless? Are you the neighbor who wants everyone to smile before they even ring the bell? The answers can be reflected in your welcome mat.

Member’s Mark Americana Welcome Coir Doormat – 23″ x 35″, $12.97 at Sam’s Club

The beauty of a well-styled entryway is that it doesn’t require a lot of space or money. A few thoughtful touches can make even the smallest entrance feel warm and welcoming, like this Member’s Mark Americana Welcome Coir Doormat. It’s perfect if you’re looking to add a little patriotic personality to your front door.

Made from natural coir fibers, it has that classic doormat look and texture that feels right at home on a porch, stoop or entryway. The red, white and blue design is printed with fade-resistant paints, so it should keep looking fresh through plenty of summer gatherings and holiday celebrations. A vinyl backing with an anti-skid design helps keep it from sliding around every time someone comes through the door.

For decorating purposes, a 23-inch-by-35-inch mat tends to look more intentional than smaller mats that can sometimes feel undersized or get lost in the space. It’s also a great size for layering over a larger patterned outdoor rug.

Overall, Sam’s Club shoppers are really pleased with the quality of the mat.

“I am very happy with the Member’s Mark Americana Welcome Coir Doormat,” says a customer in their review. “The patriotic design is attractive and adds a warm, welcoming touch to my front porch. The coir material is durable and does an excellent job of trapping dirt and debris before it gets tracked into the house. It feels sturdy, stays in place well, and has held up nicely through different weather conditions.”

Snap it up for all of the summer holidays before it leaves Sam’s Club for the season.
