Hotel doormat

In fact, the mat placed at the gate can be placed inside or outside the door, because the main function of the mat is to clean the dust and dirt on the soles of the shoes for the guests, and then place the shoes of the guests. So we just need to see if the floor mat is suitable inside or outside our house.

Generally speaking, if our room has a separate entrance area, which can be used to change shoes, or a shoe cabinet area, we can put the floor mat at the door. Because if the mat is placed inside the door, the guests will feel more at ease, and they will not worry about whether the shoes will cause inconvenience to others or be taken away by others accidentally.

However, some people's apartment is not suitable for the porch. This kind of apartment usually opens in the living room or restaurant, or teahouse. Therefore, the doors in these places basically have no areas where shoes can be taken off. Units like this usually put the shoe cabinets outdoors. In addition, there are hotels and other places, so these families can put insoles outside, because it is much more convenient to put them outside than indoors.

Another situation is that there is a shoe cabinet outdoors, but a floor mat is placed indoors to decorate the indoor area. Although these units don't have a special porch, they use the porch to create a sense of space in this way, so people like this will put summer sleeping mats indoors.

Of course, in fact, people nowadays don't lack that mat at all. Some people simply buy two cushions at home, one outside and the other inside, so they can choose whether the guests want to take off their shoes outside or inside.
