All month when I step through my front door I pause to admire our new porch. It’s a small daily pleasure that makes me smile and dream of warmer days ahead. Although it’s still a bit chilly, the sun has been shining and I can already feel spring approaching. This will be our first spring in this house, so I’m especially excited to spend more time outside, plant pots, and make the porch feel welcoming and beautiful.
A fresh doormat might seem like a minor detail, but it makes a noticeable difference. A pretty, clean mat creates an inviting first impression and sets the tone for the whole home. Even if you don’t have an outdoor porch, a cheerful doormat inside an apartment entryway can make the space feel cozier. My daughter Courtney lives in an apartment and always places a welcoming mat at her interior door—simple, but effective.
To inspire you for the season, here are some of my favorite doormat styles that are perfect for spring. Choosing one is an easy way to refresh your entry and start the season on a bright note.

On another spring note, my new book A Lovely Life will be released in late spring. I’m so excited to share it with you. The book celebrates small, intentional ways to make home life more comforting and beautiful for yourself and the people you love. Preordering is an easy way to make sure you receive a copy when it ships, and there are often pre-order bonuses available for those who order early. I hope the ideas inside bring encouragement and inspiration as you make your home feel more lovely this season.
