Personalised Door Mats for Family

Personalised Family Doormats to Welcome Everyone Home

Want to represent your family right at the entrance to your home? Our personalised family doormat collection includes designs featuring parents, children, grandparents and pets. Names appear alongside illustrated characters, shoes or footprints in compositions chosen to represent your household.

A personalised family doormat serves its usual purpose as an entrance mat while displaying the people who live in the home. It is also an option for a joint family gift. Instead of choosing a separate present for each person, the entire household can be represented on one doormat.

The sizes and construction vary between products. A rectangular mat made from dense fibres has a different texture and proportions from a custom-shaped crystal velvet doormat.

Find a Custom Family Doormat That Matches Your Household

At Custom Chic, you'll find personalised family doormats with names, family illustrations and messages for different homes and households.

Personalised Welcome Doormats with Family Names

A “Welcome to the [Surname] Family” doormat is a classic design and one of the bestselling styles in the collection. It can complement different types of home decor. The illustrations can represent individual family members or include playful details such as slippers, bears or hearts for adults and children.

This type of doormat is a gift idea for a housewarming, wedding or move into a new home. It can also be delivered directly to the recipient as a surprise.

Cartoon Family Doormats with Custom Characters

Cartoon-style family doormats are among the collection's most popular designs.

These mats represent family members through illustrations with large eyes, expressive smiles and a familiar, playful appearance. Dad, Mum and the children can all appear in the same composition.

Some designs also include striking 3D printing effects, with artwork that creates the appearance of depth. These illustrations can catch guests' attention as they enter your home.

Personalised Family Photo Doormats

For a more distinctive entrance, a personalised family photo doormat can display a favourite photograph.

The image might be a family portrait, a holiday memory or a picture taken during a celebration.

Choose a photograph that is at least 1,000 pixels wide. Avoid backgrounds with too many details so that everyone's faces remain clearly visible.

The heat transfer printing process reproduces faces, colours and details clearly, particularly when the original photograph is of good quality.

Crossword Doormats for Large Families

With a large family, a conventional illustrated scene soon becomes crowded. A crossword design arranges names in a clear, balanced layout, with room for 15–20 names on the corresponding designs.

It is a thoughtful choice for blended families or a present from several generations. Some layouts also have photo options for a combination of family names and pictures.

Personalised Family Doormats with Pets

Pets are part of the family too, so why not add them to your custom family doormat? Personalise the design with your dog's or cat's name, breed illustration or favourite photo alongside other family members. Choose from rectangular doormats or playful custom shapes, such as paw prints. It's a fun gift for pet lovers and a cheerful addition to a busy household. For cleaning and outdoor use, check the care instructions for your chosen mat.

Personalised Family Doormats for Special Occasions

For a celebration, our personalised doormats combine a practical household item with artwork related to the occasion. A surname, family scene or seasonal greeting marks the entrance to the home they share.

Personalised Family Doormats for Housewarming

A family mat is a thoughtful housewarming present for a couple or a larger household. A greeting such as “Welcome to Our Home”, the surname and the family's dogs or cats reflects the people and pets settling in together.

The gift can also be sent directly to the recipient, even when you are unable to attend the housewarming in person.

Family Doormat Gifts for Christmas and Birthdays

For Christmas, names beside snowmen, Christmas trees, gingerbread figures or Santa create a seasonal welcome. Wording such as “Christmas at the Smiths” completes the picture of the household celebrating together.

Rectangular designs start at £19.95, an affordable present for the family.

Custom Family Doormats for New Homes

For a new home, size and intended use matter as much as the artwork. A compact 60 × 40 cm mat with wording such as “Welcome to Louis & Emma's” often works well for a flat. A larger entrance has room for a bigger, more robust format where people regularly pass through.

For pet owners, a dense-fibre mat with wording such as “The Martins & Nala” or “Max and His Dog's Home” represents the animals settling in too.

Choosing the Right Personalised Family Doormat for Your Entrance

Before ordering a personalised family doormat, consider the space, the conditions at the entrance and how many people you would like represented in the artwork.

What Size Family Doormat Should You Choose?

Measure the space in front of the door and check its opening clearance. The mat should lie flat without catching the bottom of the door.

• 60 × 40 cm: A compact format for a small entrance or narrow threshold.

• 75 × 50 cm: More surface area for a wider entrance and a larger family composition.

• 90 × 60 cm: A generous format where there is enough space around the doorway.

For a custom-shaped doormat, check the proportions of the actual artwork. A dimension of 81 cm, for example, does not necessarily mean that the mat measures 81 cm in both width and height.

Readability is another consideration. A composition with several characters and names occupies more visual space than a short message, even though the number of available personalisation fields is fixed by the design.

Indoor vs Outdoor Family Doormats

Your personalised family doormat could sit outside the front door, in the entrance hall or along a hallway. The best spot depends on the material and how much exposure it has to rain and moisture.

For indoor use, a dry entrance hall is a good spot for a mat personalised with family names, illustrations or pets. Place it on a clean, flat floor and check that the door can open freely over it. For hallways, measure the available floor space before ordering. Softer materials such as crystal velvet are better suited to these protected areas.

For a sheltered porch, check how much rain reaches the entrance. Even with a roof overhead, wind can blow water onto the mat. If it gets wet, leave it to dry completely before putting it back. Mats that aren't designed for prolonged moisture should stay in a dry, covered area.

For an exposed outdoor entrance, choose a doormat specifically designed for outdoor use. A non-slip backing doesn't necessarily mean the mat is waterproof, and UV resistance alone doesn't guarantee protection against frequent rain. Crystal velvet mats are better placed indoors, away from prolonged moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

Matching Your Doormat Design to Your Family Size

Consider the number of people, the intended position and the appearance you want at your entrance. These layouts accommodate different kinds of family composition; check the actual editable fields for the design before ordering.

• Cartoon or 3D-effect artwork: Typically arranged for 2–6 family members, preferably displayed indoors.

• Personalised shoes: Layouts for 2–7 family members, for an indoor or covered entrance.

• Footprints or handprints: Compositions for 2–8 family members, displayed indoors or in a covered space.

• Family photographs: More flexibility in the number of people pictured, primarily recommended for indoor display.

• Family crosswords: Layouts for 5–20 names, displayed indoors or in a covered outdoor entrance. This format is particularly practical for large or blended families and presents from several generations.

• A welcome message and surname: A design representing the whole household, for an indoor or covered outdoor entrance and occasions such as a housewarming or wedding.

Add Your Family's Names and Characters to a Doormat

Start with a family scene, footprints or a composition featuring your pets. Prepare the names and other details, then personalise the product online.

• Select the artwork that represents your household.

• Adjust the available characters or motifs and enter the requested names.

• Add pets where the composition has this option.

• Open PREVIEW to check the order of the people, names and illustrations.

• Select the dimensions and version, then review the quantity before ordering.

The displayed fields determine what is editable. The slogan, background colours and layout are not adjustable on every design.

For a gift prepared by several people, ask someone else to check the names before confirming the order, particularly the spelling, accents and hyphens.
