Spray Painted Door Mats

Make 2 beautiful Spray Painted Door Mats at one time.

I love this time of year! It’s perfect weather for spray painting. And the perfect time to add a little color to the front and back porches. What better way to add color than to paint a couple of door mats?

I already had these 2 door mats but neither of them look very Spring-y or fresh. The black rubber mat has such a beautiful design but needed to be freshened up. And the brown one was just so plain. Paint always makes such a dramatic transformation inexpensively.

Since the rubber one has such a beautiful design I decided to use it as a stencil over the brown woven one. I always have a pretty good stash of spray paint so all I had to do was select a color. I chose Blue Hyacinth by Krylon and since it’s Fusion for plastic I think it will hold up pretty well under foot traffic. After 3 coats of paint it was finally dark enough for both mats. Let the door mats dry a few hours before handling them or walking on them.

I placed the woven one on the front porch. I love how it turned out and how quick and easy the process was.

Here’s a close up of the mat. I love the details transferred to the woven mat from the rubber mat (stencil).

I placed the rubber one by the back door to add some color back there too.

I still need to add flowers and a few other things to the front porch and I wanted to paint a table for the back. Hopefully I’ll be ready to share our outdoor spaces next week.

Have you been adding color to your outdoor spaces? What colors have you chosen for Summer?

    This is such a fantastic idea. Seriously, who would have thought to paint 2 at once to create 2 totally different looks… clearly you did, and I never would have so thanks SO much for sharing! Love it! Love that color too by the way! Have a great week!

    I love this idea, they both turned out great!

    You killed two birds with one stone and they look great!

    Hi Leanne! I love how these turned out. It gave me an idea about what to do with mine. No need to throw my old one away; I can just “liven it up” with some paint! Looks great!

    The mats look great and you were a smartie pants with your idea to end up with two cute ones!

    What a great idea!! I found you at What I Made Link Party at Creations By Kara.

    This is definitely one of my summer to-dos. Such a quick way to change up and add a pop of colour to your front or back door. The mat we have right now seems a bit too small for the space so I’m on the hunt for a rubber mat that is a little wider.

    Genius is right! They both look great but I love, love, love the brown one! Totally brilliant 🙂

    This doormat is beautiful.I love the colors and design of it. I would rather have one like this than a plan one that just says welcome. Thanks for sharing.
