Stylish and Upcycled! This Lobster Rope Doormat Will Make Your Place Pop!

May 20th, 2013 | No Comments » | by kristel

I can finally say (after living in the same apartment for the last three years) that the place is slowly coming together. This is, of course, in part to one of my newest household additions: a Reclaimed Lobster Rope Doormat from the New England Trading Company. I was really impressed by its quality and it’s pretty awesome looking. The colors are also vibrant and distinct–it definitely adds a pop of color in my apartment.

The Colors of Maine Lobster Rope Doormats are the ones made from recycled lobster rope, which means this rope has actually been used by Maine lobstermen tethering their traps together in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s handwoven together using multiple colors, so each doormat is one of a kind!

These lobster rope doormats are so popular that they now offer New Lobster Rope Doormats and Baskets that are created with the same rope used by Maine Lobstermen (but new and unused, for those who want to choose specific patterns and colors for their doormat).

All right, let’s get to the good stuff!

I love the bright colors of this doormat and its craftsmanship. Whether you live by the ocean or in the city, I have a feeling this doormat would be able to withstand the elements. Even your dirtiest shoes or some mischievous kitties!
