Winter weather conditions—rain, mud, and snow—are making us think about doormats again (see 10 Easy Pieces Utilitarian Doormats). Here are our favorite mats, both for inside and outside.

Above: For outside, we love the rugged and practical Teak and Stainless Steel Doormat from Skagerak Denmark; $375 at Fixture Universe.

Above: The striped Loop Chilewich Doormat made of vinyl is durable and attractive; a good second line of defense against mud and dirt when positioned inside the doorway; $48 from Chiasso.
