While living with parents has its perks, at some point, it’s time to leave the nest, and usually [moving into an apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onda-apartment) with a friend or partner is the first step. If you’re desperate to make your place feel like home, this [cute and pretty mat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-soul) can help. Instead of the common phrase, “home sweet home” this rug updates these words and humorously reads, “apartment sweet apartment.” Although these [door mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issin) usually welcome guests outside, it’s best to have these where guests leave their shoes, as chances are if you leave this in the hall, it’ll sadly get taken. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Welcome Mats:** There is an opportunity for personalized welcome mats that reflect the individual's unique style and personality. - **Humorous Doormats:** Humorous doormats can provide a sense of lightheartedness and fun to any entryway. - **Apartment Decor:** There is a growing trend in apartment decor to make rental spaces feel more personalized and homey. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry has an opportunity to create and market welcome mats that cater to different customer preferences. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the demand for personalized and humorous doormats by offering a wide range of options for consumers. - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies can tap into the trend of apartment decor by organizing partnerships with brands that offer products specifically designed for rental spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable All-Purpose Floor Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-floor-mat.md) - [Patterned Luxe Progressive Doormats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outlier.md) - [Washable Pet Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dayspring-mat.md) - [Extra-Cushioning Traditional Floor Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-touch-tatami-mat.md) - [Doll-Themed Washable Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-ruggable.md) - [Female-Celebrating Indoor Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-women-collection.md) - [Appliance-Sized Carpet Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-bespoke-rugs.md) - [Rainbow Micro Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skittles-little-living.md) - [Intelligent Textile Sensor Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trampletek-blue.md)
