# Delectable Pork Welcome Mats Welcome People to Your Home with the Bacon Doormat By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-03-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-doormat References: [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/11e2/?cpg=wnrss) While traditional welcome mats are certainly inviting, nothing quite says "come on in and make yourself at home" like a bacon doormat. Made from 100% polyester with a rubber backing to keep it in place, the bacon doormat features an incredibly detailed image of [perfectly cooked bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-product-range) that looks so good you can almost smell it. The bacon doormat measures 27-inches by 18-inches, making the bacon look extraordinarily huge, ensuring that when guests come over for supper, they'll be instantly put in the mood for bacon. With so many [weird bacon-inspired products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites) on the market, from bacon scarves, to bacon deodorants, and even bacon coffins, getting a bacon doormat doesn't seem so ridiculous tame by comparison. I'm a firm believer that everything is better when it's "baconized," the bacon doormat is helping to prove my theory right. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bacon-inspired Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unique and novelty products inspired by bacon to cater to the growing demand for bacon-themed merchandise. - **Novelty Doormats:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture creative and eye-catching doormats, like the bacon doormat, to appeal to consumers looking for unique home decor items. - **Food-inspired Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a range of home decor items inspired by different types of food, such as pizza rugs or sushi curtains, to tap into the trend of food-themed interior design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative and quirky home decor products, like the bacon doormat, to attract customers looking to add personality and uniqueness to their living spaces. - **Consumer Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of novelty products, such as bacon-inspired items, to target consumers who enjoy collecting unique and playful items. - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with food-inspired merchandise, like bacon-themed products, to expand the food industry's reach beyond traditional edible goods and tap into the growing affinity for food-related items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bacon-Scented Wrapping Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-bacon-wrapping-paper.md) - [Pork-Scented Dryer Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-dryer-sheets.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md) - [Patterned Luxe Progressive Doormats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outlier.md) - [Expansive Bacon-Themed Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baconfest-lineup.md) - [Cartoon-Themed Smart Bath Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issin.md) - [Washable Pet Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dayspring-mat.md) - [Celebratory Bacon Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cake.md) - [Bacon-Scented Fragrant Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wright-n-100.md)
