The story (and talent) behind LKN doormats & more
Welcome to LKN doormats & more!
I’m Diane, and I live in Denver, North Carolina, near beautiful Lake Norman, with my husband.
In my shop, you’ll find sublimated home goods such as doormats, microfiber dish towels, and Christmas ornaments. Each piece is carefully selected and crafted to bring both style and functionality to your home. I take pride in offering products that are durable, beautiful, and practical — items I personally use and love in my own home.
LKN doormats & more began as a creative outlet in 2020 during the Covid lockdown. Like many, I was looking for something to do while my full time venture lay in limbo (I also own Platinum events & travel, a full service travel agency), but I soon became frustrated by the traditional coir mats and the painted designs I was creating with my Cricut machine. They looked great at first, but the designs worn off quickly, and those messy brown fibers were being tracked all over my foyer – the opposite of what a good doormat should do. I wanted something that looked good and held up to everyday use and the North Carolina sun.
After plenty of research (and even more trial and error), I discovered sublimation — a process that permanently infuses designs into the surface of a product. It was exactly what I needed. Using a dedicated printer and heat press, I can now create long-lasting, vibrant designs that won’t peel, rub off, or fade with use.
Today, my focus remains the same: to create high-quality, custom pieces that make your home feel warm, welcoming, and uniquely yours.
