Welcome A Cure by Carpet One
Improvements and funds for breast cancer research are essential to preventing deaths, finding a cure and eradicating the disease for good.

By donating 25% of the purchase price of every mat sold, so far, our Welcome A Cure initiative has raised nearly 1 million dollars for a variety of breast cancer research charities, and has funded nearly 10,000 hours of life-saving research through the BCRF.
The 2021 Vern Yip Collection
An exclusive welcome mat collection designed by acclaimed interior designer and HGTV and TLC TV host Vern Yip. Created with an eye for design and a heart full of appreciation and empathy, Yip's six designs honor the individuals and families bravely facing breast cancer and reflect the sacrifices they have made. Read more about what Yip had to say about each of his designs below.
Loyal Companion
"Where would many of us be without a dog to help manage our stress? Sometimes patting a dog’s head or scratching its belly is the best stress management tool some of us have. And their desire to unconditionally love us, even in the midst of a tough breast cancer battle, makes them great allies and family members for many."
Sunshine
"Anyone who has fought against cancer, or who has been on the front line helping a friend or family member in their fight, knows that mind and body are inextricably linked. Staying positive is often half the battle. Highlighting the phrase 'Let the Sunshine In' really speaks to the critical difference that staying mentally strong and hopeful can make."
Peace
"As one or our most recognized symbols for peace, the laurel wreath conveys the importance of harmonious living with each other and also within ourselves. Whether it’s a conflict-free home environment, or the establishment of an inner equilibrium, finding peace at home can be an invaluable and powerful tool in the breast cancer battle."
Lattice
"The quatrefoil is a timeless shape that’s been integrated throughout design and architecture for hundreds of years. As the coming together of four circles, it symbolizes unity and the power of a supportive community to make a difference, which is critical in the battle against breast cancer."
No Place Like Home
"Home is where the most important moments of our lives with our friends and families often unfold. I truly believe that 'There’s No Place Like Home,' especially when you’re faced with life’s big challenges like breast cancer. Having a place to call home, where you feel completely safe, loved, and supported, can make all the difference."
Tiger Stripes
"Tiger stripes are the big trend in animal prints, showing up on fashion runways and now in the home. For this mat design, I wanted to provide a fashion-forward statement for all of the fashion conscious who are also supportive of the fight against breast cancer. For me, beauty, fashion, and trends have great power when they’re also socially purposeful!"
Pink ribbon welcome mats are available at participating Carpet One Floor & Home locations.
Good Business.
