How big of a runner should I put in this foyer?

6 years ago

Finally, just a minor design dilemma while renovating/redecorating our new home!


I am wondering how large of a rug to put into our foyer. The front door is 3 feet wide (excluding the bordering windows). The foyer is about 70 inches wide at its narrowest point. The length of the foyer is 13.5 feet.







I was thinking to get a 3 foot wide runner so there is still plenty of room for guests to wipe and take off their shoes at the door. However, it seems like most of the pretty runners out there are about 2 feet wide, with little exception, so maybe I am thinking about this wrong. I also saw that mixing and matching a small rug with a separate runner is sometimes done, but I am not sure whether or not I like that look for this space. Thoughts?
